Iraqi autocross season starts..

I E36 M3 you not.

The "Iraq Autosport Club" (well, that's what the officials' vests say) holds a Euro-style gymkhana in Bagdad:

I found one of the club founders' youtube page, but there's not much on it yet..`figure eights' in his 4-dr E30.

The next time I complain about having to take the daily instead of the prepared car to the autocross, or about how slow I am, or how expensive tires/parts/etc. are, I hope one of y'all will slap me upside the head...

there are alot of American muscle cars for an iraqi autocross...

True, that...but I was just amazed that after all they'd been through, those guys still made the effort to go run. Talk about racing being an equal opportunity affliction...I wonder if the first hillclimbs in 1946 Europe looked like this.

Uhhh...gas was cheap over there before the war, you think they cared 2 E36 M3s about fuel economy. You'd be surprised the amount of large cars that are over there.

Hummers don't drift.

I beg to differ...

watch out for the IED in turn 3....
