AutoX Pics/Video

Ok guys here is what I got. I just uploaded everything to my facebook, so there are a few random ones in there. Right now the Video is encoding... so that link will be up once its done.

Unfortunately for me, My friends who are good w/ the camera did not come... so the pics of me in the 32 are quite bad. I guess they were intimidated by the DSLR and did not realize they could actually get quite close to the finish line. NE way I hope everyone enjoys.

Cant wait till we get the 1/4 mile track day set up.

Looks good Corrosive, but give me a break with the blue tape
A good coat of wax is all that is needed.

Auot cross speeds don't generate enough damage to justify it, IMHO

Heck only a few sissy boys, p cars, do that at beaverun

See yeah

Lol. Ya ya... White though and I figured I would hit some cones and get some nasty black cone damage. Plus the gravel that gets kicked up... There were little holes in the tape. I am glad that I had it, yet I agree... Overkill by far.

I used to use the blue tape, especially for track days, but it just blows off at speed. In the autox crowd cone marks are a badge of honor. Means your cutting it close instead of playing it safe.

In some road racing clubs, it's mandatory over the headlights to keep glass/plastic off the track in case of stone breakage.

Some make it a fashion statement, though.

Yeah at Bimmerfest last year I think it was, my friend's E46 had the rear bumper fly off while driving there, so he blue taped the thing back on. I think he literally had it on there for a few months. If you've ever lived in a dorm, you know just how many uses blue tape has haha.

Corrosive: That's pretty sweet, I really need to find an auto-x club in my area this summer. There were quite a few people with C32's at school also, never met up with them though.
