Haha, looking at my times, I can infer the exact run that broke my suspension. Been having horrible knocking ever since leaving the event.
Also, I really hope that 89 325is in S3 isn't actually stock. I thought there weren't any stock ones left on the planet. Also, I don't exactly get it, I raced against this exact car in my very first autocross a couple years ago when it was in "Modified Sport" and I beat it in "Showroom B." Now you're telling me it has been reverted back to stock and somehow puts down a time over 2 seconds faster than me?
My times are missing. I was #107 in S3 of the a.m. heat. I ran first if that helps. Thanks!
Updated, With a guess at your first name
Brian is misclassed, im updating that right now
Phew. Showroom FTD is wrong.
Thanks to everyone, who organized this event!
Hi folks, really enjoyed the day...and I've never run better ... however I don't show up in your results: Miata, non bmw 4, Donne Marchetto, car #129 ... my best time that I saw was 37.5. thanks, Donne
I'm not shown, either, I was #11 Bob Hausmann
Event was fun. Probably the most exercise I've gotten at an autox running around teching cars then tracking down everyone in the morning session and taking down info with Phillip lol. Can definitely tell it wasn't a very BMW friendly course by the results lol. Still a good one nonetheless(for me atleast).
Agreed, you've done real well and improved a lot over this season Maria.
Here's video from my runs. I need to figure something out to kill wind noise or just take the hit and buy a go-pro...

I had fun at the Chapterfest. Kudos to those who organized and ran such a large undertaking.
In looking at the draft results, I am listed as DNS in X1. I ran my Vette with number 111, not 117. There is another car listed as 111 with times that look like the ones I remember seeing on the board by the stop garage.

I think my times are wrong. I wish I got 35.950,as I recall I dont think I broke 40seconds :frown:
name and car number [and car make/model for giggles
Lynch, #111, 89 325is
My times are missing. Number 34, 1st AM heat, black 2002 M3. Last name is Hunter. I was the third car off the starting line.
Thanks for finding my times - "Scott" is the first name (although my wife says she likes Steven better).
The times don't look quite right though. I'm pretty sure I got a couple of 38.9s and the last was 39.5 something. Won't change the standings in any case.
Car 107 in S3 for the a.m. heat.
Thanks.
I don't see my times. Car #69, last name = Bernadzikowski, sterling grey 2003 530i, 2nd PM heat (pre-registered), 3rd or 4th car to run. 1st run off course, 2nd run 43.x, 3rd run 42.x. No idea about runs 4-5. First time autox. FUN!

I should be class S4. Novice and no cones knocked over (that I am aware of)!
Tim
My times are not listed in this draft of the results. I was #318 in the first half of the PM session. T4, 1991 318i.

Anthony won FTD.....damn it....I should have come. Looked like fun....I'll be in next year.
I'm still missing too. I think I was 77? I'd be in there with a 36.1 DNF and an OFF or 2 lol
im sorting times as i type this, and in regards to the photos/video im hoping to have atleast 1 shot of all the cars up sometime in the next few days, but its a ton of uploading, not to mention sorting and organizing
Thanks for your effort, I cant imagine how much work it is.
Am I understanding the classing correctly that an S2000 on hoo hoo's is an X3 (Keep in my mind this is a B-stock car), and my 350Z on hoosiers (or any R-comp for that matter) is an X1 car? That is pretty ridiculous barring in mind that a 350z is a C-stock car. Just looking for clarification....
it seems to me that there were roughly 200 cars doing autox??? how can we know who won when half of the times are missing??? does anyone have a link to the class catgory definitions?
The SCCA classes cars based on the potential performance of a car that is fully prepared to the limits of the rules, whether Stock, Street Prepared, Street Touring, Modified, etc. At the beginning of the 2010 season, the National Capital Chapter wanted to increase the number of non-BMW classes from two to four. Lots of things were considered, but it was decided to base the four classes on engine displacement. A boost to the next higher class would be made for cars with forced induction, whether OE or aftermarket. A rotary (Wankel) engine is boosted one class. Use of R-compound tires would also boost the car one class. We have found that the winning cars in each of the X-car classes all have very similar times. The rules can be found on our website by going to Chapter Programs --> Autocross and scrolling down to Vehicle Classing and Other Rules - ->Read More.
I have said before that we could just as easily classed cars based on their color. Suggestions for different methods of classing non-BMWs are welcome. Just remember that we want around four classes and a system that does not require drivers or organizers to have a knowledge of SCCA rules.
The BMW X class rules aren't technically fair but what can you expect from a club that is really supposed to tend to BMWs? It is what it is.. In any class in any club( even more evident with ST class in scca with the killer '89 civic si's) one car will end up being the best for the job.. For what it's worth, Anthonys S2K is far from stock, he runs STR which is a street tire class but he had r-comps on for this event and killed everyone. One of the next closest time/car in comparison was Brian Hair in an STR Z3M(on street tires). For the sake of comparison on your car and his, I don't think(not 100% sure) that 350Zs are allowed in STR. SCCA puts them in the same class in stock form, but after that I *think* they part ways..
350Z's are legal for STR, but we can't compete on 255's in a weight compliant with STR. I know Anthony and his car pretty well, and realize it is quick. He actually co-drove my car at Cumberland a few weeks ago. Judging from the in car vids....my car would not have been as quick as his s2k on that course anyway.
Also, S2k's are B-stock and 350z's are C-stock (with the 370's).
Edit, I am a BSP car, and know all about 1 car dominance (cough evo 9).
The S2000 has; off the shelf KW’s, cat back (for weight savings no power increase) and a stiffer front sway bar. I was running NT01s on stock wheels. So the car is not really far from stock…
I would not worry about classing at this club, is not like you get anything anyway…heck I did not even get a shirt for this event. :icon_roll
we only have 73 cars timed, so no, there were not roughly 200 cars autocrossing, there were roughly 73. Secondly, the information, mainly the car numbers that people gave us, aren't actually what people put on there car, so i have 8 or so cars in my timing software that dont match up to any cars in our registration list, so im having to sort through all 2300 photos from the autocross and match cars based on the number of the car (number they actually put on there car that is) and what i have for my times, its a tedious and time consuming process, and i do apologize this didnt go as smoothly as prior events since i got my laptops mixed up, but i am sorting it out, but once again, its a tedious process to sort out the remaining cars.
apologies on my estimate of 200 cars. after i posted, i did alittle math, and realized that tha tmany cars times 5 laps each wodl haev taken much longer than 5 hours.
and we all can appreciate that it is a time-consuming and tedious job, for which I am sure we are all grateful!
I am pretty sure that I pre-registered with #69, and signed in on 10/30 on the paper sign-in sheet with that same number, which also matches the number on my side windows. I hope that helps. not trying to be pushy. I look forward to seeing my times posted when they are available.
LOL...the oldest BMW entered was one of the fastest, even running cheap street tires! I got tagged for two cones but don't recall hitting any or hearing penalties at finish. nor do i see any upset orange things in the videos of the runs.

but who cares...it was a blast. first time i have auto-x'd that car. maybe i ought to put the r-comps on and get serious about this parking lot stuff...;)
