Thats a really cool video. I have always wanted to try autox, but I dont know if a front heavy VR is the best for it. Plus I dont want to be the idiot messing up and doing the course all wrong.

No one cares about the mess ups, we all remember what it is like to be new to it and we all still mess up too from time to time. I have never ever heard anyone say anything bad about someone who goes off course, hits a load of cones or whatever. The best thing to do is partner with an experienced person for your first few rides..ride with them and they can ride with you.

As for front heavy well, my TDi (same weight as the VR6) took first in the Western Canadian Championship. One guy from Edmonton did really well in his Mk3 VR6 too.

Sounds good. How often do you and Bart go? every friday? I really would love to do it.... and I think it would really improve my driving skills. Also, how hard is it on your tires?

[bart]

Re: stickypod action!

yes race city every friday night, nothing will happen to the tires if you go a couple of times, make sure you have ~45 psi in them though.

Re: stickypod action!

45 psi..... why so high?

[Derick]

Re: stickypod action!

Haha, Trial by fire! good to see you guys put the mount to good use. Looking forward to seeing more vids before I get back (ie. Banff cruise )

How fast were you going on that back stretch btw?

[bart]

Re: stickypod action!

back stretch ~60km/h

Re: stickypod action!
