Whoo Hoo 1st even w/ 135i 1st Place in DS @ Autocross

MarkRacerX · 04-15-2011, 08:16 PM

This is my 2nd Rwd, I had a 350Z, then STI's prior. Talk about a Great driving car and very predictable!! I ran two runs w/ DSC to see where throttle would cut, then following 6 runs w/ it fully off. I picked up close to 3 seconds by afternoon. Fun, course, mostly 2nd gear, No Cones all day Amazingly and no spin outs, whew! My brother took 1st in his class too w/ his 08' STI ( stage 2 and Hankook DOT slicks ) he ran about 6 seconds Faster than me. Flood of Miata's / Mini Coopers, Nissan 240's and About 3 STI's and 3 BMW M3's were majority of the cars.

I hope to get vids of my runs soon, buddy just got the Go Pro HD setup. Seems they do great and Amazingly clear.

Ok, just had share! Was proud to Represent the 135i

Here is link to a vid of an Old Airport where Autocross is primarily held:

Oh Yes, DS - Run what I brung! haha just aired them up to 50psi and tires didn't roll much at all. No Perf. / Handling mods yet. Yeah RFT's don't even screetch, just spin, a Mini cooper was a few seconds behind me for 2nd place.

You guys like my Number ?

Yeah a buddy got Go Pro HD, I will have to get some vids from him. They always look so SLOW though when watching, not even close to how it was, but get an idea of track and lines, just doesn't nearly represent the speed. I knew car sliding/understeer on tight turns yet looked like I was barely going. I will get them soon though n share

Great result! So what cars were your closest competition?

Waiting for vids...
