Our region has been doing a pro class for the last couple of seasons. Index based, we run together but only the first 3 runs count for class results. Any beyond 3 (we usually give 6) still count for overall index. Pronto software.

Our T&S miracle person has a spreadsheet or some other program she uses to parse the results after the event for class points and posting on the website.

However, it would be really nice to have something that was live for both the announcer and us participants so you knew where you were at.

Either a script on our live results or a phone app or ???. I feel like even I could AI something together (or goad the autocrossrank guy into it) but has anyone else done something already?

I may have turned a few heads at Street Machine Summer Nats 🤣

i'm getting ready to replace the tires on my mustang and i'm trying to find something that works well for both weekend autocross events and a few track days each year.

the car is still street driven, so i don't want something that's miserable every time i commute or get caught in the rain. at the same time, i'd rather give up a little tread life if it means better turn in, stronger braking, and grip that stays consistent after repeated runs.

i've been searching for the best track day tires, but it's hard to tell which recommendations are coming from people who actually split their time between autocross and occasional track days instead of running dedicated competition setups.

if you've found a tire that strikes a good balance, what are you running? anything you'd avoid because it overheats quickly, falls off after a few runs, or just wasn't worth the money?

I'm no warhorse racing, but in this video I talk about how corner entries can follow you positively or negatively throughout a course.

I’m about midway through my first season autocross currently and 100% agree on learning on what’s already on the car, I’m trying to get a jump start on research for what tires to buy between this season and next. 200tw is the golden standard and while budget is a bit of an issue I can splurge a bit. On my current setup I’m looking for 195/50r15, I can’t fit any wider than 195 I have maybe 5mm clearance at full lock on the inside and rub on fenders when I turn hard over a bump (they’re already rolled and pulled) 15x8 I think 35 or 38 offset. Currently on FF platform ~950kg car weight around a tonne with me in it. Currently in a stock classing with minor modifications allowed but tires are open as long as they’re DOT.
Any insight from people with some experience is greatly appreciated.
Drop some alignment tips too if you have any, current plan is -1.8 front and -0.8 rear for camber and zero toe.
Also, car is not my daily but it does see ~800km of road use monthly as I like to get it out here and there, should I worry about wearing through 200tw tires quickly?

Has anyone else driven here before? Tire Rack in South Bend , Indiana.

They say if you don’t hit the cones you aren’t trying hard enough. Have you guys ever had this one cone that you keep barely clipping? Well clipping it did some damage. And yes. I did manage to hit the cone with my mirror. The big ones hurt lol

I bought a second set of wheels off of FB marketplace to use for AutoX/track days, but they came wrapped in cheap $60 Walmart Zenna tires. The tires still have maybe 85% tread left, so I’m trying to figure out what to do before changing out to the 200TW tires I intend to put on. My current tires for daily use are PS4Ss, which have seen two AutoX events and one track day.

Should I:
A) Leave the Zenna tires on and just take them to an event or two and use them up, knowing performance will be poor

B) Switch the new wheels onto my car now and use the cheap tires as my new dailies, and use my PS4S for events until they’re done; then replace both sets accordingly

C) Just change the tires out now; no point in using the Zennas

The new wheels are wider than my dailies and also in worse cosmetic condition which is why I’d like to use them for performance events sooner, but also seems like a waste to just give up perfectly ok tires

I’m looking for opinions on doing a long road trip with my current alignment.

Right now I’m at about -3 front / -2.6 rear camber. The car used to be more of a canyon carver / autocross-type setup, but now it has basically become my daily driver since I’m selling my other car.

I’m about to do a road trip from California to Georgia, going through Arizona, Colorado, and mountain roads, and then I’ll also be making another trip to Tail of the Dragon next month.

Eventually I wanted to raise the ride height a bit and back the alignment off to something more like -2 front / -1.7 rear, since the car is mostly a daily now. I’m just not sure if I should do that before the road trip or wait until after.

