Yay I'm off work!! I'll come watch & ride with random peeps!!

 

And drive too! The cones miss your box!

 

That sounds EXACTLY how the weather report for VIR sounded.

Good luck.

 

LOL nah, I was on the internets about 3 times a day at VIR and knew how everything was gonna turn out... by Friday.

Plus VIR is in a black hole of weather wierdness. VMP isn't. Except for that one day with the wind.

I know on friday it said showers friday night, sunny on saturday and sunday.

I woke up saturday morning and it was wet and overcast

 

That system was def. late coming in. Saturday I was ok with, it's Sunday that sucked (as you know.)

ps- www.noaa.gov has the best VIR forecasts of all

 

WEll then I'll bookmark that for when I get my car fixed and can go back.

 

You're still talking about that? 5 days later? You could've had another shell ready by now.

Actually I know exactly where you're at, I was still sad about stuffing my E30 at Summit Point for a long time afterward... certainly didn't help that it took ~3 months to part it out and dispose of the carcass...

Anyway, this thread is about nice fluffy fun NASA autocrossing at VMP. Where the speeds are much lower and there's much less to hit!

Jon

 

lol yeah yeah I know I should have already had another car built and ready to go in this time! lol.

I'm still waiting on someone to come by and look at it to see if it can be saved or if I need to find a shell to swap everything too. I'm lazy so I wanna do as little work as possible, I just want it to be fixed so I can have fun with it

But yeah, autocrosses are much less apt to cause bodywork problems haha.
