Those were some great times you ran Lester. Congrats!

I forgot to mention that if you ever would like to drive the car for back to back comparison with you car, you are welcome to take it for a spin... I don't mind one bit. I would be a little disappointed if you didn't give it a good rogering as well... I want to here rubber in second gear!

Anyway, I am excited to hit another autoX soon. As always, the biggest limitation was me, the driver. I definitely have a ways to go to improve my autoX times. It was very, very different then the road track driving schools I have attended.

I have some BBS RC's with Kumho R compound rubber coming in May, so hopefully by then it will be time for them... right now I just need more seat time with my current rubber.

Looking forward to our next run in,
Doug
: Nice to meet you.

: That was a ninty pound pull on the shift from first to second. I'm impressed!

: I like what you have done to your car. It all seemed to go togeather nicely. I wish we had more time to talk. You seemed to have gone down the same road I intend to make modification wise.

: Please let me know about the camper bolts. Where do you get them? I'm also interested to know if they cause excessing tire wear in the next thousand miles or so.

: This autocross was an trial run for me also. This was my first autocross with BGF TA R1's on the car with my new borbet type T rims. I liked the wide shoulder on the tire. The car seemes to be very responsive to steering imput. The tire really held in the corner, allthough I did undresteer twice when I hit the hairpin turn to hot.

: Since you posted your times, I did a 42.203, 42.699 and 41.996 in that order. The first two were with a passanger. No cones this trip.

: We had a very nice Z3 turnout. I did not count but I think we have close to ten at this autocross. They all ran well and posted good times.

: Take care and I look forward to running with you again.

: Lester, in a tired 1999 ///M Roadster (or maybe it is just me that is tired!)
