Yeah, I wish I could see xome pics of my runs like that. I don't think I make good use of the whole track. :(

I usually end up getting that close and clipping the cone with my rear tire :(

John had a good idea last Friday...

CURBFEELERS! Softly sprung, of course, so that you don't actually knock the cones over on your first run.

:D

I don't know if you guys got to see Ken run (Silver E46 M3) on Saturday or not. He did the top section (straightaway right after the start) absolutely perfectly. Each pass, his rear tire would just barely miss the cone base. And he's done about three / four events!

I always set my seat so I'm as high as I can be in the car without my helmet hitting the roof. Makes it easier to feel the corners of the car.

I don't know how close I typically am to the cones, but on Saturday the cones that I hit were the ones I wanted to be right on top of (except for one that I plowed right into... stupid.) The only time when hitting cones makes me happy!

I thought I knocked over a couple of cones, and even heard the cones, but only hit one I think. :dunno

It's an E46.5 because I upgraded to the painted corners. Good for .0001 seconds on the auto-x course! :biglaughb

That straight section after the start was a blast. It was *just* wide enough for my tank to fit through.
