Fiji ST Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Loaner helmets are available for use, if plan on more than a few events it's best to pick up your own at Iron Pony. That's the "plan", but who knows with my luck. I figured I should at least participate in the school (Been wanting to do it for the past 4 years), learn a bunch of stuff so I don't make an ass out of myself, and go from there.

Chief8one Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'm kind of bummed/mad at all the saturday races... i work EVERY saturday.. sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReddyZ06 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Kind of a hi-jack of this thread... I never realized how many photos I took ended up here - or how many had cone killers in them. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 See Mike, it's your fault we all look terrible!! If you would only take pictures of when we hit that perfect corner we'd all look like the pros we really are........kidding!! It's greatly appreciated you do what you do for us, especially considering you do it at no charge!! Gray, I know the feeling as saturday is my busiest day for work as well.

Chief8one Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 well the miata is no where ready really to be comp.in ES anyway so i probably wouldn't be a contender for the championship anyway. Maybe I'll use my sundays to visit other regions.....do some NASA events etc. F$%k it thanks for the pics Mike BTW !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 mike i want one of those single photo with the multi car shots in it. those look awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coty061885 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'm also pretty upset about the Saturday dates. I work second shift and getting up early on Saturday will be tough, but I'll make it. I hope I can run the full season this year, but I already know some dates are filled with personal stuff. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetic_Influx Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Just thought I'd throw my two cents in - Hi my name is Mike, and I hate cones. Can't wait to see everyone out there this season (my first one in Columbus). http://www.flux21.com/z/autox/DSC05637.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TURBOED Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi my name is Mike, and I hate cones. It looks like we have different approaches to our cone hatred. You like to warn them that you are coming... while I, on the other hand, run them over then taunt them as they watch me drive away :bangbang: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f122/jjschafe/IMG_0323.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to find some stickers like that too. I figure this way, if I end up eating one, I can plead to "the booth" that I warned them and I shouldn't get docked any time. Oh and in case it's not old news, everyone here could benefit from these shirts: http://madcowsdesign.com/cone-killer.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Reason Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Been really looking forward to this. Would you guys recommend to a noob going to the test and tune or just waiting until the driver school first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TURBOED Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Been really looking forward to this. Would you guys recommend to a noob going to the test and tune or just waiting until the driver school first? I'd say that attending the tnt before the school would be a very good thing. The tnt is a very relaxed atmosphere, so a good chance to get your feet wet and get the feel for the car/navigating the cones without having the pressure/distractions of an event or school. Then at the school, you can focus more on driving and less on learning the basics of an autocross course/event. Also, there are always a lot of helpful people who would be more than willing to ride along and help you at the tnt. On top of that, my advice would be to attend anything and everything possible. No seat time is bad seat time, so just get out as much as you can, and get faster every time :burn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
