Difference between a 3000lb car and a 835 lb car

Post by snookwheel »

in Autocross? With the 835 lb car, the cones let you know they were hit!! :shock:

Lousy picture... but look at the front right tire. I did not even feel the hop, I just saw it in a video. I never saw quite the same reaction from my Solstice when hitting cones... and I've hit a few.. sigh

Great picture! Wait 'til you lose it in a box, do a 360, taking out the WHOLE far end of the box. Solo Vees are so much more fun than door slammers! You have to figure out a way to get some in car video, then you can relive the best and worst.

I once went through an entire event (6 runs) without hitting a cone. If Las Vegas were putting odds on me having a clean day versus the Miami Dolphins winning the Superbowl last year, smart money would be on the Dolphins. :roll:

You don't know how close you can get to them if you don't hit them..... :lol:

Yep... As my start to times drop, & I am getting used to this car, I am starting to tag some cones. I'll wear my first helmet cone mark with pride :lol:
