Limerock Auto-X

[SNKBYT]

Is the Auto-X and skid pad event still on the Schedule for July 11th? This is an awesome event with that allows us to really push our cars and get a feel for them in a safe setting! Maybe adding a little cone rubber like I did!

[SlateEd]

Hey Tim, Thanks for posting up! I was just about to start this thread myself :-)



PAYMENT/REGISTRATION IS OPEN for Autocross and SkidPad at Lime Rock

http://www.nyctvoa.org/autocross-2015.html


Saturday July 11, 2015. We have the infield for the whole day, 9-5.
We are expecting a great turnout this year, and we will "sell out" at 36 drivers so don't wait to sign up!

No helmet required, no harness, fire suppression, parachutes or roll-cages... Just push the car to your own limits in a safe and fun environment. This is the most practical performance education you can get in a Viper and it's FUN!!!

Lime Rock Park's Autocross course is not cones in a parking lot - it's really a miniature road course. Imagine a sequence of highway on-ramps and off-ramps right after one another with no traffic to slow you down and no police to watch out for. It's great for beginner, intermediate and advanced drivers.

Lime Rock Park hosts its own AutoX days and the price is nearly double our VOA Member price.

The area is beautiful, and spectators are FREE - so bring the family.

Ed, I'm in , it's a great event. Tim will be easy to beat this year!

He'll be tired after his long ride. Tony won't even be in the running.

It's true, red is the fastest!


Dennis

[SNKBYT]

And the driver is even slower!! I'm going to get some more help and tips from ACR Steve!!

Tim you proved last year that gray is fastest! it wouldn't be the same without you, and you should bring whichever car you want... as long as it's gray :-)

Silver is grey's illegitimate brother. Lol

[SlateEd]

Silver is grey's illegitimate brother. Lol

haha... if we call it Team GrayScale then I think Silver is IN.... technically White would be IN too so we get ACRSteve... I think the case is building against both Red and Yellow
:p0257:

Silver is grey's illegitimate brother. Lol

My money is on you this year. :D

[SlateEd]

Quick bump before the busy weekend -

Remember spectators are FREE so if you want to come check it out you're welcome to.. be warned, you'll probably want to drive on track once you see it in person!
And VOA Members from ALL regions get the member price, not just NY/CT.

okay, carry on with the smack-talking

I admire Dennis. His goal for the AutoX this year is move up to 177th place from from 178th place. As for me, I'm just happy to be there watching white lightning drive his blow up doll passenger around the track. :D I think Bernie is going to take it this year, don't underestimate him.

[pony23]

Damn, Dennis means business.

I am going to have the biggest comeback ever!!!!!!!!!!! Eye of the tiger.

As I understand it, there are secret weapons being installed in garages all around our region... everyone's got the bug

I have no doubts much money has been invested in slicks, big brake kits, superchargers, aero, anti-pucker seat cushions, shocks. etc. But I get a chuckle when someone in a stock Gen 1 or stock ACR runs circles around those "secret weapons". No substitute for driver skill...right Dennis? :t0152:

[pony23]

My secret weapon is Steve driving the car!!!!! Lol

[ACR Steve]

Forget me its Tim you guys want to drive. He forcing me to bring up some secret weapons this year :)
This year we will have a new awards system .......it will be fun for everyone



In all honesty if you are on the fence about signing up PLEASE DO IT I promise it will be one of the best experiences you ever had driving your Viper and 100% safe

[SNKBYT]

Steve, What's your secret weapon. Are you not going to coach me this year? I,m listening to my new coach, Dennis. !!

[ACR Steve]

Dennis this is your year baby .......... :) although you will have to get through Big Bill first he is bringing a secret weapon for his Viper this year

[SlateEd]

The List is growing folks - for the number of people who told me they are coming but haven't officially signed up/paid we are going to sell out!

So here's the deal - it's a race to sign up before we sell out and I'm going to extend the lower price window through the end of the day July 3.

Get those payments in before the morning of 7/4 so your spot is reserved, and get in on the smack talking! :drive:

[ViperTony]

Dennis this is your year baby .......... :) although you will have to get through Big Bill first he is bringing a secret weapon for his Viper this year

Whoah, whoah, whoah!!!! Nobody told me that, until now, Big Bill was coming. Screw that we don't have a chance with Bill there. I want my money back. Game over man, game over! ;)

[SlateEd]

Whoah, whoah, whoah!!!! Nobody told me that, until now, Big Bill was coming. Screw that we don't have a chance with Bill there. I want my money back. Game over man, game over! ;)

That's IMPRESSIVE!

Nice job Ed and Steve!

Thanks Scott - We actually had a few Cash-In-Hand additions, 38 drivers, and still got tons of seat time on the day... I think many folks were getting tired!

Everyone got quicker through the day and all the cars/drivers left without a scratch... maybe some mud from the skid pad:)

Seriously, thank you to everyone who came out for this!! Terrific group and great teamwork makes a really fun and productive day!

