Default Autocross tomorrow!

So tomorrow im going to my first auto-x meet ever. Anyone here run their s4's in autocross often? I know im going to get spanked by every miata that shows up, but i cant wait.

One exciting twist is the 3-5 inches of rain were supposed to get tonight, hello quattro!

I wish i could do this!

I wish i had a camera but i dont so no video from the event. Im going with 2 friends, one is in his new e36 m3, he usedto have a newer 3 series. And my other friend in his civic daily driver.

This hurricane bullshit is dumping rain untill tomorrow late morning so i know its going to be raining or at least wet. AWD for the win.

I took my S to one earlier this summer. It was a blast. I blew off one of my IC hoses. I also got some minor scuffs on my bumper which I just got painted. If I go back I will be putting the blue tape all over my front bumper.

OOOHH then it will really be insane with RS6's.

Turns out to be a beautiful morning with sun, light breeze, not a cloud in the sky. No BMW's in sight....

I had tons of fun, the one seater track cars like the dragon sr2 ran about 55 seconds. All the fast cars or good drivers were in the low 60-65 second range including an EVO, lotus elise, STI, Z06, Miatas galore, and a couple s2k's. I ran 73.3 on my best run, which IMO wasnt bad for my first time. I know my car could have done MUCH better with a good driver. I just need practice

Needless to say i WILL be going back october 5 for the last event, then the 19th for a team event.

I kept getting comments like "too bad its not snowing" because of the quattro. Right off the top half the people there had hoosier slicks on their cars, then 90% on street tires had the same falken azenis RT-615's i have.

If your a car enthusiast, you gotta do this. I cant believe its taken me this long. I wanna take a trip down the east coast this fall to a nice road corse (VIR?) for a track day or 2. SOOOOO much fun.

I haven't done AutoX, but I have done Road racing:

My B7 A4 vs a Vette, 1G DSM, and an M3
