I have been autocrossing my 74/2.0 for quite some time, but last week, I joined the BMW club at a driving school using 10 year old tires. I spun a lot, but the problem is that everytime I spun, there was a lot of smoke but no leaks and the gas pedal would stick until I shut the car off. Any idea why this would be happening? After 5 spins, they told me that I had to get new tires or I can't be on the track anymore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I think they were afraid of being embarassed!

Any idea why this would be happening? did you spin the motor backwards? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

However, once I shut it off and restarted, I was fine. gears don't matter ... if you spin and go backwards and you don't put the clutch in, the tires will *force* your engine to spin backwards ... there's the old saying: "if you spin, both feet in" (that would be the clutch and the brake) ...
