Excellent. You're in. I think you'll find autocrossing very addictive.

I'm most likely in for the Auto-x, as long as my car is reliable by then.

Hey me too. mine was a 88 GXL, then i did a Turbo Jspec swap and threw some 17" 350Z wheels on it, i just hope if i wreck drifting at carlisle its a good one because then your just a hero (not to mention the 240 guys can laugh at the rotory guy who tasted the wall.)

You could be like the white 240 last year...Marc Razzo (I thinkthat was the spelling) and have you wheel come off.

LOL. I understand Marc is coming again this year, as well as the Drift truck.They were a lot of fun to watch.

Not to get off topic but anybody want to buy my Z wheels? they are the 17" 7 spoke touring version. have 2 good tires on them and still have the speed sensors. Also i saw that guy with the drift truck at NOPI last year it was sick!

Im hoping to make it with my 86 corvette, I didnt know my rollcage was made to order so its suppose to show up about a week before carlisle, its bolt in though so hopefully I can have it in in time.

Post by **Automato** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 4:20 pm

Sign me up as well. I will hopefully be coming down with a few school buddies from Rochester, NY and have all my wheel/tire and sway bars in by then.

Does anyone know if they still do the practices at Beaverun? I would really like to get the change to ride around with one of them and/or learn from them.

Metman2J, did you locate a helmet?

I thought I did, but it's not approved. I don't think I should try running my car until I get better tires and get my suspension straightened out.

But, finances are kind tight right now because I'm going to be paying $195/week for daycare starting the week of the show.

So according to the official Carlisle site they state that Jason Ellis will be drifting... not to be stupid or lazy (I could probably look it up) but who the Eff is Jason Ellis?

Jason Ellis is an Australian professional skateboarder, tv commentator for the X-Games, lead vocal for a rock band (Taint Stick), martial arts expert, and hosts a Sirius radio show. And he does drifting.

I'm told Jason's bringing two friends, but I'm not sure who they are yet.

Hey Rotoryguy319,

I live in johnstown too and I have a 13bt series 5 sitting in my garage if you wanna drop that in your rx7 before the event we have a month so i figure we could get it tuned before you head down...we could even convoy down if you want! Let me know

Hey I heard we sign up for the event on here somehow... Gave up on the ka24 sohc t3/t4 currently dropping in a sr20 blacktop with a few mods t25 (baby turbo) and would like to take it

Rx7 Guy lets get the car of yours some boost

Hey guys count me in for the autocross as well. I met some of you last year, and we all had a blast autoxing for our first time.

OUCH

syracuse is 4.0 hours 25 minutesTotal Estimated Distance: 269.50 miles

We managed to make it back in about 3 hours 10 minutes last year. The drive down and back is one of the funnest parts of the show, especially when you do it with 10-20 cars

last year we saw a total of 1 cop from here to there and back, although i doubt we'll get that lucky again
