    agreed. The M3 sounded sweet.

    Thanks for sharing your pics @HipMF

    some tips if you need 'em for nikon cameras:  If your lens has the VR switch, turn it off. it wont play well with camera panning or moving objects. Set your Autofocus mode to AF-C and 3D tracking. it predicatively changes the focus based on your subjects movement, to help catch focus on cars coming towards you.

    finally got around to my photos

    Thanks for the tips. The last time I used the camera was at a show that I went to, so I had the ISO jacked up to 800 and autofocus set to AF-S. I just forgot to change it before I started snapping away. Noob mistake. Live and learn...

      it sounded amazing too!

      Thanks guys and nice pics! Maybe by next event  I’ll be able to figure out who’s who by all your guys cars 🤦‍♂️

      I’m planning on going to the next event at RA on Aug 12th, I’ll have to make it a point to actually put some faces to the names. I will say though the e21 was definitely one of my favorites out there!

              nice. I've been too cheap to buy a proper helmet for SCCA events. Maybe next year...

              Planning on doing the FVSCC event at RA Sept 12. Someone remind me not to forget that registration opens Aug 26.

                    Were you able to sign up? I just signed up for it, going to be driving the wagon in D street. Looks like the registration is open for FVSCC members only until the 2nd of September, then open to non-members.

                      I did find the page, but it said I wasn't a member when I tried to sign up. I joined the club through motorsportsreg, but maybe someone needs to manaully add me to the list or something. I sent an email to Justin last night. We'll see...

                          Had a blast at the FVSCC RA autocross today! Perfect weather and the course had a great mix of fast and challenging sections. I understeered my way to a glorious not-last finish in my class!

                          Tried my hardest with my potato phone camera, got a few shots of @HipMF while working turn 1. They both came out a little blurry unfortunately, probably had a finger print on the lens or something.

                              Austin put some pictures up:

                              https://www.flickr.com/gp/99430171@N06/5NgVT7

                              Surprised how much body roll I'm still able to get.

                              Didn't see any pictures of the long-roof unfortunately.

                              Definitely got a little more comfortable sliding the car around thanks to the resurfacing.

                                you'll be needing 1000lb springs if you want that flat handling look.

                                    Gf and I were undecided, event is full anyways unless you want to work - probably won’t be attending

                                        It's on my list of things to do. We'll see if I can manage to get to it before registration closes...😂

                                        The last event at RA did not fill up and I would expect this event would have lower turnout due to weather.

                                        I might bring the old 13" all-seasons if it's really cold. Curious how cold it has to be before they work better than the RS4s...
