    TMO Member comes to the rescue of another -- both trophy at the SCCA Solo Spring Nationals!!!

    Yes, were you the guy whose GoPro charger I took and marked up? If so, I'm happy to swap with my clean one of the same model I think. I'm still feeling horrible about that.That MiDiv event was so cold... I couldn't get heat into the tires at all. Spring Nats we had the opposite problem.

    TMO Member comes to the rescue of another -- both trophy at the SCCA Solo Spring Nationals!!!

    To add a little bit, Emery was planning on running the Pro in the Seaton CAMT Stang but took my car and just friggn won it all in S3! He laid down a killer 47.X run that Sam couldn't match and backed it up again with a lower 47.X run although with a cone. Still good enough to take the win and a...

    S197 Help with Autocross driving

    Looking ahead is an indication that you're doing it right but driving ahead is the real key. The most telling thing is the happy throttle foot especially in the slalom. You want to be much smoother on the gas, brake and steering - then work on getting the speed up while staying on line. Tight...

    TMO Drivers take First and Second at the Nebraska Region's 3rd Autocross Event!

    Thanks again Bill. I'm really looking forward to Spring Nats although I'm only hoping to get into the trophy spots there. Here's the in-car from yesterday. I'm slowing down in some places where I shouldn't (after the first slalom, during the big RH sweeper, etc) and too much in places where I...

    TMO Members kick butt at Nebraska Region SSCA Solo Event #2

    Thanks Bill, it was fun having you announce our heat. I tried to listen to some of it but between runs I was busy trying to keep even just a little bit of warmth in the tires using the blankets and a fence to block the cold north wind. I don't know if it helped much or not but may as well try...

    Autocross setup (B, D and F street guys help me out)

    Sorry for not seeing this until now. I'm running in BS, '20 GT350 with Magneride and a BMR front bar on soft most of the time. I was on RE71s for this year, switching to 660s next year and looking forward to it based on what I've seen and felt in other cars with them.I'm running 3.0 camber...

    GT350 Rear Caliper Removal

    Although I love collecting tools and I know there's nothing better then the right tool for the job... the cheap guy in me got this done using a zip tie to compress and hold the spring.

    Driving to an event on RE-71r?

    RE71's are fine for driving to/from events. I'm one of those guys Bill's talking about. The only issue I've had is if you run into rain like I did on the way back from Topeka last Sunday. Spent about 15 minutes under an overpass waiting for the hail storm to move along and there was still enough...

    Thanks Bill, it was great to catch up with you again. I'm still knocking the rust off but happy to recognize some of the instincts are still there. Lincoln was the first time autocrossing Max and I'm really happy with the setup right out of the box.HMP was very smooth and not abrasive at all...
