Yeah, uh... ditto? I totally forgot to register. Ken did, and I need to be in the other half of the heat from him.
Puhhhleeze? :)
Just wanted to say thanks for doing this for the past few years Pete (and Eric, and Adam and Bogdan and .. everyone else). I'm sure it can be an extremely thankless job.
See you at the event. ...
As usual I will be there and have Adam register me at the very last minute, only to decide not to run so he has to take me out. :)
There's no drama here. I just want to seriously understand the reasoning by which a 335 is classed UP from a Z4.
Woody: no, I mean "Showroom."
The 335 was put into "Showroom M." I find this strange, because the Z4 3.0 / 3.0si is in "Showroom" and the Z4 is, by far, the faster car around an autocross...
The best car for "Showroom" is the Z4 3.0i / 3.0si. One of those would absolutely annihilate a "Showroom" 335i. Hell, it's a better autocross car than an E36 M3 and probably better than an E46 M3...
I'm still confused about the 335 being put with the M cars. Can someone please explain the rationale?
Wow, the 335 follows the E46 M3? That's insane.
I think I'm gonna go petition the SCCA to let the E46 M3 into F Stock. :)
Even better, why don't we create a unique class for each year and model of BMW? Sure, we'll have 18,000 classes, but that way, everybody wins!
A 335 will have no chance against an equally prepared and driven E46 M3 around an autocross course.
The SCCA put the thing in F Stock for chrissakes and none of those folks are at all concerned...
I doubt they have any plans to ever repave that lot, especially since their other lots are, uh, gravel and dirt.
Results?
I think that would have been better, but there was a bit of miscommunication on my part with Ken so it got changed. I think it wound up okay, but what I had in mind was definitely different.
Now...
Yeah, Neil's car felt great as always, wish I wasn't driving with my head up my derrierre. It's definitely set up for a roadcourse, though - very "tight" for that small of a lot.
Me. The two boxes at the end of the slalom were really awkward and didn't flow well. Or I was driving them wrong. Maybe both.
What, nobody's gonna complain about the course? Where's Kevin when you need him?
LOL.
I had a great time, drove like shit, but had a great time.
Wish I could have stayed longer but had to get some GOLF in.
The X-class says "non-BMW." The MINI is a "non-BMW." So IMO the MINI is X-class legal. :dunno
Your other option is to let me run the Boxster in the MINI class. :D
Hey Pete,
Sorry, was not ignoring your phone call. I've been tied up with family stuff for the past several days.
Shoot me an e-mail if you need to discuss autocross scheduling stuff.
Fixed your post.
Is there anything that shows the current class standings?

. :)
Do you know where I ended up in PSS?
Better yet - keep your late braking and ALSO get on the gas earlier. That's what I've been strugging with recently.
Anyone is welcome to ride with me at any time (not SCCA events) but you may...
