Probably won't get stickied over here. Seems to be alota "hardcore types" that are more into the "techie-ness" of it all.

I like it all I suppose, so I like to see pictures of people using their car after they've spent some time under it.

BULLITT1992 · 12-25-2008, 11:38 AM

Pics from my 1st and 2nd autocross event. 100% Stock 130k+ suspension.

Moving Target · 12-25-2008, 12:07 PM

How about dem apples.

No, it's not mine it was just some guy that showed up at one of the club events. He and his co-driver had a good time even so...

2k2GT · 12-25-2008, 12:10 PM

Wow, look at that positive camber!

Wow! That Bullit has 130+ thousand miles on it!!!!

Cool!!!! Drive it!!

Found an older video of mine...i'm sure it's before I put the stiffer springs and dampers on the car.

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/f...0001617887.htm

This was always a fun event....till they turned into a dirt track.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...90604423655889

Short little "exhibition" autocross for a yearly event down here called "Run Through The Hills" I was on some take-off CUP tires....man, I couldn't get heat in those things for nothing. They were free, though...can't bitch too much. 245's

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF-EgOyPiec

This was also at that RTTH event, where the guys from PROTOURING and MUSCLERIDES.com came down. I got to drive/race this pimptastic paddle shifted 68 Camaro with a 4XX cub'd small block. Thing was wicked and a handful on regular Nitto NT555 tires. Still handled great and was a smile machine. You can tell it's me by my awesome dirtbike helmet.

Kinda nervous drivin' that thing. At the time, I was living a house that cost pretty much the same as that car I was hammering around a track with a wall.

A little stretch from my usual crapwagon I drive.

Dave, what the hell was going on in that pic!?!?

tigerdrvr · 12-25-2008, 04:59 PM

Dave, that is an amazing shot of the CP car grenading...

Sideways is slow, my avatar pic. It is kind of cool to see a F Stock car paintin' it, though...

This is on the concrete at Atwater...lots of roll over on the tires, 295 A6 on 8.5" rim. I had to take pressures up to save the sidewalls, that day.

Left front lower control arm broke on entry to that corner. Ran over wheel causing car to jump in the air and somehow a guy shooting pictures caught the car in the air, with the LF wheel kinda back where it belongs.

Cool picture. Too bad it bent the frame on the car when it landed.

DaveW

2k2GT · 12-25-2008, 05:07 PM

Who made the control arm?

DaveW · 12-25-2008, 05:11 PM

I did. I underestimated the twist force present from the small area of real estate (too narrow of a triangle)and didn't build them strong enough for thier size.

Won't do that again.

Sure does. At that point I was still on the stock shocks/struts. I bought the car with around 129-130 on the clock. Normally I wouldn't buy something with that kind of mileage, especially something with the potential of being ragged out, but one look at the condition of the car in and out let me know that it had been treated well. The leather seats look as good as my Accord that has less than 6k on it.

Let's keep the lag time down on this thread, try not to quote the entire post of pics.

Just my thoughts..

The tire is way too wide for the rim. The car will handle better when the thread width matches the rim width.

Isn't the 285 or 295 the current "hot" setup for Shelby's in AutoX? Granted not much National level testing has been happening on concrete the past few years.

Isn't that being ran on an 8.5" wheel? I know that is way outside the norm for what you would run on the street or track but autox is a slightly different animal. Seems like it is working pretty well so far.

Some really nice pics so far. I wonder how long it will take Sam to post up some of his shots?

I guess I've been around stock class autocross too much. It looks fine to me.
