PCA Autocross

scorcherjf · 05-12-2009, 03:51 PM

yandyr and I were at the PCA Gold Coast Region's last autocross before their summer break. Was a lot of fun, we each got 8 runs, although it was brutally warm and humid that day which made working the corner stations tiring.

Thankfully they didn't get a picture of me spinning out at the first turn, granted it would be a funny one!

Only 2 135i's there that day, and 1 other 335i. IMO the 135i looks a lot more at home on the track/autox than the 335i. Unfortunately there weren't any pics of the 335i, not sure why.

Looks like it was fun, I am going to make it out one of these days.

yandy · 05-12-2009, 09:33 PM

i was going to post one of my videos from inside the car but youtube is down at the moment.. oh well maybe later. But we have to do more of these and track days, let me know when you're going, you have my info..

and we'll get together and a few others and have a little fun at the track.

Awesome vid, nice quality too! I need to get one of those rigs. We really need to dump our runflats for something better hah.

I'll be at Sebring this weekend with PBOC so hopefully I can swap out my tires by then.

+1 on getting rid of the RFTs, once my Forgestar Wheels and tires get here, i'll get some nice track tires for my stockers. Have fun at the track dude!

looks good fellas! rest up and practice during the summer, and we'll get that M3 in the fall...dont worry!

I was 3 secs behind him on RFT's, so with these new RE-01s, I should be able to give him a run for his money, and you fellas should too!

Last time i went to moroso, the course is set up at the kart track.

Hm that autox sounds interesting, but it's the same weekend as the NASA track day at Homestead so I'm not sure which one to choose!

I just went to PBOC's Sebring yesterday and it was amazing! I had just got my KW V3's put in and it made the car feel so much more confident. One of the instructors who had just been driving around a Lamborghini Gallardo spyder hopped into my car and said he liked it better than the lambo! And he was really going at it in my car lol

Besides the usual driving time they had a special 2 hour autocross for the novice students so that was a nice bonus. Lots of fun, and I was going sideways for a lot of it haha.

I saw another 135i there too, not sure if he's on these forums. He was running with a jb3 or jb+, one of those.

If NASA weren't so expensive compared to the others I'd choose to do that in a heartbeat, but maybe I'll do the autox instead.
