Pictures from autocross school, San Fransisco CA (large)

I had an awesome weekend with the PCA GGR at autocross school and managed to get some good pictures out of it too. My little GruppeB car was tearing the place apart. I posted times right up with the 914s, the turbos, and the racecars. My little 6" Yokohama "Decible" street tires had loads of grip all day long and really let me do some business out there. The pics are too good not to share. Enjoy.

I am not afraid to drive my car to its limits. I never spun, but we did manange more than a few power-slides. This photo is rad:

I just picked up a full race-compound tire/wheel setup last night too. 16x6/7 Fuchs with Hoosier rubber. Im already in the super-insane-o modified class because of my engine swap and suspension so I should be able to get away with the R-compound. I can't wait to find out how she does on the next time out, that is if the g-force doesn't throw me clean out of the car.

If you didn't spin, you weren't trying hard enough!

Nice lift though. I wish I could make it to AX#1 in a couple weeks.

Might want to tighten up that rear roll-stiffness.... just a tad

Hey if you can get that wheel up a bit more you'll be able to clear the cones and significantly shorten your path around the corners!!

My rear sway bar bushing was all shot and the drop link kept popping off. I zip-tied (hey, she ain't too good for zip-ties!) the drop link to the sway bar and went driving. New bushings are on the way but she'll probably still be standing up. I have Carrera torsion bars in her so I can't even feel the sways under load.

Your rear torsion bars are way to soft that is causing you to lift the front wheel.
