Mazda Rev It Up Scores

[HippoSleek]

Fess up -- who did what in the competition? I figure if a national competition with scaled scores isn't sports involving motors -- even if not 240s -- what is?

I scored a 533 and change on my first run (coned the second -- but my score would have been about 590 if clean :( ). That was good for 1200ish nationally, 180th nationally in my group (I picked club b/c I don't autox); I was 128th best at my location. I figure that's not bad considering I haven't autoxed or driven an FWD car in years.

Last year I got in the mid 500s. FWD and auto killed me.

I was 1st on the leader board for a few hours, so the 'head marketing guy' called me to make sure I would be around so that I could do an interview, get some pictures taken, answer some questions, etc, etc. Alas, he never called back, so I figured they had already found another marketing puppet. Whee!
The fastest run I had was with a cone, too.. Coulda gone to Laguna; boo!

i got a 400, first time to do a racing event like that, but when i drove the go karts i lapped everyone i was racing against :cool:

Wasn't the gokart track just an oval..? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to down-play your victory.. but.. did they end up changing the gokart track to an actual 'track' after the first events they had here in the Bay Area, California?

[captobvious]

it wasn't an oval in the houston one it had straight aways, s turns and other stuff like that

[AKADriver]

Badly.

Just... badly.

Autocross has never been a strong suit for me.

Halz -- nice work! That's a lot of bragging rights.

I think you needed a 600 to be on the pro board here -- Daddio ran the event here and won with a 740-something :o If I hadn't coned, I still would have been in 35-40th place!

Our go kart track was not an oval only -- it had a few turns. Too bad my 200+ lbs ass got rolled by 140 lbs. kids. Highlight of the go-kart track was that they were also doing drift runs on it in an Rx8.. until he tagged the tirewall and tore the rear bumper off the car. I was standing at the gate ready to go on track and got to see it first hand. rofl.

Damn Halz, nice job!
I go in two weeks to Atlanta. I think I was like 15th there last year...I think 170something(?) nationwide. So I'm hoping for the best...I guess we'll see in a couple weeks. :x:

This was my first time to any type of auto cross event and i got 515

[LanceS13]

Well BOO me! :p I set new records on all three practice courses, but just couldn't pull it together for the real deal. Didn't push hard enough the first run, and pushed a little too hard on the second, got crossed up and lost a couple tenths on a good run...but then I hit a cone...so after the goof-up and the cone penalty, my first run was better with only 576pts.
