I was right...my E30 was too loud to autocross...

#1

But, on a bright note, I got to drive a SpecE36 build for my last 5 runs. First time I ever drove an E36 (not counting a brief drive of Lea’s M3). I finished 3rd overall and first in class. My one run in the SpecE30 would have given me 6th overall and 2nd in class (obviously a different class from the SpecE36).

This was only my 4th or 5th time autocrossing, so I attribute my performance to the skills you guys have been teaching me at the track.

Okay, now you can start bashing me for autocrossing.

Nice results little girl.

Bill autocrossing is fun. A drift in second gear is just like a drift in third-only slower.

(That was an astute observation.)

Come join us at Barber. Will you and Lea be there?

Yes. I likely won’t miss another race this year. Roebling was just at the wrong time for me to make it.

Autocrossing is like riding a MoPed- fun to do every once in a while, but don’t let your friends know you do it.

:dry: There was is something else that is like riding a MoPed… but I will keep it G rated :dry:

Oh Buddy, you’ll see it, at least one time per race, likely as you lap my slow old ass!