[ViperTony]

Ed/Steve/Courtney.....EXCELLENT job!!! By far the best autocross yet and you guys have grown this to encompass not just NY/CT but surrounding regions. I had a blast yesterday. Everything ran very smooth and even with 38 drivers we had PLENTY of seat time!

[Just A Dream]

It was so great to get out and see you guys. Another incredible event. And to top it off my son for his first time was able to drive my Viper. It was a very special day for him and being here and able to see it was very emotional for me. Thank you Bill for taking the time with him on track. Thank you Ed ,Steve,Cortny, for making this possible. It was great to be there.

See you all soon
Russ

[Viper Wizard]

Thank you Ed, Courtney & Steve! Great day for sure!! :dude3:
Good to see you Russ and glad your doing better!

Looking for times & pictures......what was that about red......:drive:

[Rosie]

I`m sorry to have missed this event,you had a great turn out.So who took home the bragging rights there was alot of trash -talking going before the event.I just watched Allen Johnson win his first event of the year for Mopar in NHRA drag-racing just wondering if it was Big D. (Dennis) or Viper Tony or ACR Steve or the Wizard or Tim?Glad to hear everyone had a great time nice job Ed and Courtney.

[SNKBYT]

Thanks to Ed, Courtney, and Steve, and everyone else who helped make the Auto-x event a great time. Speaking of great times, Steve showed every viper driver how it is done. Breaking and setting a new track record!! Only to be edged out by a full race track prepped car!! Great driving Steve. And Slow Red Chuck, the Wizard, Tator schooled all other vipers in his Gen 1 viper!! Great job Chuck. I might have to add another Red Stripe to my car!!

[thetalonguy]

A big thanks to Ed, Courtney and Steve for putting on an amazing event on Saturday!! It was a perfect day for tearing up the course.

As previously mentioned, even with the large number of participants, everyone had plenty of seat time. Running 3 on the course at once in different skill groups worked perfectly. I think I was able to get at least 6 passes on the extended course. I bet a lot of people improved their confidence in their snakehandling.

Everyone was safe, no one broke done and everyone had a blast. Can we do it again next week?!:)

I have some videos that I need to upload this week.

Here's a pic of our parting gift, which will be prominently displayed in my office.

[analogmike]

Great event, thanks for letting me compete in my vintage 911. I wanted to qualify for the LRP year end event.
Maybe I'll bring my GTS next year.
Enjoyed meeting you all!!

Here's a video on FaceBook, our cars were pretty much dead even in both timed runs.

https://www.facebook.com/tamara.r.lacey/videos/10204315039266066/

[ViperTony]

Chuck, what are the specs on those slicks you ran? I'm going to look into these. How much did they drop your time from last year? I couldn't believe how gummy they are but seem like a great tire for the track.

Great Job everyone. Big thanks to Ed and Courtney as always going above and beyond to make the event a great success.

What a great event and a sellout + ........ 38 cars and every car went home the way it came (ok maybe a little dirtier) way to go everyone. (always priority 1 for me)

Even Jeff from Lime Rock commented on how great a club we are. It was also mentioned that we are the best overall driving club up there 

Was it just me or did the chicane feel much tighter this year?

Hopefully it gave everyone a little taste of how great our cars really are. At speed on a track whether big or small they are very rewarding cars to drive and are actually very predictable when driven on the right line.

You guys are the best



P.S Russ I had a tear in my eye when I looked over and you were there. Great to see you my friend . That made my day right there .

Mike you know I am also a Porsche guy and you are a buddy so I am not licking my wounds to much however you also know how competitive I am. You better come prepared at the shootout for war my friend 

You know it! My car was a drifter in the 1st session, after changing rear tires, pressures, and shock settings I got the rear hooked up... TOO GOOD and it was pushing in the timed runs. Looking forward to a great battle!!! If you are too fast I could bring the GT3 cup ;)

Had an awesome time. The setup was much better this year. Got plenty of seat time and practice. Great job to everyone who helped out and put this together.

I took some action pics between sessions. I will post them up later this week.

[SlateEd]

Thank all who posted kudos - but seriously the credit is shared with everyone who participates!!! Getting out there to try this with a Viper is such a great move and your fellow members make it happen for each other with the participation. Glad everyone is fired up about it and I'm confident next year with sell out too :)

Red didn't turn out to be fastest, but most plentiful made for an awesome picture

True on both points!

... and while we're splitting hairs, #TeamGrayScale took both first and second place on street tires :-)

I've been swamped since getting home Saturday night but will try to compile the full list of times later today so everyone can hyper-analyze further :-)

In the meantime - everyone go sign yourselves up for the Hamptons cruise this coming Sunday 7/19 :drive:

Here's the info on my tires if someone wants super fast cheap track (not street legal) tires.
Used one or two sessions on a 911 GT3 cup, I prefer the taller RSR 710 tires on the HEAVY 911 rear, so pulled these off.

