cool!

i was just wondering more based on the shape of the tire, because under hard cornering the stock tire would more likely roll off the rim or something, where the other tires on the 16x7s would not.

on the BBS RKs: Falken ZE-912, on the stock weaves: Hankook on the back and something weird i can't remember on the front.

Brand name doesn't matter either ;) Could be a Hankook Z214 r-comp for all we know, haha. But if they are just normal, worn out, all-season tires, the 912's will be better most likely, although they are still all season tires that aren't great for autox use.

It won't matter though, the car is the least important thing at your first autox. Just worry about learning.

so i have a question: should i use my BBS RKs with brand new tires or use my stock weaves with older tires?

Doesn't so much matter how new or old the tires are, but instead what model they are. Half tread Dizerra Star Specs are a million times better then random all-seasons from your local tire store that have full tread.

is anyone going to this thing?

Hey guys,

i am a total auto-X n00b, and this will be my first time, i am going to go to this event: http://nccbmwcca.org/index.php?view=...list&Itemid=46

And i searched and didn't find a post here on this exact event, so is anyone here going?

and BTW i have no idea what to do when i get there, i am sure i will figure it out. My brother said a friend at his school invited him to go and he got me to go, so my first auto-X!

i am bringing my DD 318is stock motor, just H&R race, Bilstien Sports, and 16x7 BBS RKs.

anything really important i need to know or anything completely stupid i am missing in all my newb-ness?

BTW just read the "so you want to go to the track" sticky. or whatever the title is.
