Default BMW CCA may 17th results up

THanks to all that came out. We had about 50 cars. 8 runs. No rain. So all was well,

http://fscbmwcca.org/results09.html

It was a really good course with 3 areas where the driver needed to make a choice. Thanks to Dennis for the course design. I know its a good one when Danny comes back in from his 2nd run and says he is having trouble deciding what way to enter the slalom.. etc.. He still got FTD. but it took him a while to figure it out.

Thanks Mars for coming out and taking photos. Cant wait to see them.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

This video just reminded me, WAY too many cones on this course..... at speed choosing where to place the car in a few places was very difficult, especially the return portion of the course.... all fast....... the number of "off courses" speaks for itself.

It could have been challenging without being unnecessarily hard to read.
