It's Wet and Slippery - AutoX Pics and Vids

[southpaw]

My first wet autocross.

Unfortunately, i was working the track as the torrential downpour existed.

Enjoy the pics/videos! (I'm too lazy to edit the pics, they're straight from the camera)

Great Pictures thanks for sharing, my son Adam has a few of other's cars besides just me in our car, I will get them from him and get them posted.

He wrote the ticket for no front plate, and as he was writing it, i remembered that it was in my trunk, and not at home.

as he came to give it to me, i told him it was in the trunk, i showed him, and he was like, well, just put it on when you get home, i'll get rid of the ticket.

super chill dude.

your car sounded amazing! I have a pic of your car, it is a little blurry though.

I'll try to clean it up.

This pic is full of win. E30, AND a Hungarian non-EU plate. FTMFW.

[southpaw]

And the fact that he's running 205s on 8.5s and 215s on a 9.5 on real Alpinas.

and autocrossing it hard.

I was too busy seeing a Hungarian plate to see these shortcomings (except for the Alpinas - and running it hard).

[LBMotoring]

do the O.J. gloves help your time? Do you usually drive a stick? I saw you reach for your Auto Dill to try to shift or something.

[southpaw]

I felt like i was goin 40 in a 65 in a white bronco.

I keep it in Manual mode so it doesn't shift until redline, but sometimes i have to blip the stick to down shift it into first, otherwise it just stays in second.

Nice shots,

I think out of every car there... I'd take that 135... thing is sooo clean with a hint of track bits.

[dirty30]

alex's car always reminds me of just how tough e30's can look. i mounted those tires on his alpinas, nice little stretch.

[feia0303]

always a fan of your car !!


looks like loads of fun.

i have yet to autocross one of my cars.. :P

[G328i]

Sick pictures man! Love that 135i!

I just have a few quick questions :

1. Was this your first event?

2. Im amazed at how much oversteer that thing dishes out. I did an autocross in my E90 328i and the drive was very balanced, and I never had oversteer as severe as that. Do you have all-seasons on that thing?

Regardless, awesome pics/vids, makes me wanna hit the track again! (Damn snow)

[SilverBims]

Wow great shots!

[99M3Riverside]

Nice shots.

[Geoff.T]

Thanks for showing me what I missed out on. Oh well, next month I guess...

[1fst840kid]

Haha its more than a hint of track bits steve! That thing is gutted like crazy inside. It was pretty cool to see the owner of tc kline out there though. Both 135's there where rediculously fast. Had fun spectating and I will be driving next months event
