: what is with all the misconceptions about autox?
bradze 04-24-2010, 05:58 PM i dont autox much anymore, i stick to lapping days, but all the ASSUMPTIONS are annoying me. i always here "its so hard on your tires"
bullshit, tires wear out. the longer it takes, the bigger a pussy you are. plain and simple. "i need to upgrade my brakes...." WHERE THE FUCK DO PEOPLE GET THESE IDEAS!!!!:duh::wtfsign:
Eyler_Evo_X 04-24-2010, 06:10 PM I answer your questions with a question of my own; where do YOU get the idea that people have these misconceptions?
hotdog 04-24-2010, 06:25 PM Wait, are you agreeing that tires wear out faster during AutoXing, or disagreeing with it?
For it to be a misconception, the idea has to be WRONG. Like, "it's a misconception that Evos are made in China"; they're not made in China, thus, it's a misconception.
You're basically bitching that people are saying that tires wear out faster during an AutoX, then go into a tirade about the longer it takes for your tires to wear out, the bigger a pussy you are.
The "you have to upgrade your brakes" think, I kinda sorta agree, is a misconception; for mild tracking/auto-xing, our brakes are fine.
DynastyX 04-24-2010, 06:27 PM -Pats bradze on the back- it's okay buddy, we're here for you.
bradze 04-24-2010, 07:20 PM ummm, theres always tons and tons of people afraid to autox because they think it kills there tires. and this morning i was asked about autox and he thought he had to upgrade his brakes, no, i explained why not, but it gets frustrating hearing things like that so often.
11XRAY 04-24-2010, 07:32 PM so do i need to upgrade the brakes?
Eyler_Evo_X 04-24-2010, 07:34 PM Well, we're sorry that people ask questions, Bradze, I guess it's better for them to just stay ignorant. :ghey:
bradze 04-24-2010, 07:41 PM asking questions is fine, let me be a bit more clear. my point was it bothers me that people just make ASSUMPTIONS about autox and wont do it. always hear stupid excuses like "oh, my car's not ready........" and 11xray, there is no need to upgrade your brakes unless you've ever run into fade or something which will not become an issue until you're car sees HPDEs
You always vent and rant on here lol. Mostly about dragging though
Scooter 04-24-2010, 07:43 PM Bradze - Just consider this an opportinity to spread the truth. People are misinformed about a GREAT MANY TOPICS. It will be your job to be the voice of reason and spread the truth.
bradze 04-24-2010, 07:44 PM yeah i know, you think instead i should keep it all inside a go into an auto parts store with an AK?
bradze 04-24-2010, 07:48 PM true, i am pretty lazy, staying still would be better.
mantella 04-24-2010, 08:26 PM I do not autox for a few reasons and think if naything would just do lapping days and such. 35.00 a day to run 2-3 45 second passes on a tight course do not sound like much fun for the evo and i think my class would be to screwy for the civic to be remotely competive atleast with me driving. I have only tried it once tho and it was a long time ago even tho a lot of my friends still do it.
bradze 04-24-2010, 08:31 PM yeah, the same reason i dont do it anymore but ill still do practice days. usually about 20 runs for $40. actual events suck ass!
