Entered in F class...

"you get an F!"

This month is a BEATING: raced today at Pennington, then next weekend's Walnut-450-miles-away-Ridge Pro Solo, then the following weekend at TMS, then the FOLLOWING weekend at the Houston Tour!!!???

Nuts... pure NUTS!

Ya, this month is a beating for sure. AND an expensive one at that.

I'm signed up in Z Class.

Remember, this event is capped, get in while you can.

Been really happy with my $75 315/35/17 GSCS, they wear like Toyo's...

Overheard in the pits:
"Toyo's suck, but they suck for a long time..."

Re: BMWCCA Autocross @ TMS Bus Lot April 15th

Y'all don't forget this event is capped, not sure how many they got right now.....

Great location, easy to get to, nice restaurants nearby and usually an onsite concession stand with expensive hot dogs/hamburgers.

Just 2 exits south there's a Schlotzsky's Deli, Dickey's BBQ, Snotty Pig Deli, and some other fast food chains.

They have real bathrooms and showers, too.

Surface really has no gravel, though it likes to make your R tires bark....

Re: BMWCCA Autocross @ TMS Bus Lot April 15th

Can one of you Bimmers bring your "jacking pucks" ?

I've heard they lock in place on the C5 Vettes and some people just leave them there...but I can't envision how it would lock in place, so I'd like to just see what it really looks like...

Otherwise my .99ct hockey pucks are working great....

Re: BMWCCA Autocross @ TMS Bus Lot April 15th

I don't think I have any pucks left, but you're welcome to pull one off if they're there.

2:53PM
3:38PM
4:02PM

Times could be off an hour maybe.

Hmm, good question. I don't know what other cars had the DL1, but mine is probably the 2:53 or 3:38. Just look for the crappy lines.

Re: BMWCCA Autocross @ TMS Bus Lot April 15th

Just looking through it this morning....

Paul: 1.07g
Terry: 1.08g
Sean: 1.00g
Dean: 1.10g!


I made a sway bar adjustment before Terry took the car. I guess either that or Terry driving "wheels off" is what beat you guys. I'll check the sector times and see. Obviously the tires aren't that much better.

Another favorite data point for Longitudinal accel:

Paul: 1.00g
Terry: 0.5g

Braking was nearly identical at 1.12g.

Oh well, we'll see how it goes when these tires wear out and I get new ones. Apparently it was good enough to do decently in my class.
