What I Learned At Autocross Today – Corvette #1 2006
1. We need an autocross physical fitness program. Several people commented how out of shape they were after walking the course. But then, when was the last time you saw a Solo II course in Ontario almost a mile long ?
2. The course was sooo long (How long was it!) The course was so long, I was wishing I had an open-faced helmet so I could light a smoke during the run.
3. The course was sooo long (How long was it!) The course was so long, there was a danger of witnessing the very first fuel mileage event in Solo II.
4. After marshalling at a CCC event, you should be allowed another course walk. The secret is to run a really low or really high number.
5. Hyper-caffeinated, over-priced, Euro-trash beverage goes in; pure, Canadian urine comes out. Several times an hour. Circle of life, baby! For the love of dead Irish poets, can’t someone hosting a Bronte event secure a port-a-potty sponsor? Adult diapers at the very least? :)
6. Cleaning your glasses (including the polarized clip-ons) is good for a second. Except this time, it was good for a second the bad way. :mad:
7. I was using my first few runs to burn my fuel load, preparing for my hot lap. I just lost count of how many runs we’d done. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
8. You know you’re getting old when you get faster runs from listening to Alan Jackson and Loretta Lynn than Dead Kennedys and Sex Pistols. In other news, I may be bipolar…
9. Klownie has an uncanny facility for detecting monkeys in other people’s cars.
10. My car is obviously haunted by a seat-position changing poltergeist.
11. Rav has road rage while on grid. Typical Honda driver. :p
12. The sounds of camber bolts in motion only three days after a wheel alignment make (insert name of non-denominational infant or other object representative of your personal belief system here) cry.
