Hope to see lots of TCC cars out!

i'd go, but i bent my front cross member at the last one and i haven't had a chance to fix it yet!

A friend of mine lost his rex in turn 1 at Mosport. If you need a Crossmember, I'm sure you can take his dirt cheap.

i've already started building a new one miles. thanks though.

hurry up and finish it! your car is quick man.

yeah, too bad i don't have the driving skills to go with it!

it's ok, practice makes perfect! i had quite a few off courses that day too. i'll be there this sunday.

Dude, I rode in your car. Thought your car control skills were very impressive. Just needed some stickier tires and you'd have an easy 2-3 second gain. Just need seat time.

I'm planning to go - but would i need an helmet ? Is it ok to use a motorcycle helmet or is it better to buy one just for the car?

DJM:>

Most people use motorcycle helmets. Only freaks like me actually go out and buy an SA helmet. You only need those if you run a full rollcage in your car anyway - so gross over-kill for autocross.

my car has most of the interior removed, so maybe i'll just go with the motorcycle helmet :) thanks!! see everyone there. I'll be the guy in the beater turquoise hatch.


DJM:>

Cool. Feel free to ride shotgun in my red CRX for a run. The lack of interior doesn't make a difference for helmet protection. With a seatbelt on you're not going to hit the interior. With a rollbar, there's a post to your side that if the car rolls you'll hit a couple times so the SA helmets can take a few more secondary hits. Plus, they have a fire proof lining.

See you there.

I'm going to try to be there.

i recommend you to sit in miles car too. his car is pretty damn fast and he's very helpful.

Oh gosh! Waaaaay too much fun to be legal. And only a few people openly giggled at my 13" rubber ;)

Anyone who wants to enjoy their car - you NEED to autox. I think i could sell my xbox now... and skip Wonderland....

DJM:>

Glad you had a good time. Props to all the TCC members in attendence. :) Hope you like the ride in the passenger seat. You threw that car really well for street rubber on 13s. :p Probably had more fun than someone on 17s. ;)

bunch of no showing tccers! thanks again miles, you showed me some good tips and they worked very well! except i still couldn't get a good run so i just gave up and left early. it was an ok day, for some reason my tires just didn't work as well as the previous event. maybe it was the weather or i just have to drive better.

oh man I forgot all about this! My tires, bearings, clutch and axles atleast got an extended vacation :)
