I had a great time out there today! It was a blast for sure. Big thanks to Danny for letting me ride shotgun in his boxster, that was amazing. Also thanks you Jeremy (WoRd) for riding along for my last run to give me some tips.


orange sentra se-r Was balls to the walls on all runs! I forget the driver's name- but def impressive!

 

It was fun but brutally hot and the old tarmac was very slippery. I ran in the 46's so I think that is good for the first trip in the subie to Auto-X.

 

zhills is like a rallycross in the sti, hope you drove accordingly!

 

Congrats Rosko on your Fastest "OTHER" award.
(And he hasn't even gone to an EVO school yet.)

As I mentioned to you yesterday,
THEY should really call it something like "OPEN" class.
Especially if they are going to hand out awards that you could display.
"Open Class Winner" would have looked much nicer on the award.

I missed the flight or the Porsche (darn), But I did see the landing.

P.S. I have a chair with your name on it. Did you leave your's behind?

P.P.S. Man, this is a messy thread.

 

Looks like I missed out on a fun event.

 

Thanks! I couldn't have been more excited to nip Jeremy by just a tenth of a second!

Have you ever seen a cat or a dog run real fast across a tile floor, then try to make a sudden turn? That's what my first run looked like yesterday. My point is that, after that, I enabled traction control - which I always disable at autocrosses. In this case, though, it saved my ass and made me look better than I am.

Note Danny's best run at 39.x, showing us what real driving talent is all about.

I've been to two other autocrosses at that site, and it never felt more slippery than yesterday. It reminds me of how good we have it at Brooksville.

Mark, I also support your "open class" suggestion. Maybe Barry or one of the other BMW / Porsche guys will note your idea. And, I didn't lose a chair. Whose name is on it?

 

"Open" doesn't indicate "No Porsches" accurately.

 

We actually consider it "D" class. Just because the BMWs run A thru C class. But it could be E class for everything.

Its easy to change.

Next event is at Brooksville, June 11th. Sign up at Myautoevents.com.

The BMWCCA events we dont give out any thing at the autocross but points. At the end of the year points= prizes. Last year was custom polo shirts with name/ place and class.

Yep I was the one at station 5 that the P car came after. Watched the prev car go past me since they were hitting cones at the last gate. THen heard the other cars tires break loose. He was heading my way but not moving very fast. It wasnt even a close call.

Barry

 

I saw Danny overcook a turn and plow through the second apex. First time I have ever seen that. I guess he is human after all.

I'll probably go back again, but those lights do suck.

 

Hi BAM,

I think you mean June 11
I Signed up today.

Also, Thanks for setting up the course yesterday. Fun Fun Fun.
