Going autocrossing at Tire Rack this weekend. Just thought I'd shout out to see if anyone is close enough to get out there and tear some s*** up with me. Wouldn't want to be the only MP3 there showing them what she's got!! Should be fun. Two guys that work for me are also going, one with his M3 and another with a Probe (Eibachs, Koni's, 18's, etc.) I guess it's a pretty big weekend there. Sat. and Sun. You can only go one day if you wish. Let me know.

Have you run before? You should be in STS, right? Just wondering what your results have been.
You should school both the M3 and the Probe, no matter what they have done. I regularly clobber both in the regions I attend. The probe runs STS and the M3 SS. I am still in stock.
Good Luck. I'd go (I love schooling M3s) but I'll be at Mid-Ohio for the AMA superbike race. (Press Credentials

Check my autocross results in my sig. I have tire pressures and everything for the stock tires listed. (Yes, I've been running the Dunlops for racing too)
Temperature and sweepers have a lot to do with it. If there is a big right or left hand sweeper at high speed, I usually put an extra pound or pound and a half in the outside front tire. As the outside temps have gone up, I've been up around 52-54 PSI in the fronts. I leave the rear at about 35ish. Keeps it loose so I can throw the back around when I need to.
Brake only when going straight if possible, and do it late. These cars have amazing braking power in a straight line. If you're turning and braking hard, you'll be in a 4-wheel slide pretty quick.
Maintain as much speed as possible without getting too sloppy.
Most of all, have fun! It's a great sport and you meet a lot of cool people!
Good luck, and ask anything you need to. Always here to help.
