Hey fellas, so after several years of owning E30s, I finally did my first autocross! I had a complete blast and definitely learned a lot. After reviewing all the videos I took, there is definitely a lot of time still left on the course. Looks like I will have to become a regular attendee and work on this driving :D. I went out with Agent (you can see/hear Lola right at the beginning) and Sideways87 and we all ran great. Open to criticism!

Remember, it's better to brake a little early and nail the exit than brake a bit late and blow your apex.

Aggression is good, but only when it's controlled aggression and doled out in the right places. You came in too hot to a lot of the tight corners and then just cranked on the wheel... focus more on smoothly guiding the car in the line that you want to take instead of going as fast as you can and keeping the car on the course. Then add aggression as necessary where you feel you can.

This is my best run from this weekend. It wasn't a normal competition in that this was a two day event, largely club against club. All of the autox regions from North and South Carolina join in, and the top 10 PAX times from each club are totaled and the collective lowest time wins. There is actually a large trophy that goes around and is held by the club that wins until the next year, and a lot of trash talking associated. They still do individual trophies, but it's secondary to the club competition. It's a lot of fun, and has a different atmosphere than most other Solo competitions.
As for the run itself, I was trying out a new sway bar setup and I wasn't entirely comfortable with the handling. The car was actually a lot more stable than I was used to so I was still trying to figure out the limits. I dropped a couple seconds across the 3 runs, but still easily had 1-2 seconds left on course. I was also surprised by the amount of grip given that I'm on NT01's and the ambient temp was only about 60*. Oh well, it's all part of the learning process.
