Default Autocross tomorrow! Drivers ready!

The ACCCC will be holding Auto-x #1 THIS SATURDAY at TireRack's beautiful test track in South Bend, IN. http://www.tirerack.com/ It will be a beautiful day for a Spring drive in the countryside and TireRack is worth the trip.

We promise plenty of on-course time and we'll probably get-in at least 9, maybe 12 runs for everyone. Prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers in each class thanks to one of our sponsors - Laurel Audi of Westmont. http://www.autonation.com/dealers/laurel/laurel-audi/

If you've never been to an Autocross, there nothing to fear. Everyone gets a chance to run against the clock at his or her own pace. If you are a novice, we'll be happy to set you up with one of our Autocross ambassadors for a quick orientation and ride-along instruction.

Come on out and play with your car and meet a bunch of area Audi enthusiasts!<ul><li><a href="http://www.audichicago.org/eventdetail.php?id=122">Sign-up now!</a></li></ul>

Default question....

I signed up but one of my PS hoses started leaking...its not like its spilling all over, but I do smell it once it burns off of engine and i see some collecting on my belly pan - is it OK for me to run or better wait till I have a hose ~5-6 days and replace it.

Thanks

Default If it leaks to the ground or

If there's a bunch of fluid around the engine compartment, you might not pass tech. I'd hate it if your hose really let-loose and got Pentosin all over the track which would curtail the fun of the others. And of course I would not advocate the use of duct tape...

Your car looks great, BTW. Pick-up a hose and fix it tomight so you can run tomorrow.

Also, not many folks quote a "naughty" author in their sig. Oh wait...

Default The other issue is that if you loose too much fluid.....

....and them flog the snot out of the steering you risk damage to parts that are a little more pricy than a hose.

Your call - how bad is the leak? How about some duct tape and a hose clamp?
