    Saw that, wasn't sure it was worth the extra cost over a regular auto-x. It is $175 for non members! Thoughts?

    Never done one. Track based rather than parking lot, no cones. If I understand it correctly it's typically a DE event for part of the day (morning) and then the afternoon is a Time Trials, kind of like parking lot in that you are classed and get multiple runs (not sure on #) to post your fastest lap. Cars are spaced out on course.  Higher speeds of course, and track based so damage potential is greater than cone scuffs.

      Shawano event is full

      balls. I get it, but I still find the whole online registration thing to be pretty annoying. Added myself to the waitlist...

      I was looking at this too. Would be a lot of fun, but I'm not sure if I trust myself enough not to pile the car into a wall/berm/etc.

        I stood in the same place the whole first heat, and then had responsibilities my other off-heat, but I managed to get a couple good shots.

        This guy actually had pretty clean runs most of the day, but gave me my best cone-slaying pics early in the first heat:

        Good times. Very happy with my car and driving for the day. Looking forward to the next one.

                          Dan was trying to get a friendly wager going today. I don't think I can beat Mitch, but I'm pretty confident I won't be the slowest BMW, despite a lack of cylinders... it should be interesting...

                            I won't be there unfortunately 😦

                            I'm hoping to have my e30 done for the next Shawno event though, assuming they have another in September(ish)

                              This has been a bigger disappointment than any of us ever could have anticipated. I feel empty,  nay, cheated, out of the opportunity to see your face tomorrow. 

                              They should have one more in the fall months again though. 

                              Don’t let me down twice in one year.

                                I'm sorry for the crushing disappointment, but don't worry, If I don't have an e30 to drive this summer/fall, I'll be sure to make it to at least one or two events in whatever else I have that runs

                                  Pics!

                                  I had some settings jacked up on my camera and didn't realize it. Also Fox Valley is less lax about just letting you walk around on the track to take pictures. Still managed to get a couple fun shots though.

                                    Mitch showed me the run times. You put some fast runs in with the E21! I say that is a testament to your ingenuity and suspension design, as well as your driving skills. Great job Mike! You should feel proud of your work
