It's a combo of good brakes and tires, extra wide and sticky!
Here's my last run (12 Megs) before it started pouring down... I have no idea what my time was on that run. Man I'm rusty!

 

Great event, I was overdriving the new car on a few of the runs, after smoothing it out a bit, ended up with a 1:11...... I know I hit 73mph and could have pushed it deeper in that section. Think I still had more braking left than I gave it credit for

 

what speeds were you guys topping out on through that straight?

 

94ish indicated... i only looked down once.

 

I got near 80 in my Mazdaspeed Miata running stock boost.

I struggled to find the best settings for my coilovers, I hope to be faster next time.

 

the one time i looked was 85 indicated.
I was in the white crx.

That was my first time out with the BMW group...Super fast course.
On the fifth run, my try to carry more speed out of the crossover was rewarded with a one-and-a-half loop spin after the next gate. After which, as I crossed the finish line, I was met by one of the main organizers of the event. Expecting critical comments, I was instead told to go back for a re-run due to timing light issues.

 

only my second autox, first was a couple years back with the bmw group at z hills...i had a great time, a lot of amazing cars out. really nice course, quite fast, unfortunately for me, i have a really slow honda civic..the red hatchback. but hey, the good news i guess is with only about 85hp and 70tq( and 1 extremely long tranny) and weighing only about 2100 lbs i managed my first run at 115.5xx to my last run at 112.9xx..i was keeping up with most the others in my class..so i was happy about that..i have a run of mine im going to post later..no fast, but fun to watch..great meeting the ppl there..everyone was real nice and supportive..ill be at the next, and hopefully quicker

 

Thanks to everyone for coming out and sharing in on the hard work and serious FUN.

We apologize for the computer problems and manual timing. Sometimes those things happen. The BMW club is more about having fun and teaching people performance driving than serious competition.
Because of the timing issues, we were not able to post results at the time. Look to the website for results - www.fscbmwcca.org for results.

It was a blast. A challenging fast and slow course - I don't think anyone nailed the finish section. Sometimes to be fast you must go slow.

Thanks for the rocket ship ride - Jamal - do not change a thing - just get to some more events and enjoy.

See you at the next event,

Keith: Any idea when the results will be posted?
