Lately I’m not so sure what this ‘blog is supposed to be about, but I’m pretty sure it’s not about cars and autocrossing. One nice thing about having my own dedicated server is that it takes just a few minutes to register a domain and get a new weblog started: www.autocrossaddict.com. It’s still a work-in-progress.

20Nov05Autocross #7
09Oct05As expected I was bumped into E-Stock. We actually had a D-Stock SRT-4 on the site but the guy was running his Miata in ES. The ES field was pretty slim, the one Miata, an old Datsun 280Z, and an MkII MR2. The Z didn’t have tires that were worth a damn, he was getting […]
Autocross #6 (Practice)
08Oct05Made it to the IRCC practice today. They laid out a very short course — best time was in the 29s — which meant we got to run 6 laps in the morning and 6 more in the afternoon. I’m becoming a bit worried that my front tires won’t last me through the next six […]
Autocross #5
05Oct05The September 25th Homestead event was a pile of suckiness. Seems that the local indoor karting facility got shut down and Homestead tried to cancel our booking so the karters could have the lot. As a “compromise” we had to be packed up and gone by 3PM, which meant we had to finish running by […]
Autocross #4
12Sep05This weekend I skipped the IRCC practice day but made it up to Fort Pierce for Sunday’s event. The location is much nicer / safer than Homestead — no trees on the course, no fences or other obstacles near the boundries. It’s also a much smaller group, perhaps 50 cars vs. 200-ish, and there were […]
Autocross Supplies
29Aug05I’m going to shoot for two autocross events in September. The next SE Florida event isn’t until the 25th, so I’ll try a Central region event at the Indian River Community College on the 10th / 11th (they do a practice day before every event). It’s about a 90 minute drive versus 60 for Homestead…

Autocross #3
21Aug05Had such an awesome time at today’s autocross practice event. For my first eight laps I ran the car as it was and posted a best time of under 51 seconds. I was ecstatic. I owned the slalom, which had been my least favorite “feature” of the autocross tracks. Still understeering too much on fast […]
Autocross #2
15Aug05Ran my second autocross @ Homestead yesterday. This time we had four cars in D-Stock and I placed third. My best raw time was about 1.5 seconds behind a WRX sedan, but I did kill a cone on that run. Pictures are up, my brother resisted the urge to zoom in tight on moving cars […]
