The local BMW club put on an Autocross last Sunday at the Brooksville-Hernando Airport (Florida). Very grippy surface and a fast course. Looking at the tach, I should have shifted into 4th on the return stretch. My speedometer seems to just wander above 3,000 rpm. Gotta figure that out. Still learning to drive this thing! My wife is getting FAST! She will be smoking me soon if I don't step it up!

Launching in second, running in third.

nice driving. She's hitting those slalom gates nice and early.

Thanks.She really enjoys it.It has brought out a competitive side in her that I have rarely seen over 25 years together! We have a two day event at the same location next weekend and then in two weeks, a two day event at Sebring.

After that, the car will be out of commission for a week or so while I change out the manual steering for a power steering setup. The 10" wide slicks are pretty tough for her to turn.

That is neet and way cool that your wife is into it.
Both of you seem to enjoy auto-x and the car.
