CO Upcoming Motorsport Events! SCCA Autox 4/13

[Eric]

Yeah, turn 9 can really test the size of your balls.

Nice dude, what tires are next?

How does laguna compare to HPR? :puppy:

Heavily leaning towards the BFG Rivals, but also thinking the NT01s or the RE-11As, maybe the Dunlop Z2s.

So really, I have no idea. Probably the rivals since I can get a 245/40 and they sound to be equally adept at track and autox.

Laguna.....is just awesome. Way shorter of a lap than HPR, but I think most of it flows better from corner to corner. Deceptively tricky, and as awesome and roller-coastery as the hairpin is, it's the following turn 9 and preceeding turn 5-6 that is where I tended to gain/lose seconds of time.

My intake is so damn loud now. In a very very good way.

video from buddy's car, I end up semi-drifting turn 2.

Yea Buddy. The dunlops are suuuuuuper heatcycled out though, they get instantly grippy and then lose all grip and consistency, start squirming and wandering. Time for new tires!

Also, just might be doing Thunderhill on the 27th. Rumor is there are spots left...

Not my best run, but by far the most entertaining to watch. From this last weekend.

Nice. :up:

have you run laguna/thunder hill/sears point yet?

Signed up for Laguna on April 3rd. I'm excited. Time to burn off the star specs....and change back to the less loud exhaust.

[Bimmerman325i]

Eric-- No, still haven't had time. Car's running well now but I'm just swamped with schoolwork so the car stuff has gone on the backburner.

Brad-- Buddy clued me into it, it's super useful for seeing what my hands are doing when I'm thinking about other things. Fun view too!

Awesome! I like the camera placement with the sunroof open.

Bump. First autocross with new headers, exhaust, and tune. Still no clue what power it's making, but it's definitely a noticeable bump relative to the stock exhaust.



pay no attention to the last corner, I botched it on this run. Other runs were clean there but sucked elsewhere.

[Eric]

looks cool!

The track day was great fun. I had some friends out with cameras so here are just a few shots. Fisheye lenses are fun.









They have some BMW pictures too, but I will gather those up later.
