Bmw / Porsche Autocross

[kbmwm3]

Thanks to Barry and Chris and everyone else for all their hard work.

The Porsche / BMW challenge event was great. About 40 poeple showed up and took their shot at the fun and fast 40-60 second course.
We had five runs in the am before lunch break and another five after.

Thanks to Alann for letting me enjoy the MINI Cooper S. It is a fun car to drive.

Hope to see everyone at the next one in Zephyrhills in a couple of weeks.

Look forward to seeing the results and usual discussion that follows. Who won?

Take care,

As always, a very well run event that gave everyone a bunch of runs. Thanks to all those involved.

I hear the Porsche Club has a .01 second lead. (But I have not seen the individual numbers.)

Is there a name for this thing?
The Bavarian Challange?
The Uber Bowl?
The Pistin Cup?

The Uber Bavarian Brawl for the Pissed in Cup! :lol:

I think such an event should be finished with a keg of fine Bavarian Pilsner. Loser buys, of course. :D

Thank you to Dennis for letting me drive his BMW which survived me *sorry* and damn the cones I could have really closed in on your time.

Thank you to Keith for your instruction, I just needed that time to walk the track and bam got it :)

Barry and Kris do awesome work as always and thanks to Ralph for getting the PCA out in good numbers. I have to say they did look faster than last year.

I know someone who enjoyed launching his car alot. The starting kones had really nice tire marks by them. :dunno:

Barry, are the times posted somewhere?

Mark how disappointed was Ralph with your time in his car? :hehe:

Hi every one.. I will have the results posted by tomorrow.

Results were if you do all the averages.. 20 BMWs to the 13 Porsches the Porsche Club did a great job and pulled a 2 second if we average all the cars.
If we do a Top 13 BMWs to the 13 P cars they have a .01 sec lead. So again great job.. The BMW group will have to Make up some time on the 9th..

Im guessing it will be hard to make up the 2 seconds. Hmm we will have to get Spin to show us the course lay out.

I have the course for the 9th sketched on the back of a Wendy's napkin, but I only make suggestions, Ralph is in charge.

Z-hills has a lot of design limitations, so It is usually a simple course.
Right now the Napkin says: Diagonal slalom, sweeper, small slalom, turn around, 4 cone box, straight, slow down box, 3 gates, and the Corvette club ending.
See, it's totally worth coming to Tampa Racing for virtually useless insider information.

Chi town, Ralph was very cool about my use of his tires. I figure I used about $60 worth.
