NY AutoX event list

[TRD StreetRacing]

if you would like to join rico (official NE autoXer) and myself (autoX noob) in attending some autoX events, please feel free to come. if you dont feel like running, atleast come watch/learn. try and make it to atleast one of the events.

from the look of the listed days, you would pretty much catch me in all of them.

http://www.autox4u.com/nyr.htm

BTW.....joe...it's already set that ur coming to to watch/learn one meet and atleast run one time. on may 2nd is "novice school" ....so the both of us can attend ;) if you don't wanna run on the other days

[evil eye]

Hopefully I can go, that is mighty close to finals week. We'll play it by ear, but I'm down to go with you on the 2nd, so long as school is not a problem. :)

[TRD StreetRacing]

hopefully either 1 of us wont have something major due the following week of the 2nd but lets see. i know the first and second week of may is the creaziest time cuz of term papers, projects....ect

but hopefully it will be all good

[evil eye]

True that bro, we can only hope. :)

[ScooterKin]

you guys should also consider going to E-Town for autox events as well

the track they make is a lot bigger since the parking lot is bigger, so you can open her up more, which is always fun

i'm going to the 4/10 autox at e-town first, then i'll stay local and do the 4/17 autox at Nassau...love to have some company on the way down and back :D

[evil eye]

Where's e-town again? I always hear about it, is that in Jersey?

[ScooterKin]

yeah Old Bridge Township Jersey...

this past Sat morning for the Honda Day autox/drag i left my place at 7:55...got there in RECORD time...8:55

it's roughly a 70 mile journey one way

[evil eye]

Oh I see, so thats definitely something we have to plan in advance for. This is what we should be doing for meets and stuff, that way we dont have to worry about what we're gonna do when we all meet up. :) I'd be down to do it. Stupid question but are there a lot of tolls?

I would be down for that, well if can manage to wake up that early :o:

[evil eye]

LOL it's early? I didn't even see the times, what time does it start? I cant drive to save my soul in the morinings. :D

[ScooterKin]

well you gotta have all yer stuff together, signed up and tech inspected by like 9AM

at Nassau, i usually get there by around 7:30...for E-Town, i'll be leaving my place around 6:45 and getting there hopefully by around 8

suck it up and go to bed early...so worth it :D

[evil eye]

:werd: I'll suck it up for one day! :)

i would have run at e-town but i don't think my tires will be ready by then. so that rules out my chances of taking part. i might how ever come with you though. never been to an autoX meet at e-town but is there a fee for just attending and watching??

I cant sleep earlier, I'm addicted to this site remember! :gap:

[twistedGTS]

hehehehe, we'll see... i do want do to it

[TRD StreetRacing]

let us know (atleast me) cuz i know i'm 99.99% sure i'm going to the novice school event

[timdabom]

e-mail conemark@mac.com to register, $60 but worth it. however, it is a good idea to do a few events before the school so you'll know what to expect.

[evil eye]

who made this a hot topic? lol, is it automatic? just curious cuz that "poster" thread is eating up most of the sites bandwidth.

[TRD StreetRacing]

i asked manny to make it a sticky cuz the first post listed the dates of the events

[TRD StreetRacing]

who are you and how did u find this thread?? :confused:

[evil eye]

ahhh okie. ;)

[ScooterKin]

i'm going to make a BOLD statement right here right now...

IF you guys come to an event and do NOT race, you WILL BE kicking yerself for not doing it :D

with that said, you do NOT need to go to novice school before participating...there have been PLENTY of "noobs" who run autox without the school...i'm one of 'em :D

this is my 4th year doing this, and every year there are more and more people who just come out with daily drivers just to try it out a few times and enjoy what it feels like to take their rides to the limits

novice school is a worthwhile venture..but i wouldn't exclude yerself from an event just b/c you didn't do the school...like i said, you will get the itch once you start seeing cars running the course :D

[TRD StreetRacing]

i would run in the 17th event but i don't think my tire set up will be ready by then for sure. so the next possible option is on the 2nd which happends to be novice school

[ScooterKin]

come the 10th...if you like it, run the 17th...who cares if the tires are ready or not...run anyway

[TRD StreetRacing]

my tires are pretty much slicks. 0 tread and i do mean 0 (atleast the backs are 0)

the front has abouth 30% thread. if i take a normal turn at a decent speed (abour 20-30mph) over the speed limit, i can feel the tire slip

[ScooterKin]

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

scary sh!t, ain't it

[TRD StreetRacing]

yes....getting through winter was enough for me. getting through a lap around the autoX track is another story

[ScooterKin]

maybe i'll let you ride once with my baby...then you'll appreciate all the weight you save driving the Cel

[TRD StreetRacing]

what's the weight on ur car??

