Mostly street use, since I daily drive it. I've raced it a ton, but since the majority of my hours have been logged on a drag strip or autocross course, that means I don't have a ton of racing miles. This past 10 months has had a good bit of road racing, though, so that ratio is changing...

Do you do mostly lap days with car clubs? I am think of doing that with the local bmw club.

I run with NASA in HPDE, and I've worked my way up to HPDE3. This weekend, I have another 2-day event with NASA, and on the first day I'll be getting evaluated for HPDE4. Once I get signed off, I'll be in the open passing group where I'll get evaluated for my Time Trial license. Between events, I just go to the closest road course and do open track days once a month for seat time. A group of us usually show up together and get some practice with lap timers.

20K is not bad at all. May it continue to serve you well.

After you're done racing, maybe it deserves a wash and wax.

Yes, but only because the autocross events are more frequent. We only have 5 total NASA events in this region this year, 2 of which are 500+ miles away, so I only get 3. That's why I do the open track days in between events. I autocross with SCCA in SM class as part of the RM region. It's fune, but a whole day for 4 mins of racing is nothing compared to 120-130 mins of racing at twice the speed...

When you were Rally-X'ing, what did you have the ACD set at? Try different settings to see the time/ feeling difference?

My last AutoX was in the rain and I set it to the Gravel setting... I actually noticed a pretty large difference in the car's handling when pushed 10/10ths. When just driving around, no way could I tell a difference, but when pushing the car hard is when I could tell the ACD was kicking in.

That's an awesome picture, btw. Who took it, do you know?
