Thanks for sharing.

Nice photos.

I wish I could have gotten a ride in that Atom. And I love how nordique14 makes the 1 series vert look like the size of a miata.

I took a photo of your car, just not in motion.

Here are some more photos:

Yea, lucas is a lucky bastard, getting a ride in the atom. But from what i hear, the atom shows up at the marina events a lot, so maybe we'll catch a ride with him next time. Are you gonna try to go to the next one on 10/11 mark?

Not sure yet. I really want to go to the car control clinic the day before. Not sure if I want to drive down there back to back.

BrokenVert · 09-13-2009, 10:56 PM

Haha nice to see im not the only one crazy enough to autox my 135i vert. Sick pics man, wish mine came out that good.

NICE photos guys, wish I could have made it out. Alas, I am in Hawaii for the week so I guess there are worse places to be.

Convertibles make fine autox cars...especially if you put r-comps on them.

Those are some mighty fine pics. Very good shots. The one of the 2002 is awesome.

Hope you guys had fun. Everyone did a great job and improved through the day. It was great to see.

I second that statement. Although ive only had the privalegde of putting PS2s on my car. R comps must be amazing.

I finally have the car (mostly) sorted out. I finally have tires that work on my camber challenged car. I also broke down and added the rear sway bar. Just the front was not working. Been two races where things have gone well after making the changes. Finished 3rd last month just .002 behind 2nd place (but still way behind first). This month the guy who normally wins AA did not run. So it is first place but with an * after it.

I'm going to need to get some advice from you at the next event.

Too bad we were in the same group. It would have been nice to get a ride with you and maybe have you evaluate one of my runs. My times were pretty consistent throughout aside from my 2nd run where I was trying way too hard, but I was hoping to do a little better than I did.

Are you going to the next one in Oct? I can make sure I run in a different group.
