I'm aiming for around 10:15 to 10:30 meet up time.
Paul, are you ready for autocrossing in the M ?
not yet, need to get some suspension work done first. owning 3 BMWs is getting quite expensive :DQuote:

Yes, it won't be a problem. Just bring $$$ on Saturday. It's not like you haven't been to our events before!Quote:

I'm running my twin of yours on a stock suspension. Man-up and do it! :tongue:Quote:

Oh, btw: just got some new rubber: Pilot Sport PS2's on the front and A/S's on the rear. Should hold pretty well now even though they're not track tires.
PAUL ... I know you are reading this ... THERE IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO AUTOCROSS!!! i promise you that you won't live it down if you are too big of a chicken to do it.Quote:

I've just added you to the autocross list. See you on Saturday.Quote:

Silly question, and not that I need any more T-shirts, or food, for that matter, but are they included in the autocross "registration" of $25 for members? Or do we also need to do the general registration?
I hope there will be enough room for the autocrossers to park. If you need help, I'll volunteer to help with course set-up/chalking cones, etc. If so, what time should I be there (it's been a while since I've done a club event)?
See you all Saturday.

Paul, I'm sure I can autocross that noise right out of the car for you. :wink:
Actually, ride with me in the 2nd heat and then drive yourself in 3rd heat. What could possibly keep you from wanting to drive? You MUST autocross!

See you out there Saturday Brian.
