It's a short course run by FAST (Fun Autocross Society of Tampa) held at the Law Enforcement training pad at Saint Petersburg College Allstate Campus. Here is the inside video, my GoPro on the roof was having some issues and kept turning off on its own: E63 AutoX in the WET!

Not bad. Did you modify tire pressure prior to your runs to help with understeer? Was that the instructor next to you?

Nice job for a first attempt and in the rain

And it is GREAT to see some one doing what these cars were made to do

Bump the fronts up to at least 40 PSI and drop the rears to 30 to help the dreaded under steer. Keep in mind that if you have to go up to 50 in the front, you are pushing too hard, or need better tires. Although in the rain, it wouldn't really help alot.

PS: Thats why I turned to road racing, 30 seconds later in an AutoX and you have to wait an hour before your next run.

I wasn't going to mess with the pressures (nitrogen filled), I just wanted to see how she would do stock, that's why I was ready to disengage the TC if it was dry; to power through that 'dump truck' effect. But with the rain, I left the TC on and just worked the peddle on the right.

No, just some guys that wanted to ride in a badass sedan. I used to race my Impala SS with the BMWCCA San Diego and it got a similar reaction. The Corvette & Porsche club wouldn't let the BeaSSt run with them. I did OK back in 2005 considering the Impy tips the scales at well over 2 tons! I placed 11 out of 74 in August & 9 out of 77 in November (less instructors).
