That thing was in the Honda tent at the Mid Ohio Indy race last year. Pretty interesting, I'd like to see it in action.

Oh shit, I just tried calling that SOB to see what he was doing while in town. I'll try to swing by for some grub.

Taken from FinalGear.com, thought you guys would find it interesting: "Last week, before Eric Stromer was announced as the third host, a caller called into Adam’s show wanting an update on Top Gear. Discussion ensued about the third host having been picked, that they’d be reviewing supercars and such much like the British version, and so forth. However the surprising thing, to me at least, was Adam mentioning that NBC was actually going to be allowing them to praise or more importantly criticize cars as they saw fit. Many people, including me, were worried that since NBC was advertiser supported, there would be resistance to criticizing cars that could be potential advertisers. Luckily it seems that NBC is smart enough to realize that the only way Top Gear America can succeed is if the hosts are allowed to say their true feelings and aren’t on a leash. This is very, very good news."

The new episodes usually air at 8PM in the UK, so that's roughly 3 PM here. You can expect a torrent for the episode to be up within an hour or two, possibly longer since this will be the first episode and everyone will be dogpiling into the torrent sites.

Saw the R8 last Saturday on 70W near Hilliard. I slowed down so it could get closer but some car got between me and it before I got off the highway

After going over the runs in my head, I'm pretty sure I was over driving the car. I had the idea that if my tires weren't screaming the entire run then I wasn't going fast enough. And watching the other heats, the cars looked like they were going much slower than it feels behind the wheel. I remember seeing Jerry's car driving in the grid area, I think you were in the same heat as me. I talked a lot to another Miata driver named Miles, he gave me some good tips.

That was a damn good time. I was extremely under-prepared for my class and was a distant last, but had fun. I managed to improve run-by-run, too. The course was nicely designed, I thought. At least it was easy for a novice to navigate. I didn't run into many of you guys, but I'll probably be back for another one this year.

For the last two years I've tried to find a recording of the entire race once it was over because I missed it. I would be interested in these videos, as well. Looks like this year I'll only get to see a couple hours, again

Could have been a guy I work with. He recently bought a 1.8t A4, white, with a (ugly) body kit and chrome wheels. I don't personally like the way it looks but he claims it has some go-fast parts.

Haha, ok, cool.

How do the loaner helmets work on site? My helmet hook-up fell through so I'll need to borrow one...

I'll be there, it'll be my first. I'll be in the black GTI, probably dragging cones underneath.

My damn cousin decided to get married that weekend, so unfortunatly I can't keep up my streak. But I plan to be there at least one day. Let's hope the weather is as perfect as last year's ALMS weekend.

Ok, thanks for the help. I'm sure it won't be the last question, but it helps me get started.

So, G Stock, or STX because of modifications?

I thought I'd put this question here instead of making a new thread: I'm looking to register for the 15th of June event and am completely new to autocross. I can't find any kind of guide to figuring out what class my car would be in. It's basically stock, only has a chip and euro spec springs. I wish I hadn't missed the school in May, but I wasn't paying attention.

I wanted to as soon as I heard about it back in like March. Unfortunatley, I have family obligations this weekend.

Did the Red Bull car manage to not break or crash? (Oh! Lame Formula one joke, sorry.) That shit looks like so much fun, wish I had gotten into that stuff.

I kinda see Philly knocking out Pittsburgh, just a hunch. As long as Detroit doesn't win The Cup, I'm happy.

Haha, sorry Dave. They haven't fallen off, so you did a good job haha.

I'm sure he's tired of it, but thanks again for the quick service this week. I decided that I needed new tires and all it took was a quick phone call to him and by that time the next day I had some BFGoodrich all seasons installed. I'm pretty happy with the tires. It took me a couple miles to get used to them but they definitely grip more than the Continentals. I haven't had a chance to push them to their limit, yet. As always, NTB downtown is highly recommended.

+1 for APR programming.

Damnit, I didn't have time to get it today. Gonna go tomorrow, then wait for the weekend to hide from the big, scary, outside world haha. Anyone try the multiplayer yet?

Do you pretty much have to have it pre-ordered to get it within the next couple weeks?

Hey, same car! Nice pictures, a subtle rake would really improve the attitude of the car. What suspension upgrade do you have?
