Agreed.

I've had TONS of fun autocrossing rental cars... almost more fun than my own... for the simple fact that the car pushed, slid, pitched, rolled, everywhere...

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Actually, she will be testing her new ride. A Brunton Super Stalker! I am sure there will be a bit of a learning curve... but it will be a fun one!


We just got it home tonight. Shipped from AZ. Been chomping at the bit all week!

Are you going to make it there?

Mary freakin rules! Please tell her that for me.

Long gone are the days of "I'm just here to watch and give support."

Won't be on that coast for a long time unless Vivek decides he is going to autocross with the BMW club in July. He brought the GXP last time and had fun with it. And everyone thought the Camaro was big ... lol.

Maybe I'll see you guys there and I owe you a bottle of syn

Man she is going to have some fun with that!

Yes, I believe those watching days are officially over. The bug has bitten! Don't worry about the oil. I may need to borrow some down the road.

We are signed up for the July BMW event. Hope ya'll make it. Meanwhile we are trying to figure out how to get both cars in the trailer for the upcoming FAST event!

Mr. and Mrs. Snookwheel, please color me green! Awesome ride you've got there.



Registration for this event is open until 10 pm tomorrow night. If you miss the deadline, you can sign up on-site - but get there early to save a spot.
Signup that morning will close at 9 sharp.

If you need someone to drive a car down for you, I'm available

why not rent one of those two car trailer things?

However, I did see a truck in Georgia, towing another vehicle on a single axle dolly... and that vehicle was towing another with a tow-hitch.