[ScooterKin]

3594 with me in it, minus the spare and stock jack

[TRD StreetRacing]

holy shit......that's a 1000lbs more than the celi :AF:

[ScooterKin]

yeah...it's a friggin miracle i can keep up with the likes of WRX's, IS300's, and ITR's with my boat!!!

remember, it's not the car, it's the DRIVER ;)

[TRD StreetRacing]

yes but that much more weight must make a difference (even if it's a small 1)

[ScooterKin]

absolutely

my car feels like it's on rails (well a 3500 pound car on rails will feel different than a 2500 car on rails) :D

the tighter the turn, the worse for me, the better for you

which is why i've been stating for so long the best autox car i've seen is a Neon (1, modability for speed is easy, and 2, it's boxy and small, giving nimble handling in the twisties)

[evil eye]

I need to replace my pads and rotors before I do anything, it's getting worse by the week. :( My baby is crying.

[ScooterKin]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :drool:

[evil eye]

Nice, I see you installed the rotors the right way, as some people with slotted, don't.

I still have to install mine, they look just like yours, what are they brembo? Mine are brembo's and they are supposedly CAD plated which prevents rust, but thats all BS me thinks. Everything wears off after a while, and the rust will show Im sure.

[ScooterKin]

there is no wrong way to install the rotors...doesn't matter what direction the slots/cd's are facing...common myth

yeah these are Brembo blanks that i had cd/slotted by a guy at Eurobraketech up in Yonkers area

i too got rotara slotted rotors cuz my rotors are gone. i'll be changing my pads at the same time too

geez man, i even threw up pics with the name plastered on it, and you STILL spelled it wrong ;) hehe i love bustin yer ballz, ESPECIALLY after calling bs on my 1/4 times :D:D

yer gonna LOVE the pedal response and resistance to brake fade...unfortunately, yer gonna have to autox the car in order to get a TRUE account of lack of brake fade

[TRD StreetRacing]

many autoX fanatics have said that changing rotors on a celi is pointless. you don't feel any advantage over stock

the only reason i got it cuz i got a deal on em. i got if for $200 for all 4. plus my front rotors definitly have to be replaced so......

[evil eye]

I got my Brembo's for $170 shipped for all four slotted/drilled. :D But i really need them, my stocks have major problems. But that was my fault.

[TRD StreetRacing]

shut up foo.....no1 asked u :p:

[evil eye]

:eek: :sadpace: :fawk:

[InsaneDriver]

Need some advise...:newbie:
I've been to a few Auto X events, however, I never participated in any event. :gay:
I don't feel like purchasing the rule book, so I need some tips or advise on the basic rules for driving in fuc!-in' circles. Also, I noticed on May 2nd there is a novice school for auto x, would you recommend this event before participating in other auto x events?

[ScooterKin]

wise words from a wise man

someone please let some air outta my hair ;)

[InsaneDriver]

Actually, there is a right and wrong way on installing rotors. This is a quote from a representative from Stoptech, " Vanes are the internal structure that you cannot see from a profile view. The vanes are actually 'slanted' in the opposite direction of the slots on the face of the rotor. The leading edges of the vanes 'point' towards the center opening of the rotor. As the wheel rolls, the rotor spins so that the leading edges of the internal vanes are cutting into the air, and actually pumping it outwards. This is one area that our AeroRotor design is superior to the competition. Air evacuation through the rotor is greater.
Back to the slots...you don't want the slots on the face in the same direction as the vanes. Why? Because they interfere with heat transfer. Heat travels from the face of the rotor into the internal structure of the rotors...into the vanes. As air flows over the vanes, it cools them. By cross-hatching the slot over the vane like an X, you are not taking a big chunk of material out of any single vane. If you laid a slot down in parallel over top of an internal vane, you would impair the heat transfer mechanism, and you would take away from the strength of the part."

