let me ask you a question... what are the marks on tires?

[NegatiZE]

The marks are to see how much the tire is rolling over onto the sidewall during hard cornering. I can adjust the tire pressure accordingly.

That would be my friend Jon who's in our little car club. He got really into autocrossing a few months ago and hasn't gotten a car yet, so the Explorer is what he's driving. Let's just say he took it 'carefully' through the course.

The blue tape is in case I tap a cone. I'm glad I put it on there because I did hit one almost head on when I messed up in the slalom on one of my runs.

I usually put blue tape around the wheel wells to protect the paint from little rocks flying up from the road, but my car was really dirty since it had just rained. The track surface is pretty sandy and dirty. The tape really helps.

Damn an Explorer doing auto x, now that is just too damn funny. How did you do in this event?

Not the best I've done...thats for sure. The course this month was less curves and more straightaways. With the 1.6, I was stuck in second...slooowwwlllly accelerating to the finish line.

I managed a 70.xxx in STS. 1st place in STS was my friend Chris w/ his Celica (67.xxx). Fastest time of day was 60.xxx seconds I believe.

60+seconds. that's a nice long course. I wanted to drive up but $$$ was a factor
