Road America Auto Cross (oct 9th)
-
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.

Fixed that for ya

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.

Aw, I thought we were gonna battle it out for the fastest N54 in the world!

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

It'll have to be another day! I have family coming into town from Michigan that I haven't seen in a few years.

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!

Your car looked good. Made me kind of regret selling my silver E46 touring last week.

Why are there so many Priuses!? Anyone who lost to one of them has to feel like a real piece of shit!

It was one yellow Prius with 4 people co-driving it. They trailered it in and out. I was so confused.
Nice job on the time Mitch!

Thanks dude! Tires helped a bunch. I definitely could have been in the 40s on the last run but I let off throttle like 15 feet before the finish. Watched it on video and cried over and over.
Glad you could make it. It was interesting watching your car try to murder you all the time.

Yeah, I saw that run and was surprised when I saw that you still ran a 50 second time even while letting off. Didn't know why you did that but oh well

It is a constant reminder of all the poor decisions I've made.

The 528? Looked like you were driving the wheels off that thing. Nicely done, sir.

7th place overall. Had to beat a lot of fast cars to post a time like that. I'll have to catch a ride with you next time. Good times!

Thanks! Your 1 series looks great and sounds gnarly!

Thanks, Hip! Yep, it's got 198K on it but drives great. Lots of winter projects to fix her up a little.
