Barring snow, I will be at a local event at our NEW site which has a surface very much like that of HPT!

The new AST 4300 "wave"? This is with new 6" Hypercoil fronts and 5" rears, new AST 4300s remote res shocks up front and piggyback remote rears.

Don't forget the new FairDesign flares, eBay mirrors, and M3 front clip! Next stop, body shop, mount the Sparco steering wheel and passenger seat, partial roll cage, what else?

Now that is grip!!! Suprising since those are 3 year old take off Hoosiers.

Btw, Terry was over a second faster than the STi on a very slick 30 second course. I think he had a 26.6 to my 27.8.

We took 230 pictures from the BMW club's 1st Auto-x of 2008. Click on the thumbnail to see a medium size picture, and click on the large picture to see a larger resolution picture. The original full rez pic is also available - hover your mouse over the large preview image and every available download size will pop-up: http://vorshlag.smugmug.com/gallery/4437165_zYBhM















Weather was great, event ran smoothly, and turnout was good. Other than the pivot cone I think everyone liked the course. And to answer a few questions we were asked by more than a few people: yes, our E30 has the stock 1.8L engine, and no, we won't be running every BMWCCA event in that car so we won't affect year-end class B points. Big thanks to the Lone Star officers that set-up this event and also to BMW of Dallas for coming out to not only support the club but enter an X3 and give demonstration rides to lots of folks. Good stuff.



Yee-ha! In the marbles!!!

Thanks,

I have to put my Paul filter on that one. Tell the truth Paul, how many cones did your run have??

Nope, that was true time as I logged it. The best I got was a 28.0(or.1) I think. I did run a 27.0 but that was with running the slalom the wrong way
