View Full Version : Anyone going to Auto X Test and Tune Saturday (8/9)?
MaxxChris 08-04-2008, 05:43 PM Anyone going to be there? Im planning on going, it will be my first time at any auto x or driving event and im really excited! Trying to get everything with me and the car in order last minute though haha. I have a question for those of you who have been to one, what can I do with all the stuff in my car? I'll leave as much home as I can, but things like a quart of oil, etc. that I like to keep in there? I friend of my who is also on the forums and is a BMWCCA member is going to come to watch and hang out, how will it work for him, where can he park? Hope to meet some of you there!

Raxhel 08-04-2008, 10:47 PM I'll be there!! You can pretty much leave your stuff, no one will touch it. Make sure to leave your floor mats at home! Your friend, if he brings a helmet, can pretty much jump in with anyone willing to take him. Which most people are :)

Sounds great! Really no floor mats either? I suppose that makes sense, eliminates the possibility of jamming them under a pedal or something, its good to be extra safe. Thanks for the info, I cant wait to get there. I'll look for you in a red 135i I take it? Looks like a fun car, should be a great day!

savage217 08-05-2008, 07:42 AM I've gone to two events and havent taken my floor mats out nor cleaned out my glovebox.

Are you a BMWCCA member? If not, become on - if yes, then register with the Boston Chapter. You'll have access to the website which will list all events, and you'll also get email blasts if you choose.
The Roundel Magazine alone is worth the 40 bucks a year.
MaxxChris 08-05-2008, 09:59 PM For anyone thats been, it says it starts at 8a.m. does that mean gates open at 8?

The one I went to in July, they had us take out floor mats, that's why I mentioned. um... I think we got there around 7:15ish. You can get there early so you can set-up/clean-out/ and tech your car. It's also fun to see what other cars show up. btw, yeah I have a red 135 :) I think there might be 2 of us in the Sedona Red that show up though.
ESMcBlurM3 08-05-2008, 10:34 PM Shit - I didn't schedule any lessons for Saturday. Where's this at?

Ok sounds good, ill leave my mats at home to be safe. The names Chris, and ill probably be the only Avus Blue car there (usually am at shows and meets) I'll be sure to say hi.
McBlur, its at Devens...
ESMcBlurM3 08-05-2008, 11:25 PM i might come up and just hang - bring a helmet and get a few rides...
dave96dcm 08-06-2008, 08:49 AM I will be there doing early setup, I plan on getting there 6:30 ish, gates open then, please don't get there any later than 7:15 - 7:30 latest, that way you can get teched and ready for the meeting and you won't hold anyone up.
MaxxChris 08-06-2008, 11:12 PM Sounds good, I just got the email with all the Day of Event info today.
