<![CDATA[2018 AutoX Events]]>I know there are a few people here participating (or claiming they will) in some AutoX this year.  I assume anyone with a current project e30 won't be seen in 2019. 🤪

If anyone is wanting to try, come along! its easy to learn, and all you need is a Snell M/DOT motorcycle helmet at a minimum, and most events have loaners, and some of us have a spare. 

Use this thread to post what you are attending so others can join/spectate/car pool in Snap's minivan. Obviously, people's plans change, so if you are going expecting to see someone, you might want to double check with them beyond this thread.

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...

Anyone register for the October 21st event at usair?

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

Austin put some pictures up:

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.

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.

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...

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! 

Just signed up for the Aug 12th event at RA as well!

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...