[TRD StreetRacing]

cliff notes any1?? :gap:

[evil eye]

I have two pass side rear rotors. I would bitch to the seller I bought them from, but I bought them like a year before I finally installed them, lol. Oh well. The other 3 are on the right way, and eventually I'm going to get a full big brake system, cuz I think my driver side caliper is spastic.

[TRD StreetRacing]

big brake kit??

[evil eye]

Yea a kit, for all four rotors. Sorry, wrong word usage. :gap:

[speedeeGTS]

i think its time for this thread to be unstickied manny ;)

[TRD StreetRacing]

N-E-V-E-R-R-R-R-R-R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

o wait....i'm not manny :wtf:

[EastcoastSpeed]

So when is the show in jersey?

[TRD StreetRacing]

[evil eye]

Why is this still stickied? :chuckles:

I think you might be talking about this older guy who used to be part of the crew for WSCCA. The two of us were the only two people with celica's back in 2k when they first came out. The 1st event I went to he didn't run the celica in it, but the next one I was at he did.

[TRD StreetRacing]

he is not an older guys. he looks/seems to be in his mid-late 20's. rico (twm00) knows the guy. he as attended many events with him in the past couple years

[twistedGTS]

mike when are you going the autox event at the col. again?

[TRD StreetRacing]

i'm im not mistaken, there is 1 this weekend (sunday). i will be visiting that for about a hr or so

[twistedGTS]

let me know if you are going for sure, i would like to come. What time would you go?

[EasyC]

Wow, no one has posted in this sticky since april. How did everyone do at the events?

[twistedGTS]

i had a lot of fun but didnt do that good since i'm a total newbie. This week will be my 3rd time, hopefuly I'll be pushing the car a lot more.

Newbie times work. I haven't done it at all and want to hit up one event before winter. So something to compare to would be nice.

[twistedGTS]

well the courses are different everytime so you can't really compare times. It's a lot of fun, you should try it.

[EasyC]

I think I will. I have a pretty decent set up.....let's see what the TPR mobile can do!!!

[TRD StreetRacing]

damn fabian...i got ur message too late this past weekend. i didnt attend last week due to the fact that i have a flat and i'm sporting the new look of the spare. by any chance, you would not happen to have a GTS wheel would you?? if i dont get a tire by this weekend, can i borrow a gts wheel and tire from you (if you have 1)?? i'll ask joe too

[EasyC]

Mike, use a donut :rofl:

I only have my old 18's, two of the wheels are cracked. I sold my 16's years ago.

And speaking of broken things, fix your lowbeams already. Your highbeams were killing me the night of the Matrix meet. :faint:

[TRD StreetRacing]

i have to find the socket that attaches into the lowbeam bulb. when i put in the HID's i put the sockets somewhere in my room and now i cant find it :sadpace:

[twistedGTS]

this saturday is the last event of the year on LI, don't miss it!

[evil eye]

Yeah, I think it's time to let this thread die now.

*Unstickied*

[TRD StreetRacing]

i will never let this threa down ....bwahahahah.....on a bright note, since i have a REAL JOB now and i have my weekends off, i cant wait check out the upcoming auto X season. i pretty much can attend every event @ nassau colisium :thumbup:

[evil eye]

I think you said the same thing last year. :D

[TRD StreetRacing]

I think you said the same thing last year. :D

thats cuz last year i was unemployed for a 2 month period, untill i found another "retail" job which had me working on the weekend :sadpace:

[twistedGTS]

I'll see you there Mike! :thumbup:

[evil eye]

Yeah, I know you got a real job now. I'm just busting your balls. :)

It's been a while since I checked this thread. I see that Jeff has called me out.

*Jeff - I moved to CA. Autoxing in CA sucks. 4 runs!!! I'm coming back here to autox...I hope.

There'll be another sticky when the new season starts.

[TRD StreetRacing]

I'll see you there Mike! :thumbup:

This thread is seeing more hits now in the past week, than it did in the past 6 months. :chuckles:
