This weekend I raced with the NY SCCA for an autocross event and Mirokhana race. I placed 2nd in the autox missing 1st by only .01 seconds! Here a few photos compliments of Kevin Markland Photography. Awesome shots and great coverage!!!












Here is also a video I put together from the event. Let me know what you guys think! :hbang2:

There was also a guy there filming on his own. Here is the video that he put together. At 40s you can see me ripping through the course, 3:26 a little 3 wheel action and 4:15 my spin out lol... it was 1st lap getting used to the new rear sway bar in a slalom.

Keep up the great work joe your looking good and getting better everyday bro! +100000000000!

 

Thanks guys. You have built one hell of a car here for me!

 

Congrats on the good finish!

I almost made this event when I heard they cancelled the one on the road course at the last minute, but I was too far away (Avalon, NJ) for me to justify the drive (3+hrs) up there. Maybe next time...

 

Thanks man i appreciate it! I am thinking about registering for the August 14th at the meadowlands... you going to that one?

 

nope, I'll be doing an HPDE @ NJMP... you should come with instead of doing the meadowlands. TONS more seat time and Lightning is an awesome course.

 

Yeah i want to do an HPDE but it would be my first one ever. Are they running H1 those days for the novice guys are is it just H3/H4. And since im not a NASA member yet isnt cost on that expensive?

 

NASA site says Lime Rock CT for the 14th of August... and only H3-5 can race

 

its not NASA, its the BMW CCA, you don't need to be a member and yes its catered to novices getting started.

Here is the link for more info:

cost is $450 for 3-days with an instructor, but they have 1 and 2 options available.

 

An Evo in its elements, very nice

 

Thank you kind sir! Its amazing how i compete with fully built and tuned cars with my stock suspension... These cars are great out of the factory. I cannot wait to do a coil over system and put up some great numbers!!

 

When you install your coilover make sure you corner balance as well

 

That, and it's amazing that you're getting such good results with street tires (ones that aren't top tier, at that).

 

Thank you sir! Yup just BFG Gforce T/A KDW's that are 255/35/R18's A decent street tire for DD but not the best for an Autox..
