To do it well, and be in the top (5), autocross is MUCH
harder in my opinion. Why? At the track you can pound at it
relentlessly...lap after lap and refine your line/technique, etc. At the=
Autocross, you haveta get it right on the first run - every time. No two=
layouts are the same. It requires razor sharp thinking and near perfect
reflexes to pull it off successfully. =
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Razor sharp thinking, near perfect reflexes???????
com'mon, I agree, it is tought, but it is tougher on your transmission an=
d
clutches.
You have one shot, maybe two a day, at 1:10 SECOND A LAP. SAY YOU =
DO AN AUTOCROSS 12 TIMES A YEAR, THATS 22 MINUTES OF DRIVING =
A YEAR. WOW, THATS A TON OF SEAT TIME.
DONT GET ME WRONG, AUTOCROSSING IS GREAT , BECAUSE ITS RACING
AGAINST THE CLOCK, AND YOURSELVES, BUT i JUST PREFER THE DANGER
AND THRILL OF DOING ALL THAT AT OVER 135 MPH AT TIMES. GO TAKE AN OFF
RAMP AT 130 SOMETIME, TRAIL BRAKE, TAKE THE LINE , SLOWLY PUSH BACK ON T=
HE
GAS, NOW THAT IS EXCITEMENT.
autocrossing is merely 'flicking cones'...... I have a proposal.

Im champ of my car club, =
I know my car, and I can handle it. Needless to say, he took a 80,000
dollar car and ended up =
with a 3 wheeler. (well all 4 wheels were there, its just some were not

Dat's right. PIZZAFEST.
Back to New Jersey. October 1999. Mark Nernburg's Pizza. Atlantic City=
Convention Center - (the have the International Porn Star and Toys
Convention there, early October - for real - yes, only a true PizzaFester=
can appreciate what that means).
You fly out. You bring your ERAM and your helmet. =
I will let you <-grimace-> install YOUR ERAM on my M3. Then we'll go fin=
d
a dyno and in front of 150 or so Digesters, we'll see it run. Then,
afterwards YOU get to 'flick cones' in my car at the autocross that we wi=
ll
have. You'll even get to meet the 'pencil-necked geek'
(markkibortisanidiot@domain.elided) and discuss real time personal
relationships with him! I can set it all up. For real.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>I love you guys, you would do that for me??????? when do we=
do it????
Then , we will rent mustangs and go to Watkins Glen!!!!
All YOU have to do is this: 1) Get an airline ticket and a hotel room
(optional but highly recommended), and 2) If the dyno sez you're wrong,
you must SWEAR on the Holy Bible to never say ERAM on the Digest again an=
d
you get a new e-mail program. =
>>>>>>>agreed!
You'll be the Guest of Honor at PizzaFest and will be swarmed with HOOTER=
's
lasses. If you want to bring MORE ERAMS for other BMW's, I'll line 'em up=
... tell me what kind you want. I'll even try my darndest to have Jim
Conforti there. Your ERAM proves out in front of God and Country then
we'll sing your praises and all buy one.
So there you go. =
We'll show you a wild 72 hours of fun - you show us your ERAM. And your
autocross techniques. I'll set it all up. Whaddyasay? Here's your chanc=
e
to show us it all works and its 9 months away...plenty of time to plan.
