I definitely had a good time today. I know what I need to work on for my car and myself. My car was just too tail happy at the very end of the course...need to fix that.

I will look out for this next year...I doubt I can do it again this year.

<-- Accord

Hardcore clunkage from the front driver's wheel well, I believe it's related to the axle not sure though.

Under accelleration = no noise (or much less)
Braking = lots of noise
Coasting = lots of noise
Straight Line = noise
Curve = noise

Re: VMP autoX 9/2 & Langley autoX 9/9

Sorry to hear it. Sounds like an axle, or possibly a motor/trans mount? I dunno, would need to hear it, but good luck with that - I hope it's cheap and easy to fix...

Anyway, results will be posted shortly:
