So there's good runners.... and then there's Matt and Gregg. Now that's pretty funny!

So has Rob taken official credit yet for your high finish? Ya know, because he apparently repaired your fuel vent or something that one time awhile back?

Yeah I laughed a bit too, was 100% positive you'd pick that up.

Nope, Robo wants nothing to do with us cone chasers. He did shame me into buying $400 worth of flaring tools to fix 'his fix.' Next step is a beach chair, a beer and an egg timer in my garage so he can tell me how I'm doing it wrong

You guys are too funny.

#1 --- Good for you Ron!


#2 --- I think I figured out why I don't AutoX..... 40 whole seconds of driving. UGH.

I am actually wanting to do more autocrossing
I think it is more of a challenge than running the
track all the time... I kinda get bored out there
some times going round and round

Thanks Gae! To be honest, the shocks are close but there's a bit more to go. I've been working on the wingnut (driver) mod and only adjusting tire pressure the last few outings. I'm about ready to do a little shock and swaybar tuning now.

The vid doesn't really capture the brutality of the car, at least not to my eye. It's so easy to overpower (and push or get loose) the tires or the corner and screw up the line. It took me all day to get that one almost mistake free line. Even then, I could've cut it closer to the cones in some corners. Also the final dash to the finish I'm in second and probably doing 70, so I need to take it easy on the last jog and then nail it. Guys like Hobaugh or Maier make it look easy!

Thanks Greg. Tough, frustrating, challenging and exhilarating sport. Seat time sucks, but 15 run days makes it tolerable

Get out there Bob.

I wonder how different the Pantera feels with the weight bias to the rear?

Every autocross run is like a qualifying lap on a track, just condensed... It takes WAY more effort on the driver's part to do it well than a lap around a track. Plus, in most cases you only get 3-4 tries at it to get it right...
