Matt... we are so going to this!!! I will have the clutch worked in by tomorrow night!

**fixitmattman** · 07-12-2007, 10:15 PM

Ok, but just don't get discouraged. It's your first one, finding out you're not as good as you expect is rough, especially on the cones

Wait... we will have to go in your car... I don't think they will let me on without a muffler! Can we get it put on half arsed?

**KissmySS** · 07-13-2007, 07:19 AM

So jimmy any tips for us first timers? Are helmets actually required? How much does it cost? is there anything that I should bring that a typical newb would forget? If I have a spare helmet can you have a passenger I think the GF wants to come for a ride. And where exactly is this thing?

**Jimmy** · 07-13-2007, 10:28 AM

helmets are nice to have but they aren't neccessary as they have a few loaners there as well. This sunday is 30 dollars to register. And you should remeber to take any loose shit out of your car and pump up your tires a bit extra, depending on the car but that's something that you can experiment with yourself. You can bring a spare helmet and passengers are welcome but they must sign the waiver.

Bronte Go Station (2104 Wyecroft Road, Oakville) This is where it is and registration is at 8a.m.
I will be at sportsworld at 7a.m. and stay there for about 10 minutes before I leave so if you wanna go make sure you're there at 7

Hope to see a few of you out

**steved_97ILS** · 07-13-2007, 05:09 PM

Jimmy,

Whats the track event you mentioned on the 30th? Which road course, and through which org?

**Jimmy** · 07-13-2007, 07:13 PM

it was actually june 30th and it was through touge tuning, at the ddt track at mosport, I'm actually going to dunville tomorrow as well as the autocross sunday

**Jimmy** · 07-14-2007, 11:03 PM

should i expect anyone there in the morning

**KissmySS** · 07-14-2007, 11:04 PM

Alrighty the alarm is set, as long as it's not raining I will be a sports world tomorrow by 7am, hope to see you guys there.

**Jimmy** · 07-14-2007, 11:31 PM

awesome, its supposed to be mint weather tomorrow so i'll see you in the a.m.

**Jimmy** · 07-14-2007, 11:33 PM

i guess i better get some sleep because i just got back from the dunville lapping day, rained most of the time we were there but was still lots of fun as it seems vipers, c6 vets, fd rx7's, porsche 928's as well as other expensive performance cars seem to have trouble getting around the track when it is wet

**fixitmattman** · 07-15-2007, 01:12 PM

Put the wheels on, get everything ready, and I fucking sleep in

**96escortlx** · 07-15-2007, 01:56 PM

And you didn't call to wake me up either!

**KissmySS** · 07-16-2007, 06:50 PM

well that was a lot of fun for my first time out. I was obviously disappointed with how I did but guarantee that I will be do better next time. Jimmy where did you take off to, I didn't get a chance to give you your $10 back

**WRC_VERNA** · 07-16-2007, 10:15 PM

fun day?

I enjoyed the auto-X in eastern ontario on the 15th

don't worry we'll settle up another time...I was very tired and didn't feel very well and was definitely ready to go...sorry for taking off without saying by

No worries, when ya gotta go, ya gotta go

**Royson** · 07-20-2007, 01:44 PM

I was there too, rocking the tan Protege that slid through every corner due to cheap tires, but didn't hit one cone! Finished over-all in 63rd place of the 95 cars. Not bad for my first time at Bronte. My buddy was the one running the black Speed6, which finished 66th place.

**KissmySS** · 07-22-2007, 07:27 PM

that's awesome, my buddy was the guy with the green protoge, I was definitely impressed at how well the those cars performed, they have always been known to have good suspension geometry. The mazdaspeed protoge was SICK in it's day

**wolf** · 08-21-2007, 03:28 PM

I didn't realize that any of the VM people were at this event. I have been going to all of these. I ended up 8th out of 95 with my miata. Next time introduce yourselves (black miata #67)

**Royson** · 08-22-2007, 02:47 PM

I'll be there on Sept. 9th, with a gutted red Tracer - we'll be rocking whatever number we're given.

The car is going to be hilarious looking, so feel free to come by and laugh at it openly - just introduce yourself too!

It'll be the first time driving this project car in an AutoX, so hopefully our times aren't too bad

I beat the hell out of it and it begs for more, just like your girlfriend. Go ahead, cut me off. I dare ya.
