Pictures from OMSC Autoslalom Event 1

[Maurizio]

Some of you know that I was at the DDT yesterday taking pictures for some up and coming posters. So I figures that I would share some of the 300+ pics that I took. The ones I've put up are mainly of our members.

[JoeT]

Nice photos... Looks like my suspension setup was a bit too soft in the front for that track.. Hummmmmm The rear still lifted..

[AndrewR]

Quite the camber too.

I have some lean too.... hmm..

[BryceD]

Some great action shots there. Those cones saw a lot of action (especially in Run #1 :) )

[Sir-knight]

any of me and my #140? :D

Peter Reilly will be please to hear that you're coming for EVEN STIFFER springs. :hammer:

Where was your valving at? I had my front compression 15 clicks from full hard, rear 12 clicks from full hard (30 to 40 clicks available depending on the corner.) Rebound was 22 clicks from full hard (38 clicks available)

But was it squatting? Can't tell from that photo.

[AndrewR]

Not under throttle at that point, so, that should be some droop.... erm. ugh.

[Maurizio]

Sorry Allen, But it seems that I missed your car. When Im out again with the camera, remind me and I will make sure I get photos of you.


Glad you guys are enjoying the photos

Nice pics, any of my car? #67

[dubya_rx]

Hey, "Big Poppa",
Can you send me a high res version of the 914?

Thanks!

[JoeT]

The night before I softened the compression 2 clicks for street driving. Due to rust in the brain, I forgot to reset it back for competition driving. I even forgot the rear shock settings.. LOL

People told me it bounced so I adjusted the rears, and under normal conditions, I would have remembered to adjust the fronts as well. Oh well...

Next time..

Mau takes fantastic pictures...

[AndrewR]

LOL.. My first 2 runs were full soft on my struts..

Rusty, yeah.

[Maurizio]

Here you go Mike. I made sure the driver had his wooden helmet on :-)

[mikewolf]

Thanks. The colour in those pics is really nice.

[kreutz73]

Nice pics!

you even got one of Tashko pointing the right direction. :lol:

[tashko]

Bastard...yeah, I did have a *bit* of trouble.

I started thinking that maybe I should've been a student at the school last weekend. Some atrocious driving on display by moi for sure. :oops:

If there's an event this weekend I might show up to get some practice in. I need to figure out how to turn the steering wheel with those balloons on the car. :hammer:

[pilon_01]

[Maurizio]

It wasn't that slow... you almost won D-Stock, but you registered wrong! :strangle:

Does anyone else think that this car looks like Zorro?

Rob calmly demonstrates how to execute a 3-point turn... in a turn.

Looks like I didn't have my dampening as stiff as it needed to be either. Trail braking transfers a brutal amount of weight to the outside front tire.


Thanks for the photos, Wes! I love looking at the chassis dynamics!

[Sir-knight]

do you hear something?

[MikeV]

No problem Mau. Thanks for the photos Wes.

Wow stock suspension, I think I need an "I" & "M" so I can rearrange the letters on the back to say "IMABUS".

Hey, there's still one left on my car's chin... how did that happen?

All things considered, that's a pretty good ratio. 7 cones slaughtered that run, one under the car until the back straight, and none left at the stop box.

[Sir-knight]

that beats my 4 in PEI but those 4 were intentional to save the run... and I had 3 with me :oops:

[tashko]

Somebody remind me to bring my camera next time.

Here's the morning cruise to DDT, we had about a dozen cars:

...and who do we run into getting his car all prettied up...SteveD

[dubya_rx]

More pics! (not by me)

[Sir-knight]

of all the spots I didn't hit a cone... he has to be RIGHT there... :P

also... wait a tick... I'm not even anywhere near it and it's flying ;)

[nitrowsb]

Almost every picture of my car is "smoking" :muaha: :muaha:

Ya, the vids show you locking up your brakes.. Lots of tire smoke... Someone tell your tires that smoking shortens life.. LOL :lol:

[nitrowsb]

That's ok...I get them cheap anyways ;-) besides, ABS from 1993 isn't that great!
