    Yeah, my handbrake skills weren't much use.

    I didn't realize the RA was $80. That's pretty steep if it's correct. The summer autocross was only $30... Not sure what the added expense would be.

      I'm sure they needed to pull some permits with the DNR.

        Ben (GunMetalGrey) would have placed 4th in the AWD with snow tire class today, but he was driving a RWD, so instead he took first... in a stock e34 525i with 267k on the clock...

        I, quite sadly, was about 2 seconds slower, but to be fair he's had a lot more seat time in my car than I have.

        Regardless, good times were had. See you all at the next event 😛

        Just saw this now, 10th place for me... better than last!

        Thanks for nudging us to come, I had a blast.

        thanks! i just looked at the results from the weekend, had to laugh:

        AWD All Season:
        1. David S. (Astro Van)................79.76...........73.41......... .......153.17
        2. Matt W. (WRX white)...............81.97...........73.27........ .........155.24
        3. Joe M. (STi blue).....................91.88...........72.45... ..............164.33
        4. Yitzhak P. (STi blue)...............108.77.........99.68.......... ........208.45
        5. Alex R (STi silver)....................DNF.............90.31.. .....................

        Also, Ben's time was almost good enough for #1 in AWD snow tire class...so much for AWD being much help for traction. 

        Ben and Mike put down some good times, that's for sure. The E34 seems to be an epic snow shredder. Makes me wish I had some new Altimax Arctics on mine instead of the worn Blizzaks. Hopefully there is one more event this year, I'd love to improve my skills.

        I'll add some of the pictures I took later tonight.

              Waiting on my ADS cable to come in so I can figure out why the CEL is on the 530i. Once that's sorted I can join the fun with worn winter tires.

                    never posted a pic but I hoarded another a few weeks ago. Guessing it needs a fuel pump but figured this was a good time to set up a diagnostic laptop so I should know thurs or Friday when I have the cable and computer all set up.

                        nice! love it in black. I had a fueling issue in mine when I got it, turned out to be a borked fpr, not the pumps or filters. I have a working used pump if you need one for diagnosis.

                            I suspect it has something to do with the fact that Madison is on an isthmus.

                            Isthmusses are bad juju

                              Rest easy Earl - I already emailed Accuride to let them know they need to Rev their prints to match the current internet trends. 😉

                                        tapatalk? No ad money here. I tried out those text links and got nothing after a few months. I don't like ads anyways.

                                          Yeah tapatalk. I h8 ads too. But if they help out the forum I'm for it [emoji106]🏻

                                          I'm sure tapatalk is 100% separate anyhow