I always hear that toe kills tires more than camber, so I wanted to ask what you guys think. If the toe is good, is a road trip like this still reasonable on my current alignment, or would you change it before going? I’m asking because I’m a little short on time before the trip. I have zero toe front and around 1/16 or 1/32 toe in rear

I’m on Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 tires in 320 treadwear. The fronts are getting close to the wear bars already from hard driving, so I was planning to replace the tires some time after the road trip anyway.

Edit: Thanks for the comments everybody I'm not going to worry about the tire wear for the trip.

Its a totally amateur cheap production but hes putting a lot of heart/soul/effort/sweat/creativity into it. The parts that I will be filming will be the most "vibey" and unscripted part of the movie, the rest of the movie has scripted lines etc. but my part is basically improvisitional/ supposed to get the vibe of a/the autocross event and the drivers and cars. Theres some light direction written into the script/scenes for this part but again for the most part improvisitional.

There will be multiple autocross days filmed/ multiple scenes like this, scripted and unscripted, mine are basically the unscripted ones for the most part. For example one thing hes sent me for this one coming up is basically shoot anything that looks good or anyone who wants to talk about their car, ask questions to them etc.

Any suggestions for good topics/questions/ideas things to talk about them is appreciated. I'm very much a novice to both being involved in a film and autocross for the most part, me and him have lots of close friends who are involved in autocross so of course I'll ask them and people there but I just thought itd be interesting to ask here as well. Btw anything cool/fun to talk about or ask them thats not autocross related is fine/cool/appreciated too and also any suggestions on how to film or w/e, remember I'm a total amateur basically and this movies very cheap/ very much a self consciously amateur production, both just in terms of reality and it supposed to be fun and maybe experimental etc.

This is me in the video, I’m having a hard time finding and fixing my bad driving habits. I know my steering inputs are jerky and I feel like I need to unwind the steering wheel a little earlier and more gently when I’m getting on throttle out of turns but other than that I’m having a difficult time finding my mistakes. Thanks in advance for the advice!

This was so much fun!

I saw a few locals post their rainy runs from this weekend, so here’s mine. 😁

Hi everyone,

I've been working on a hardware prototype designed specifically for motorsports and action vehicles. The goal is to capture the real physics, G-forces, and vehicle inertia in a completely organic way, without relying on the lens distortion of a 360 camera or the complexity of a chase drone.

The system is a passive mechanical rail that wraps around the driver. The camera physically slides in reaction to the vehicle’s movement during turns and acceleration, creating a highly immersive, dynamic shot.

Quick note on the camera setup: The footage in this video was captured using a 3D camera. However, you could also use a regular 360 camera or a standard smartphone. Keep in mind that if you use a smartphone, the shots will be more static, keeping the focus fixed on both the driver and the track at all times.

Regarding installation: The product comes with dedicated Overhead bars. These can be easily installed either by unscrewing existing parts of the go-kart to bolt them on, or by adhering them directly to the go-kart's spoiler/fairing.

I’m sharing two things to get your perspective:

1. The Video: The actual shot captured by the camera using this system (you won't see the rail itself in the clip, just the final camera movement).

Since we are currently fine-tuning the design and engineering before moving forward, I’d love to get feedback from creators and riders who are open to trying new visual styles and angles:

• Visually: Do you feel this dynamic movement adds real value to your action videos compared to a static helmet or chassis mount?
• In practice: Thinking about [Go-Karts / Jet Skis / Ski-Doos], what would be your biggest concern or requirement for an external mount like this (high-frequency vibration, weather-sealing, ease of getting in and out of the vehicle)?

I'm not selling anything here—just looking to validate the concept with the people who actually spend time on the track, water, or snow. I really appreciate any constructive feedback!

The hydroplane section before the hairpin was entertaining to say the least lol

My first year, 6th autocross. Consistently 1-2 seconds slower than similar cars. Stock ND3 Miata on Continental ECS02 tires.
