Where in Seattle was the auto-x held? I'd be interested in the next one.

I, or rather the car, was all over the place; understeer, oversteer, sideways, too fast, too slow, too hot on brakes, too little brakes, you get the idea. My first run was just to get familiar with the course so I was driving like gradma, clocked at 51.555. Second run, too aggressive, had to make a complete stop before running over a cone(I turned the wheel to lock, but was still going straight), clocked at 55 plus change. I got the hang of it in the final run, got in with high 49's. As a reference of how bad I was, the other Z3 (2.8) was about 44, 45, and he too was skidding quite a bit. But over all I had fun, not sure if I'd do it again though. Maybe if I attended more of them, I'd get better at it.
