Would it be wierd to hear that I have NEVER driven in snowy conditions before?
I have only seen snow twice in my life. Is it hard to drive in snow? I do have my original all season tires the car came with. . . . . . should I be worried about the whole no DSC thing?

 

I guess I'll come to the meet, maybe bring my video cam to record the guys autox.

 

hmm, snow is expected on the road tomorrow?

 

sun for the rest of today, and tomorrow. roads should be fairly dry....

it to was snowing here this morning... now nice and sunny! It will be sunny for the reminder of the weekend.

 

Was that in Beaumont???

 

yup, when I drove past the two bus stops this morning, kids were balling up the snow and throwing it at each other. Definately an oddity in Fontana...not so much in Beaumont.

Snow, rain...about the same except you don't have to worry about Black Ice in rain.

 

those pictures were at my house in Beaumont... it was snowing here in San berdo also. I was very suprised. (when I said here, I ment San Berdo.) it is an odd site to see when there is snow in Redlands and San berdo.

I am also suprised how fast the "storm" left. it is very sunny and very little clouds right now.

 

I'll share my pics when I get home....I doubt the snow will still be there, unless that huge cloud going up the Cajon pass is still there.

 

When I drove to work this morning, snow was falling on the freeway from Fontana to Rialto. That was pretty cool.
It was snowing a lot in Redlands. The car dealerships by the freeway looked like a ski resort parking lot after a storm.

Now, the sun is out and all the snow is gone.
Too bad. I'd love to try autocrossing on an icy course!

 

no hurry as long as you keep coming to the meets. concerend about the weather, it will be great and clear and cold. road conditions wil be fine maybe at the top of the mountain at little slushy but we can drive slow.


great pictures casey, that is 2 years in a row it snowed in beaumont. (last year when we went to the home openings as well)

 

well, the odds of my car being there went from 90% to 1% in the matter of 2 minutes....... i went to my appointment to get the car dyno tuned.. and the guy who is supposed to do it is snowed in up in victorville.... they "say" he is still trying to get down... but im not holding my breath.... well, i may hold it a little

 

vipers, show up in your P5...at least you will get points rather than a 0 (some is better than none). Can't miss the first event of the year man. Use the practice day to perfect your driving skills in the P5.

 

It snowed at my house.

 

well its official.... my rx7 will NOT be at the event tomarrow.... i did make it to the dyno.. but we spent 6 hours trying to figure issues out... so @ 4500 rpm w/ the trailing spark not working, i made 196rwhp and 212 lbs.tq .... compare that to caseys (sorry casey..lol) the tuner said that when the issues are fixed, @ 14lbs. of boost, i should be around 400rwhp


so ill see you all tomarrow in the p5

 

so I take it replacing the trailing coil didnt work??? why would the coils not fire? is there power going into it?

well that sucks....

look at the bright side. at least you still get to drive a car tomorrow. you still get seat time. (dont get me wrong, I fell your pain.... I have been there.... oh how I have been there). but a day at the track in a P5 that runs is better then a day at work. the P5 should do well.

 

I left before the storm ended, but this is what it looked like when I left for work.....

 

wow, nice snow pics. my co worker lives on the fontana/rialto border, ad he said that there was literally 3 inches of snow on the ground.

lesper, i hope you check this: I will NOT be coming to the meet tomorrow. something has come up, and i will be going to LA.

Have fun tomorrow guys! be safe

 

ill be there in the morning

 

engine fire!!!!!!


well, i was on my way home from work, and bam... my car is on fire.... so what a perfect end to an already perfect day..... i havnt really assessed the damage yet, but from what i can tell, my injectors, fuel rails, wiring, manifold, and alot of vacuum lines were fried... but the deeper i dig, im sure there is alot more!

 

not to make lite of your situation, but arent you glad I gave you the fire extinguisher two days ago. "you know Jesse, you really should have one of these in your car when you have a car like this.. I want it back, but take it untill you can get one for yourslef.".... man I am glade I gave that to you. could you imagine if it just kept burning? right now it is only a couple hundred bucks. it could have been a total loss. ( I know the bright side of things is a little hard to see right now. but youll get this fixed.)

also looks to me that the manifold and fuel rails ar just fine... of course I am not looking right at it either. fuel lines also look fine???

 

speed is right thats alot of power. when you get it fixed
keep aleast one ext. handy. sorry about about what happened

 

Wow sorry to see that viper but you and your car are alright it seems. I guess there is no MAJOR? damage to the engine? what caused the fire?

OK KK i wont stop by. Toca i will be at Pirate City at 9 or before.

yeah i heard there was snow in rancho just never saw any till i got to see pictures at work. i think there was deffinitly more east of us.

 

I won't be doing the run today.

 

leavin now. got 65 miles to travel at 70 mph. So I will see you in about that long.

 

HA!!! first one home! I've got some pics but half of them are on my camera, half on Emilie's. Gimme some time to resize and I'll post them up.

It was AWESOME seeing some of you again...it'd been far too long. Sorry I couldn't make the Autrocross, hope you guys are having fun
