    let a friend co-drive my e30 (waiting for him to upload his videos)

    in the meantime I drove my new to me C5 Z06 what a rocketship! I'm not used to a car swallowing straight aways as fast as I can hit the skinny pedal. (and consequently my line and driving was mostly crap as I tried to play catch up with the car.

    you can see my e30 staging right as I finish :D



    I let a couple other friends drive my e30 the day before the above event took place since I was in a wedding and unable to attend that day, heres a video from the primarily Right hand turn course:

      Damn, I was there Saturday; wish I had made an effort to be there Sunday, too. That S52 sounded mean!

        Thanks! I hadn't heard the car at WOT from outside before, very impressed and pleased with the noises it makes!

        Saturday looked like a brutal course for left side tires (although the rivals took it great) Sunday was much more balanced!

          Yeah, my left tires were decimated. If I had known the course was going to be reversed I would have come for sure.

            Klodkrawler05 your e30 seems wicked with the new tire setup. Sounds mean as hell too. Nice choice on the C5 z06. All they need are some sway bars and some decent tires to be great at autocross. They do require a lot if driver discipline though. With courses like that i think i'd enjoy driving the e30 more though.

                    Not planning on it, other stuff to do. I'll be back again though. Fun course, big area and I have a lot of room for improvement so ...

                                Not bad dude, fun course!

                                How about some 3 rd and 4th gear action?



                                In a fiesta ST. Mustang ventilated its block last event :(

                                +2 though. I hit a cone at the very beginning kink and the final slalom, though it doesn't seem like it in those areas to me.
