First autocross of year at new Nationals site

The Nebraska region had the first autocross of the year on the Nationals site at Lincoln Air Park. I took a bunch of pictures, mostly of the heats I wasn't running...

Saturday: http://gotcone.com/pgallery/2009_aut...___tune___lap/

Sunday: http://gotcone.com/pgallery/2009_aut..._lap__points_/

A friend snapped a few pics of me driving my 135i and also of another 135 in our region. We were both running STU... I am in STU only because of 8.5" wide wheels in the front, so I was a little outmatched in the class and it was wet, so the STi and EVOs had an advantage for sure...









It was ashame it was wet both days as it was really hard to put the power down without getting a little sideways. The site and course were nice and big, should make for some good events this year.

Blessed concrete!!!

After suffering at Nationals on the "slickest asphalt in the world" this venue will be a welcome addition!

Should reign in the AWD advantage also (unless it's raining!)...

There is definitely some grip to be had on the concrete in Lincoln as witnessed by this photo I took this week at the Pro Solo



A ton more photos here: http://gotcone.com/pgallery/2009_aut...ro_solo___lap/

I didn't drive as I'd never been to a Pro before and kinda just wanted to see what it was all about. It looked like a blast, if you've never been to one if you get a chance you should definitely check it out. It is way different from any other autocross you will ever see...
