Last Sunday, I posted the results for the three E28s that participated in a joint Sandlapper/Peachtree Chapter autocross at the Michelin Proving Grounds in Laurens, SC. Now here are the pics!

Dave Kan (of the 5-speed swap page fame):

My new autocross nemesis, Ryan Rissler:

Me on the starting line:

Me in the middle of the slow turn at the end of the fast straight, where lots of folks spun out. Yes, my car did roll a lot!

Me coming out of the aforementioned turn. While this might not appear to be the ideal line, note the skid marks to my right. You can't tell it from this pic, but my back end was starting to swing 30 degrees to the right (note my head tilting into it).

Big fun was had by all!
