Knows what a chicago box is  Group: Members Posts: 272 Joined: 8-August 04 Member No.: 335  |
QUOTE (Soma07 @ Jul 10 2005, 08:03 PM) Hosts are myself (Jason), my brother (Jonathan), and Ben Yu. Hopefully we'll have a course map soon   Ben Yu is the guy in the red Mini right? hmm... mini, miata.... Jason make sure you remember you have an f-body when designing this course... (no chicago boxes that require near 3 point turns) but a slalom, sounds like fun, I generally have problems in them so feel free to have 2 of them I could use the practice, I think I should be good and healthy by that time so I can come out for next months event, hopefully. -------------------- 2000 Chevy Camaro 3.8L v6 w/5-speed T-top converted

QUOTE (MustangEater82 @ Jul 13 2005, 08:29 AM) Ben Yu is the guy in the red Mini right? He's one of them, I think someone else drives a red Mini too... Anyhow right now it looks like the course will probably have a Chicago box somewhere. Don't worry though, it'll be decent sized (like the one on the Evolution Phase I course). In other words if I can get my huge honkin F-body through it without any trouble no one else has a reason to complain

He's one of them, I think someone else drives a red Mini too...Fred Zimmerman drives a red 2003 mini cooper S with a white top and white racing stripes on the hood. In May he was running in GS against Bert's silver mini S. I expect the same was true for last sunday. Ben Yu drives a red 2004 mini cooper S with a white top, no racing stripes, and the cooperworks modifications. (Fred said he thinks Ben's mini has around 200 hp!  ). In June Ben was racing in SMST.

Slaloms are awesome! How 'bout one of my famous offset, decreasing distance slaloms? End it with a pivot cone and come back through the opposite direction.  BWAHAHAHA! Evil.

WOW Tony, that would be one VERY painful Slalom!!!
When walking that lot out I figured in order to have more then a 4 cone slalom it would require you to run diagnal from one end of the lot to the other but it would be hard to keep speed up on the entrance. That lot just isn't big enough for a good fun slalom IMHO. -------------------- Ian

Knows what a chicago box is Group: Members Posts: 272 Joined: 8-August 04 Member No.: 335 |
I wouldn't mind a 360* wagon wheel that would be fun... If I have any say where, the left wheels are torn up more(my right side tires are more worn from my open diff days)
I don't mind a chicago box. As long as an f-body can make it through that isn't driven by Sam Strano.  I actually prefer alot of the "difficult things" the more seat time I get with them, the better feel I get with my car through them. -------------------- 2000 Chevy Camaro 3.8L v6 w/5-speed T-top converted
