Possibly if replacement strut shows up.

Why don't you drive your e36? That thing was made for autox!

sweeeeeet.... do you want to go to early service before heading out there?

Chris... the E30 is MUCH better equipped for Auto-X duty... 2200lbs, 155whp, deep gears, and NT-01s....

I won't be there. I'm going down to KC for their autocross.

If it rains, I may end up at LAP though.



Mark your Calendars for Sunday July 15th!

I'll be event chairman for our autocross at Lincoln Southwest High School. This looks to be our biggest site currently and I will do my best to put together a fast/fun course.

I'm also working out the details to try for an autocross school on the Saturday before at LSW.

how in the heck is a high-school parking lot bigger than an airport/runway apron???? :confused

chances are not good for me to get a drive at LSW though...

EDIT... JULY 15th, (not june) is a zero-chance for me... wife is due july 5.

I might bring the boy down to watch for a couple hours, but otherwise, its a no go.

Maybe I should bring out my car to demonstrate the adverse effects of no damping on one corner? :eek:

Umm we don't get any airport or apron space.

Just a small concrete lot by the old Goodyear building.

It's not very big. Smaller than Mid America Center or Lancaster Event Center that we also use.

It is a great site FWIW. It's fun no matter where you run.. that's why I love the sport.

I just have a chance to go to KC with John B. and had to jump on it. I"m also selling some spacers to a guy in KC, so need to get those to him anyway.

Me - 44.2 (STX)
DH - 41.5 (SM)
Daniel (E30 owner that DH drove) 38.8 (SM)
