Carlisle Aftermath

[AppleBonker]

Hey, someone did manage to snap at least one pic of my car =P (or half of my car)

I'm fairly certain I have some of you on the track. But those would be from my nikon and I believe there are about 500-600 pics on there I need to go through. Too tired to hit that last night, but hopefully by tonight I'll have something for you.

[Bubba1]

My parents wouldnt let me. I didnt even know who you guys were, you didnt introduce yourselves

it works both ways there chief.

I didn't know half of the people who were there, had to ask who they were.

Does anyone know the name of the guy who rod knocked the G35 on the track? He looked like he was about to go on a mad killing spree afterwards.

That was Mike from Whiplash (featured drifter). His drift truck has mechanical ailments so he jumped into his DD and went out for a run.

It was great seeing a bunch of you guys again, and meeting new people.

There was so much going on and so much ridiculous-ness I don't even know where to start...Besides saying thank you to Greg/Bubba for all they do, among the other moderators and volunteers who make it all possible!

[OutToWinPAHC]

Nice to have seen you again Devil

[DevilMB3017]

tl;dr warning:

Floating Point (wrong spelling I know) was an awesome driver and a better dude to meet. Naladude was more normal then I expected - he's just socially awkward, not really retarded. (PS, you met a lot of people.) James (papasmurf) and Torry know how to abuse the s*** out of a rental car. James was doing reverse donuts and j-turns. We're all standing around... "Why's he going in reverse?... Ohhhhh". S13 seats are more comfortable outside on the ground then in the car. I swapped seats at the event - Becky sat on one for like 3 hours I think. OutToWinPAHC's car is an animal. Absolutely insane. He's a decent griller to boot. People don't want a greasy a** - especially when Greg is threating to hit them with a spatula. Torry is, at the same time never drunk enough or sober enough. Double fisting beers became a requirement... Upon being yelled at about the two beer at a time minimum we employed Torry instantly said screamed out he was sorry and needed another beer and I think it was Tita went right for another beer in about 2 milliseconds. We can drink a lot, also bathtubs can hold a lot of beer. Ray (Frapjap) is slightly funnier in real like then his NICO posts, which is quite the accomplishment, another awesome guy I meant for the first time. Loki was a fun guy to hang out with yet again, and really drove a lot this year and well. There were many more people I met, especially from the Learn'd Crew that I just really don't remember well right now, sorry. But everyone was great, fun people.

I was mad that the horse shoes never happened, then again I'm fairly certain Ray would have knocked someone in the head with one of them

I think it's safe to say that a lot of stuff got pee'd on this weekend, happily I was not one of those things... sadly I don't think any girls got pee'd on either.

[numbnuts240]

that wasn't tire shine on that van...

[Bubba1]

that wasn't tire shine on that van...

I noiced Nala's SUV had pretty shiny tires too....

[OutToWinPAHC]

And horrible break squeal? Tito lol the random calling of whores. " So, are we f***ing?", "click"

And to quote myself.....
Me : dials 0
Front desk : Front desk, this is Kevin
Me : Hey Kevin this is also Kevin, I have an off the wall question for you
Front Desk : Okay, shoot
Me : Where can I get some hookers this time of night
Front Desk: This is Mechanicsburg, but we don't have that around here (click)

If it didn't happen last year, it wouldn't have this year. I mean, James was smart enough to yell duck last time...

I was thankful to take a couple laps in that car. You are an amazing driver.

Don't have any of you running, but I have some nice stills of it.

I really didn't take that many photos for some reason.
I'll upload them tonight or tomorrow

No pics of me! My car is in the background of when Tito met Nala though.

Jenn got a few, they are in the album i posted... heres a good one:

Wow, I've finally reached a point in life where I can finally type something coherent w/out having to re-read it 10 times and make corrections. I didn't do a very good job of taking care of myself this weekend so I've been paying the price since I got back. Anyway...

This was my first forum meet ever (of any forum I've been on) where I didn't know just about everyone in person already, so I had no idea what to expect. Luckily most of my time was spent in the autox paddock or on the track where I feel at home, so when I wasn't driving, I was walking around, introducing myself (I spent a good bit of time sticking my hand out and saying "Hi, I'm Jim) and immediately assisting folks with advice on how to tackle the track or how to drive (I also spent a good bit of time saying, "Your foot is either on the throttle or on the brake, no coasting").

Best parts of the weekend:
-Hanging out with Joel (Bubba) and Sean (MagikDragon) that first night. Had a few beers, and talked about track time the whole night.

-Dueling with James (Greenblurr93) was great. For the better part of Saturday, he was pushing me, I was pushing him.

-I loved giving the ride alongs. So many folks were very receptive of advice and willing to learn, it was very refreshing. Also, all of my best times were done with a passenger. The first part of Saturday morning and my installation lap on Sunday were done alone, but other than that, I cant think of a time when I wasn't having a ride along with me. It was pretty challenging trying to continuously put down lap after lap of driving where I'm really pushing while cracking jokes or giving commentary about how I'm attacking the course at that given time.

-Greg is hilarious with the megaphone. I can remember standing next to the grill or being in the staging line and hearing him rip off stuff and dying.

-Sitting at the starting line, talking about giving a ride along and saying something like "If I get a bad time, I wont blame you," and then immediately hearing, "YES HE WILL!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!" as Christine (Skydragoness) thew me under the bus.

-DevilMB3017 is easily one of my favorite folks I met there that I wasn't familiar with from the board. Just about every time the track opened for auto-x, he was out there getting valuable seat time. He was one of the first folks to come up to me and ask for a ride along and was probably the most interested in learning. I'm hoping he keeps up autocrossing, as someone with this type of zeal can only become faster. S13's are a rarity on the autocross course and it'd be nice to see more out there, especially in the Northeastern Division.

-Becky is ridiculously interesting. We probably sat in the staging line for half an hour or so awaiting her ride along and there wasn't a moment where we weren't gabbing about something. A lot of the times I find myself having to lead a conversation with folks I just met, but this was the complete opposite. The time waiting for the run flew by very quickly.

-Dinner Saturday night. I didn't drink much water that day or eat anything and I wound up getting pretty lit very quickly (because we weren't going to work on the waitresses schedule). I just remember sitting there, feeling rather drunk when all of a sudden I hear SentraStace say something along the lines of "I wish I knew what everyone here did for a living". Sounded like a good idea to me at the time, so I started ripping right into it. Here is what I recall:

Jim, you were, without a doubt, the most informative person I met all weekend. It was awesome talking to you, which I did a lot. Tires, techniques, NO COASTING! I am positive I will run into you shortly since I am so close.

[krimsonviper]

No coasting?

[93coupe]

You're either on the gas or on the brake. NO COASTING!

[krimsonviper]

I understand the no coasting statement, my question is, why? Are we talking about for racing?

[93coupe]

Exactly.

[krimsonviper]

Roger roger! I thought we were talking about regular driving and I was going to ask you guys of what I heard was true or not.

[nissangirl74]

Adam comes in with the straight facts. f*** her. Racistface.

f*** a bunch of racists. i think you're beautiful.
