Won my first autocross!
Entered the first autocross in Killeen, TX...usually a haven for show cars and wreckless street racing. And I won the RWD class!
So now I retire from autocross...undefeated! I will caveat this with the fact that I was going against a lot of GTOs, Camaros, and Mustangs. And there were a lot of inexperienced drivers.

Yup...one of the few sedans there...might have been the only one except for some subaru's. I'm really hoping that this is a regular thing. The closest autocross previously was 2 hours away...I'm not driving to 2hrs to an autocross. And while nowhere near as intense as a road course...its much closer, cheaper, and easier to sell to my wife!

Let's say the fact that I won should tell you a lot about the level of competition. But it's a local car club.

I feel like I've represented German engineering well!

Granted 2 hours is a long ways to go for an autocross. 2 hrs for a DE is one thing, but as much as I like autocross event, I don't see myself going 2 hours away for one unless i have something else planned in that area for the weekend.

Your tricks won't work. I'm retired and willing to be that I am the ONLY undefeated auto-x'er in the country!

I think to do it in real style, one has to complete the course, pull up at timing and let the wife and two kids get out of the car!

4 door sedans can be fun!! I used to autocross our E39 M5. It sounded great, but wasn't competitive. I got tired of losing to the wife in her E36 M3, so I ended up getting the M Coupe. Still lost to her for a year until I got sticky tires, and finally improved the driver.