Pirelli Slicks, rears about 325/680/18, works great on 13" rims.
Fronts 285/645/18, 10" or 11" rim

Cost over $2000, will take $400. Located in Danbury, CT area.

[ACR Steve]

great deal Mike wish I could use them but I have 19's in rear

[thetalonguy]

I uploaded some of my videos to Youtube. Mostly of my runs, but there's a good one of Steve, Tim and Ed running a hot lap together.

Lime Rock lists the names by the event so that's why you're listed with NYCT. But, YES - we're cross-honoring memberships haha You and Tim and Dylan earned honorary NYCT status

Awesome!

Hey Chuck I bet you have some spare 18" rims around, let me know if you want to try some Slicks on old red. Have the Pirellis above and some older Michelins that would be free if you want them (taller rears though, 710mm diameter).

I heard from Jeff at Lime Rock that we'll be running the big course, like we did in practice :)

I will have my spare rims and tires for sale today if somebody wants them. Viper Six spoke powder coated with Hoosier A6s on them. The tires and wheels that I set my times on. My ACR is sold to Baz so they are available.

[analogmike]

Sold the ACR?!? Must be looking forward to the new one!!

What will you bring, your wagon again or a GT3 cup??? Maybe a cup vs cup battle?

[ACR Steve]

Mike- ACR is sold leaves me with the wagon or Cup car . Unless my new Viper comes in before. Not sure how our Cup cars will do on this tiny track

[SNKBYT]

Hey Steve, your welcome to put your tires on my car and drive it.. !! That would be a fast combination!!!

[ACR Steve]

Tim very nice of you my friend. That's a great offer and really appreciate it. Your car is amazing. That's why this club is so great :)

Lets see what happens with the new car . I may just take the race car still up in the air .Still 3.5 weeks out

[SNKBYT]

Hey Steve, did your new car arrive yet? What are you driving on Saturday? My car is still available!

[ACR Steve]

Tim,
New car is in my garage unfortunately I have not driven it, my wife badly burned her feet in a freak accident . She has been in the hospital for the 2 weeks since I got the car and will be in there another week at least. So I haven't even driven it . I had to pull out of the event on Saturday between my kids and seeing my wife in the hospital there is no way I can attend. I really appreciate the offer though :)

I will look forward to next years event

Wow Steve, that's terrible to hear. Praying for a speedy recovery!

[ACR Steve]

Thanks a lot Matt

Tim and Chuck best of luck . Rumor is they may time to full course and not the lower layout. That should help out the Vipers some.

Steve,

Sorry to hear that, burns are terrible and I have been told that foot burns are very bad, which is why we wear nomex socks and really good fireproof racing shoes.

You will certainly be missed, I hope you can make it somehow, good luck to your family!

Steve, thoughts and prayers for you and your wife!

for anyone who is thinking about cheering on Chuck and Tim and Mike -

11:30 a.m.: Arrival
12:00 noon: Practice
2:30 p.m.: Timed runs on a debate-free electronic timing system.

Lime Rock welcomes spectators. I will probably leave Westchester around 10am. If anyone has interest in cruising up together let me know

Steve, I,m really sorry to hear about your wife's accident. I hope she is doing better and makes a full recovery.

I commend you for letting the new car sit until all is well. We all would be "chomping at the bit" to drive a new viper sitting in the garage. We could break it in for you!!!! LOL

Chuck and I will have to put our best foot forward, to the metal, and hold up the viper reputation! Take care. Hope to see you and the new beast soon. Tim

Speedy recovery for your wife Steve! Send her our best from the club!

Looks like I'll be chasing Mike and Tim can still chase me! :D

Thanks everyone its been really tough for her but it could have always been worse

One of you guys better win , good luck and remember go back to throttle before your mind says too. Even if its only partial NO coasting anywhere . Brake and/or throttle at all times everywhere on track :)

Steve,

Wishing your wife a quick recovery. Sorry to hear about the accident.

Mike & Melissa

[viperjimmy]

Hope your wife is well soon.

[00VPRGTS]

Well....how did you guys do yesterday?

[ACR Steve]

Thanks everyone :)

Big congrats to Chuck and Tim and Mike! (and Steve)
we had 4 of the top 20, which is outstanding since we don't live there all summer like the Miata crowd.

AxIS ran the full course, bottom and top.... backwards! Running it backwards created a line with only one strait and some gnarly off-camber spots.

Mike, Tim and Chuck grabbed 5, 11, 13. If you take out the Formula Ford, that would be 2, 8, 10 - Great job guys!

here's the time sheet: 13806

Awesome job guys!!!


Steve, hope your wife is better.

[00VPRGTS]

Awesome job guys! I need to work on getting to the finals next year.

[thetalonguy]

Great job guys! Way to represent Team Viper.

[ViperTony]

I'm not surprised, we have a talented team! Great work guys!!!! You make us proud!!
