February 2nd - NASA Autocross - Richmond

[Jake]

Much fun was had. Waiting on results still, but Dan and I had a great day and he may have even come close to (or beaten?) my best time - very impressive for a first-ever event for him!

We had two E36's go down... the blue one spun and could not get the motor restarted. Not sure as to why, but he had to be towed home Felton did an impressive job getting him off the course, though:



The other E36 spun and very, very gently tapped one of the big oil recycling thingers off in the grass. He got a ding in his driver's door, but no significant damage. Just an unfortunate place to go for a ride.

The course was pretty fast, great fun for the E36 chassis and even the higher-horsepower cars looked like they were having fun. That can be difficult at some autocrosses when they get really technical and the 400 hp cars can't run out all their power. Not so here.

Props to Jon, Nichole and Zach for a great day!
