mr2greasemonkey · 06-23-2008, 02:36 PM

That's great, good shots of the car.

powderballz · 06-26-2008, 05:18 PM

thanks, i have another event this weekend, so i'll have more pics, and this time im gonna have r-compounds

mr2greasemonkey · 06-27-2008, 02:14 AM

damn, I so envy you guys, maybe next year I can get my car to real events.

Gairloch · 06-27-2008, 02:20 AM

Is that a stock class? I had no idea the stock suspension allowed so much roll that you almost have a volkswagon salute going on with the front inside tire.

Looks like a blast man

powderballz · 06-27-2008, 03:48 PM

yup, its runnin stock.

kbrew8991 · 06-27-2008, 05:44 PM

stock sway too I'll bet, or he'd really be lifting inside front

don't need the weight on that corner anyway, want it on the outside front and outside rear

goddom · 06-27-2008, 07:40 PM

Did you get FTD in your class, for the whole field, or indexed FTD?

Here are some pics of me in Detroit with a local club.

powderballz · 06-27-2008, 08:56 PM

FTD for the class, i i ran in the first heat, and the course was soaked, but by the middle of the secong heat the course way bone dry it was 80* and not a cloud to be seen so there was no hope for fast index time

goddom · 06-27-2008, 09:32 PM

Cool. Maybe one day I will be fastest in my class, but I will need some new rubber before I can even hope for that.

I would love to do one event in the wet one of these days. It would give me a good idea of what the car feels like in the rain.

What city do you race in?

powderballz · 06-27-2008, 10:18 PM

i run with the ASCC akron sports car club, but we race close to cleveland than akron. i've also ran with the ohio valley region down near columbus, but i like ASCC because its much closer.

powderballz · 06-29-2008, 04:02 PM

i ran amazing today, i won ES again, and i came in 14th of 70 for PAX..not bad for completly stock and it only being my third time autoXing. pics to come soon!!

goddom · 06-29-2008, 04:24 PM

How many cars are in your class?

powderballz · 06-29-2008, 04:35 PM

today there were 3 drivers and 2 cars, i had my MR2 and my brother was co-driving with me, and there was also a miata that ran ES.

goddom · 06-29-2008, 06:50 PM

Cool. Yeah there is usually only like 3-4 people in the ES class at the events I go to as well. Usually Im 3rd. There is a miata that is very fast, who usually takes 1st in the class by a good margin. Then there is a Fiero who I am close to, but I need new tires I think before I can get him. Im driving on all seasons that are hard as rocks. I let an experienced guy drive my car for one run, and he was freaked out by how slippery my tires were.

Im having fun, and now that my rears are bald I can convince my wife to let me get new ones

powderballz · 06-29-2008, 08:14 PM

heres a few pics, THEY LOOK SWEET!!! the only problem is that i wasnt driving in any of the pics that were taken, they were all of my brother

Teado · 07-02-2008, 06:45 PM

Very nice shots. My father-in-law races his Miata and has been trying to get me out to the track in the MR. But I've only had it a month and want to make sure it's not going to blow up before I take it out there. Looking forward to it though.
