    You should bring your car. Snap told me how quick it was and I have yet to see it in person

    Maybe if you stopped bailing on me when I drive it to Eau Claire you'd have seen it by now...

      That was supposed to be a gif of a dude in an ejection seat.

      But yes I bail and I can never forgive myself

        It's alright.  I'm considering making it to this event.  It may be my last free weekend before the 4th quarter takes over my life.  This will give you a chance to see the fastest n54 in Wisconsin!

          It was like $40! Too cheap not to go!! The kart track is actually kind of fun too. Beats the hell out of a parking lot

            Sounds like Jake wants to test this theory.
            It would good to see you at the event!

              I know he's just trying to ruffle feathers 👀

              Neither of us are the fastest N54's in WI. David's 10 second 135i and a few single turbo N54s are definitely faster. We might be candidates for fastest stock turbo N54's tho!

              Autocross would be a driver's battle. It might turn into a driftfest for me 😆

                Drift fest or not that track is fun (for being a kart track) I co-drove Brooke's Miata last time out and it was a blast. First time driving her car, they need another 120hp for sure

                  I ran the kart track in an autox event when Badger Bimmers hosted the BMCCA national Ofest at Road America several years back. Elevation changes add a different dimension than the parking lot autox. Must be a blast to run/race the track in a kart!

                        At least the cars won't overheat as easily. And I won't get fat kid sweaty.

                          Cool air = fun. Happy engines with more power.

                          If you're an autox addict, tires are the wild card though. Depending on compound and how they handle or need heat in autox conditions you can have bricks with less stick or on the plus side tires that get less greasy in back to back runs.

                          For non addicts (you have no idea what tire blankets are, you think a plant sprayer is for plants, etc) it's all grins. Enjoy!

                            I'm excited to participate in my first non-winter autocross. The 1-series will be sliding all over the place if it's cold.

                                I won't be making it anymore.  I can't stand to be beaten by Kaisers girlfriend in a Miata!  The embarrassment would shame my family and I just can't have that.

                                    No worries Pat. She might not even be bringing her Miata. Stupid innovate wideband keeps trolling the tuning

                                        This was crazy fun. I've never seen a car complete a course in reverse (spence). It was good seeing everyone

                                          What a great event! It was my first auto-x and I will certainly be running more in the future. 

                                          I was driving the E39 Touring and it was crazy fun!
