Rogers Arkansas Autocross August 26, 2012 Part 3

And now to post the remainder of the pictures and videos I took at the Arkansas Show and Go autocross in Rogers, Arkansas. It took me way too long. But it's okay, my excuse is having two jobs.

Rogers Arkansas Autocross August 26, 2012 Part 2

And here is the extremely delayed part 2 of the Arkansas Show and Go autocross from Rogers, Arkansas. Some very impressive cars did make it out, too bad the rain made a lot of the run times seem irrelevant.


075 076 I was glad to see the "MI6 Apporoved" Lotus make it out. It always has a nice sound thanks to the turbo and bov. 332 233 234

Rogers Arkansas Autocross August 26, 2012

And now it's time for the long overdue post about the Arkansas Show and Go sponsored autocross that took place at the Frisco Station Mall. It rained that day. A lot. Luckily, that didn't stop the organizers from calling it off. They did take a break and add a few extra cones when one of the competitors spun out onto a curb during the heaviest portion of rain. None of the times were competitive or significant but it was very entertaining to watch. After a while the rain did let up, and the parking lot dried up.

Cool Stuff Coming Soon

To the very few people I have that actually go to this blog, I went back and re-edited all the old posts so that there is now a jump break, (one of those "read more" button links) hopefully that will make the site less cluttered looking and easier to load.

Fairly soon I will have pictures and videos up from the August 26 autocross in Rogers. It may have rained that day, but that didn't really stop anybody.

Here is a video preview of what sort of cool stuff I will be posting soon when I get some time.

Arkansas Show and Go 7/15/12 Part 3

Finally time to finish up my pictures from the autocross.

Sorry for the fact that some of the pictures aren't aligned. But blogger doesn't seem to want to cooperate with me right now, so I'm just going to leave them misaligned. 




Honda S2000 love. The silver 31 came in 7th overall in the raw times with a 38.511.






This thing is bad ass, and came in second overall in the raw times list with a 36.273.







Chrysler Conquest. I love these boxy things.

Arkansas Show and Go 7/15/12 Part 2

Well, I have been rather lazy, so I suppose it is now time for me to get off my butt and post more autocross pictures. And this was meant to be a fun project.



A very beautiful Sting Ray, this car has caught the attention of my camera before. The owner is a cool guy, and drove well at about 41 seconds.






This V8 Thunderbird is very fast, loud, and rough. And with the good driver behind the wheel, it came in 9th overall with a 38.638.

Arkansas Show and Go 7/15/12 Part 1

This is the third one of these events this year. The course layout of this event was very different from the last one, so the times will not be comparable. The event is sponsored by the 4 State Vettes Club, hence the large   amounts of Corvettes participating.





This beautiful Impala was unfortunately not out there all that long, sadly it may have developed mechanical problems.



If I drove a Lotus i would probably tape it up to protect it too. Not that I can fit into a Elise. The car is even smaller in person that you can imagine.








This Cayman owner was not holding back, posting a 37 second run good enough for 6th place.




This MR2 looked like it was pretty well sorted and cornered pretty flatly for a 39 second run.

Incoming Content Soon

I will be posting pictures from the 7/15/12 Arkansas Show and Go autocross soon. But in the meantime here is the only video that I took at the event. Don't worry, it's a video of the loudest and most entertaining car on the grid. In fact, I'm not sure the video does the car's loudness justice.
