Outstanding, what was your itinerary?

Drove to Chattanooga Tennessee, then on to Cape Coral Florida. Spent a day in Naples at Cars and Coffee 239 and met up with craterface who lives in a neighboring town.
Went to many beaches and Too many restaurants. Lol Ate way too much. Visited sister and family and Brother and his family in Tampa was the main reason for the trip.
Totaled 2936 comfortable miles and not a single problem. Was a blast!

I'll be you were the only 50 year old car out there!

That is a fast course. . A tighter "parking lot" course would be tough in a long wheelbase car like our Bavs.

 

[Mot27cars]

Yes they said they sat this up long and fast at tire rack. Other times it’s short and quicker.

Yep only one! Lol. They loved it. And I was very competitive with other cars that were newer and in higher classification. A few I beat consistently. Lol. Maybe they were taking it easy on me. Lol

Is there an orange cone shortage in your area? I can imagine different times because people don't know which side of the cone to drive on. I guess the only autocross' I've seen were a lot more obvious with their layout.

 

[Mot27cars]

Oh there were plenty of cones really. Tire rack courses are pretty easy to understand.

Awesome pictures and video! I love the autox especially. Having spent the decade of the 1980s autocrossing a Bavaria, it brings back great memories. ST bars? 28/22mm? What else suspension-wise have you done?
