It may be my last free weekend before the 4th quarter takes over my life. This will give you a chance to see the fastest n54 in Wisconsin! Sounds like Jake wants to test this theory. It would good to see you at the event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspenceful Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I know he's just trying to ruffle feathers Neither of us are the fastest N54's in WI. David's 10 second 135i and a few single turbo N54s are definitely faster. We might be candidates for fastest stock turbo N54's tho! Autocross would be a driver's battle. It might turn into a driftfest for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted August 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Drift fest or not that track is fun (for being a kart track) I co-drove Brooke's Miata last time out and it was a blast. First time driving her car, they need another 120hp for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris3 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I ran the kart track in an autox event when Badger Bimmers hosted the BMCCA national Ofest at Road America several years back. Elevation changes add a different dimension than the parking lot autox. Must be a blast to run/race the track in a kart!

KaiserRolls Posted October 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 At least the cars won't overheat as easily. And I won't get fat kid sweaty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris3 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Cool air = fun. Happy engines with more power. If you're an autox addict, tires are the wild card though. Depending on compound and how they handle or need heat in autox conditions you can have bricks with less stick or on the plus side tires that get less greasy in back to back runs. For non addicts (you have no idea what tire blankets are, you think a plant sprayer is for plants, etc) it's all grins. Enjoy!

suspenceful Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I'm excited to participate in my first non-winter autocross. The 1-series will be sliding all over the place if it's cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsbimmer1 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I won't be making it anymore. I can't stand to be beaten by Kaisers girlfriend in a Miata!

I definitely could have been in the 40s on the last run but I let off throttle like 15 feet before the finish. Watched it on video and cried over and over. Glad you could make it. It was interesting watching your car try to murder you all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
