Houston BMWCCA Autocross for June

It was 91% humidity, and damp patches on the track but had a great time. I'm still running the stock PSS tires but soon to be changed out for the new Bridgestone RE71R's.

Clean driving. I switched from the PSS to the RE71R last weekend and noticed a big improvement. Good choice. You should see your times improve with the new tires.

I use a Sony HDRAS100V video camera, it has built in GPS and can be set to record and display everything when you edit. It automatically maps the track you run when recording.

Watching you weave through the tight autocross course, you can almost feel the size of the M3. It just looked like it was laboring through the tight cone sections.

It was a very tight course, the winning cars were hopped up Miata's and 135's. I'm naturally slow anyway, but they do tend to set it up for the light low horsepower cars. On the up side I beat 3 of the 4 Porsche's running, Boxter's and Cayman's.
