BSCC Autox #6 recap

Another summer weekend, another BSCC autocross. The weather was cloudy but dry, and eventually turned to sun. I go to BSCC autocrosses in Bremerton, WA with a big group of friends. The lineup this weekend was me in my 2008 G37, a 2008 Mazdaspeed3, 2007 STI Limited, 2006 NC Miata, 1996 NA Miata, and a 1993 FD RX-7. The course this time was absolutely brutal. Tons of ultra-tight slaloms, almost no really fast parts. Basically it was a Miata owner's wet dream.

One of my friends(in the NA Miata) decided to try putting my stickypod (www.stickypod.com) on his trunk and film a timelapse video of the drive there. It's pretty neat, you'll see the various other cars of our group come and go from view, and you'll see when we hit the fog and he gets cold. Check it out:

Here's a few more pictures of the drive there:
So far so good in miata #2


Jerod seems excited to hit 2psi of boost


MagmaticZebra spent most of the drive taking pictures


I spent it rocking out


Cruisin'


Cruisin' some more


About this time we hit a fog bank and temperatures dropped considerably. No problem for those of us with roofs, but the miata boys got a little cold




Luckily the weather brightened up a bit when we hit the Narrows




Chased down from behind by two miatas


Finally we arrived, here's the in-car videos and the view from the start:
