detjoe Posted May 6, 2007 Report Posted May 6, 2007 I just noticed it was mothers day, oh well. The next autocross is may 13, 2007 at the hamtramck plant, I75 &I94. details, cost, misc info. if the weather is nice, it is a good time, some fast vette's. It was cold and windy last time. I want to get more pics of my truck driving the course, I am thinking about running in second gear or maybe fisrt so I dont have to shift much, the truck kind of falls on its face when you are going on/off the gas. There were seven cars in my class last time, and I did finish seventh...but it was still fun, I'll try to hit more cones this time Quote
hot rod truck Posted May 8, 2007 Report Posted May 8, 2007 parking lot timed track, laid out with cones (gates). You race for best time through the course, usually 2-3 runs at an event. Occasionally they will get a track facility where the speeds and the length (of the course) increase Layman explanation: Mash throttle, stand on brakes, turn left, turn right, repeat Quote
ImpoSStor SS Posted May 8, 2007 Report Posted May 8, 2007 It can be alot of fun! A couple of videos that include autocross are here. Quote

Did that a few times years ago with my Trans-am. Warped my rotors!! Sounds like fun but too much wear and tear on the truck. It'll have to stay a garage queen. Thank you too, Stewart. Cool video. Maybe I'll go watch. Edited May 8, 2007 by BOB47 (see edit history) Quote
