These events were always so much fun! Doesn't look like too many people are standing around watching.

Lost Rider · 04-23-2006, 05:19 PM

The small crowd of people were all behind me.

More pics:

My poor tires!

i used to be big into autocrossing 10 years ago... mustang gt, 16v vw scirocco, corvette.

i love the look of your wagon. thanks for sharing!

ksfrogman · 04-23-2006, 08:08 PM

I bet that little Mini really cooked around that course.

Lost Rider · 04-23-2006, 08:20 PM

The Touring took 1st place overall !!!!! j/k
Today was school, no timing gear.
I really can't wait to see how my wagon and I are going to do against other cars.
Soon enough.........

I hate that when I forget about the autocross event. :mad: See attached pics from my event last year. I wish I were there today as I'll bet you would have gotten an action shot of my car.

I will be at Road America next weekend with Windy City BMW CC for their track driving school. I'll get plenty of PICS and post them.

Sorry you missed it.
I'm debating about going next weekend to Road America. hmmmmm. 2 days is a big commitment.
I might still be able to go, I was discussing it today at autocross
Gingerman Raceway has plenty of open track days, and Speed Trial has 2 schools a month all summer there.
I like Autocross and will be there, but have the need for speed on a big track. I'll be going to Gingerman as much as possible.
If you ever want to go, just look at their schedule and PM ME.

Well, either way you have fun at Road America, maybe I'll see you there.

seems like you guys really had a great time there

As promised here are a few pics from RA.

Awesome!
Looks like a great track, I hope to make it there sometime.

Pyrat 2 · 04-30-2006, 06:12 PM

Waaay too much fun! Coming into that corner you are slowing from about 120 mph. The brakes held up great all weekend with no fading even with lap after lap of 120-110 HARD braking. I was really surprised. Oh BTW either I'm a faster driver or the 330i will run faster than an RX-8 on the track (think its the later since I'm a novice on the track driving skills).

Lost Rider · 04-30-2006, 07:28 PM

You coming to the Chicago meet?

Hey Chitown,I'm sure this came as a good distraction to the destruction of your driveway.
