SHO Auto X Devens This weekend!!

[Murphy2012]

Alright, the date on the neshoc.com website says Saturday May 4th...well may 4th is a sunday. If anyone wants to go down, I might just to get some seat time. It doesnt seem like a super fun track, but its a lot longer and would be different than the SCCNH ones....and again, more seat time. The link for the map is here. http://www.oosterman.org/autox/70922%20NESHOC-BSCC%20AutoX%20Course%20Map.jpg

I have been wanting to go to one of these for a long time. The trip to Devens is crazy long though. And the roads that lead there are terriBLE.

[Murphy2012]

Ayer is only like an hour and a half from me...

[Nate8409]

Last time I checked it was closer to two hours from my place to there.

[scans007]

That's my b-day.....opening softball day also.......grrrrrr.

And it's damn close to me, this sucks why'd you have to post this.......:lol:

[Nate8409]

Who cares. Birthday or not you should go!

[jonny-rockets]

could be considered a present to yourself....

[scans007]

^ that's what I said to get away with the jam packed day I already setup....:D

[Nate8409]

I will think about going to this one. I am going to try to install my 6 speed this week so it wont be ready by then unless I put a ton of miles on it in between now and then to seat the clutch and flywheel properly.

[Skidder]

That looks like fun... do you know how much it costs?

[Robk0000]

devens is usually, not alot of seat time. Alot of watching time, there are always 100+ cars that show up, the courses there are ****ing amazing, 1,30-2,30 mins each run. Then you wait half hour to go again, 4 runs max per event which sucked last year. although the weather will be ****ty so it might not be to bad.

think its 40 as well

[Nate8409]

Screw it. I am going to the SCCA one in Loudon Sunday. See you there Rob... Anyone else?

[Robk0000]

i am probably not going to go, i have alotta **** to do at home right now, and the weather is not cooperating.

[Skidder]

I'll be going to the NER SCCA event at NHIS if its not raining too hard.

I saw a video of someone running last years devens course and it looks annoying... 2+ minuets of slalom doesn't look like my cup of tea.

[Robk0000]

yeah, they do have alot of slaloms, although some of the events are fast, topping out 2nd in my car means u guys are going over 60 at some points.

but if its going to rain, it will suck.

Same here. I wanted to do my parking brake today. Finish fixing the Sentra. Some GTA4 etc etc etc.

Good Slalom practice. You gain a lot of time when you get good at slaloms.

So I ended up stopping by the NER SCCA autox... they had a really nice simple course and some really nice drivers; they were getting tons of runs too.

[Nate8409]

Sweet. I almost went but was going to fix the Subaru parking brake. Too bad it rained like hell all day so I didn't.

FYI it is fixed now and those custom shoes I had made work great!

[Robk0000]

Nice, they recieved mine yesterday, maybe i will have them back by next weekend. Did you put them on Brembo Rotors or did u go with another brand? I think i told them to do mine to 190mm.

[Nate8409]

Ummm the guy I talked to Tim was helpfut about it. He told me that he had both the measurements on file for the STI parking brake shoes and the WRX model. If you just tell him to reference that stuff that is all you need to do.

At first I had measurements but then later he had that book.

You should tell him that a previous customer had them done and they work fine.

I am using DBA rotors in the rear but it makes no difference on the inside diameter.

[Robk0000]

yeah, i told them to make it the size of an 04 Sti which they had on record.
