2020 WRX autocrossing with MBCA GWS at Summit Point on 20 July 2024 - my best run 49.xx
A fun course today by Scott and collectively good efforts all around (the organizers and participants) to get in 8 (vice 6) runs today - 4 AM and 4 PM. Thanks! This was run 7 for me using my son Matt's wheels with his newer Falken 660's (vice my 3 season old Falken 660s)! Thank you Matt - nice to feel fresh tires! Not sure about the audio issue.

My third run (and quickest?) of six in the second heat on a very hot day - which might help explain the grip level of my 4 year old Falken 660's! Did the heat help wake them up? Or did I just try harder?

We all got our $'s worth today with 4 AM runs and 4 PM runs vice the typical 3/3 event. Plus, Scott's course laid out a nice technical first part followed up by a sweeping second half - so we all got some cake and ate it too? My last three runs were all in the 52.2xx range - I was consistent and so were my heat cycled Falken's.

Was on the rev limiter on the downhill run in second - subsequent runs I used 3rd. Running in the third heat of three. A fun course.

Perhaps a 56.4xx second run? Trying to wear out my 3 year old, heat cycled out Falken RT660's. Last run (6 of 6) in the last heat of the day - thanks to the first and second heats "dusting off" the course! Microphone is trunk mounted and the camera mount wasn't as tight as needed!

    looked like a great run, a shame about the audio. but i could hear you squealing rubber for most of the track. the goods news is that the 255 falkens feel great on your car. regarding the audio, the cable was not fully plugged in - i noticed it after you were done your runs, unfortunately. you want to not see any brass.

  • @rx8matt
    @rx8matt 14 дней назад

    same thoughts - you got off to a great start and maintained a good pace and execution, setting up where you needed to. i would've thought the turbo would've taken a much harder hit in the high temps, but your acceleration still looked strong - i guess subaru must have left design margin in the engine mapping to compensate for the hot, humid air.

    looked like a fast and clean run - no major comments. also looked like a fun course for the WRX - car looked a hair neutral into the right chicane after the slalom?

  • @CurtisHuffman-cj5qm
    @CurtisHuffman-cj5qm Месяц назад

    Seems like there was a good difference in attack and speed from your first to last run. Big change was hitting 3rd gear!

  • @CurtisHuffman-cj5qm
    @CurtisHuffman-cj5qm Месяц назад

    Heard some good consistent tire noise from almost the entire course AND looks like your 2-3 shift point was well chosen to maximum that straight. I wonder what your top speed was there? Looked fast. Just need to put some more torque on your mount arm.

    Funny how we both went faster on run 6 when conditions were potentially degrading. Goes to show there's always more time on the table, you just have to figure out how to get it

  • @rx8matt
    @rx8matt 3 месяца назад

    Very good run! at this point the rear finally looks hooked up. makes me think the subi could benefit from a slightly softer rear compound, although that would preclude rotations (but maybe without rotations, a hard front and soft rear would wear evenly?)

  • @rx8matt
    @rx8matt 3 месяца назад

  • @rx8matt
    @rx8matt 6 месяцев назад

    in many of the corners you had an instance or two when your line and overall approach was close to ideal - now you just have to string those all together over one full lap! ;-)

    • @charleshuffman6982
      @charleshuffman6982 6 месяцев назад

      I knew during the run my line was improving - guess I'm a slow starter!

  • @CurtisHuffman-cj5qm
    @CurtisHuffman-cj5qm 6 месяцев назад

    Good reaction at the start and a good amount of head checks for other karts behind you. @4:25 is a great example of using the full track, turning in at the right moment and not turning more than you need to. This leads to smoothness and minimal loss of momentum. This was a precision you lacked at many other turns on other laps but to be fair so did I. Looking forward to more practice time in these karts as that is exactly what I think we need.

    • @charleshuffman6982
      @charleshuffman6982 6 месяцев назад

      I was more focused later in this run - and my line improved. I need to focus right at the drop of the flag!

  • @rx8matt
    @rx8matt 6 месяцев назад

    Apparently kart #1 was NOT a ringer kart

  • @rx8matt
    @rx8matt 6 месяцев назад

    That looked like a fun battle between you and Casey (although she admits she was just barely keeping up with you when they threw the blue flag, and she admits she made a few mistakes once she was leading "under pressure"). Kart #5 looked very "on the nose", rotating nicely in both directions. But maybe it needed just a hair more rear grip?

    • @charleshuffman6982
      @charleshuffman6982 6 месяцев назад

      I think I was trying the "lean" to the outside technique to free the cart up, so perhaps a wee bit less leaning would have been more neutral

  • @rx8matt
    @rx8matt 6 месяцев назад

    Looks like you and Casey perfected the dive bomb into T1! Looks like #7 must have been a decent kart.

  • @CurtisHuffman-cj5qm

  • @CurtisHuffman-cj5qm
    @CurtisHuffman-cj5qm 8 месяцев назад

    Course looks tight and technical. Good late hard braking and brave early throttle. You showed the AWD capabilities! Nice run.

  • @rx8matt
    @rx8matt 9 месяцев назад

    Looks damp and not much heat in the tires? (Or is that why he took you along!?)

  • @CurtisHuffman-cj5qm
    @CurtisHuffman-cj5qm 9 месяцев назад

    Good throttle control. I'd imagine 400 hp and torque on street tires in heavy rain could have gotten out of hand otherwise.

  • @rx8matt
    @rx8matt 9 месяцев назад

    my best run was also (i think) run 4 - i think conditions might've been a little worse for run 5 too.

    different technique here holding 1st gear, and your launch was better than run 7 it seemed

  • @rx8matt
    @rx8matt 10 месяцев назад

    looks like the cone was at 00:48 trying to get on the power early? and the final sweeper looked like a challenging decreasing radius but it looks like you had a good approach through there

  • @rx8matt
    @rx8matt 10 месяцев назад

    The WRX looked like it is happier again with slightly cooler air temps (for horsepower). that was quite a straightaway near the start but then it looked to be pretty tight and technical, looked like a lot of fun. and from the audio it sounds like you are keeping the tires singing pretty well again.

    • @charleshuffman6982
      @charleshuffman6982 10 месяцев назад

      I didn't miss the Expresso slow steering ratio at this event! I need to learn to consistently get the tires to just start talking and not push them into squealing - or being mum.

  • @rx8matt
    @rx8matt 11 месяцев назад

    Too bad the cars on main downed out your audio somewhat. Couldn't hear quite as much info from the engine and tires in the video.

  • @CurtisHuffman-cj5qm

    Between you and Marc the nice added ballast helped heat up the tires a bit quicker. Thanks.

  • @rx8matt

    More consistent squealing of the tires correlates to the fastest run. Good feedback to use at future events - keep the tires talking.

  • @meyershimanov2001
    @meyershimanov2001 Год назад

    Nice run! I wanted to see where that pace came from so I compared our videos side by side and we were pretty close up until the end of the slalom, with you being about a car length ahead, but then you pulled more than a second on me during the rest of the course. I'll have to do better next time!

    • @charleshuffman6982
      @charleshuffman6982 Год назад

    • @charleshuffman6982
