Default BMW auto-x

Hey guys, I was curious if anybody has autocrossed at the BMW plant before and knows what the surface is like. I'm trying to see how I should have my swaybar set.

Thanks and maybe I'll see you there.

I've run there a couple times on pretty smooth asphalt. Rumor has it though, we're going to be running on a different lot this time. I hear it's a little bigger with less curbs. No idea what the surface is like though. If I were you, I'd just take the sway bar off! Oh, and make sure you have at least 50psi in the rear and about 30-34psi up front!

Yeah right.

It'll be nice not having the pressure of a divisional on my shoulders. Maybe I'll be more myself. Oh, I got some new tires I'll be scrubbing in. After 2/3 of a season, the Kumho's chorded and died.

57 on the list right now. How many do you think will show up on Saturday?

I'll be there as a non-member, registering on Saturday morning.

d00d, where's your car? You don't need mine!

Glenn, my guess would be ~100 people will show up. That's been about the average, I think.
