View Full Version : Rosecroft Autox Sunday 10/24 Bahnbaum 10-20-2004, 12:19 PM Who's gonna be there? Alex Jed 10-20-2004, 12:31 PM me... (I'm kinda autox-ed out at this point though...) magnetic1 10-20-2004, 12:34 PM where are the darn results from the last BMW one. You guys are lazier than us Salazar guys :) nick325xit 5spd 10-20-2004, 12:38 PM I might show up. Bahnbaum 10-20-2004, 12:46 PM I'm kinda autox-ed out at this point though... Well, my wife is kinda autox-ed out at this point. Let's see.... Landscaping is a mess, grass is way overdue for fertilizing, boat still needs to be winterized, garage is a federal disaster zone, everything non-BMW needs a winter waxing, deck was supposed to have been powerwashed and sealed (at least I powerwashed about 3/4s of it), never did dig those french drain trenches, and I'm sure I'm leaving lots out. :help Alex AlfaEric 10-20-2004, 01:02 PM where are the darn results from the last BMW one. You guys are lazier than us Salazar guys :) It was the last event of the season... Give it some time so the final points can be verified. :rolleyes They should be up before next season. Don't worry. :stickoutt ---Eric AlfaEric 10-20-2004, 01:06 PM Let's see....

The most I do in the fall is spray/seal it. ---Eric Neil 10-20-2004, 01:16 PM where are the darn results from the last BMW one. You guys are lazier than us Salazar guys :) Eric - I didn't stick around for final heat, but *think* that you held onto FTD. James Sheridan and Bill Brochu had faster raw times, but both coned. Believe that Fatih was second fastest overall with a 53.8xx and I may have come in third with a 54.0xx. Neil sunir 10-20-2004, 01:20 PM Rosechunk here I come ;) :devillook ! So did they change the surface or is it the same as I remmember it from '02 :shifty ? jkuper 10-20-2004, 01:29 PM Rosechunk here I come ;) :devillook ! So did they change the surface or is it the same as I remmember it from '02 :shifty ? No, it's worse :) sunir 10-20-2004, 01:31 PM No, it's worse :) whoa, OMG :eek: ...that's :eyecrazy !! Jed 10-20-2004, 01:57 PM Sunirry- You should bring the car out and just do one for the heck of it. Last week some dude brought out his ITS 325 and ran it. jkuper 10-20-2004, 02:05 PM Sunirry- You should bring the car out and just do one for the heck of it. Last week some dude brought out his ITS 325 and ran it. Yep, he was loud and slow :D Jed 10-20-2004, 02:14 PM Yep, he was loud and slow :D I didn't think that a 58 sec time was super slow. jkuper 10-20-2004, 02:18 PM I didn't think that a 58 sec time was super slow. I was kidding, I don't even know what times he ran. I think my best run was 61.6 which is not too bad for that car and tires. Brian Hair ran 60.4 in it, his first run. :help Jed 10-20-2004, 02:23 PM I was kidding, I don't even know what times he ran. I think my best run was 61.6 which is not too bad for that car and tires. Brian Hair ran 60.4 in it, his first run. :help My best run was during my fun runs. :mad I ran a 56.9. Ken and I were saying how it sucks to have your best time as your fun run. Less to think about I guess. jkuper 10-20-2004, 02:33 PM So was mine....Sure, I mean it's also the 4+ attempt at the course as well. Bahnbaum 10-20-2004, 03:03 PM My best time was a 58.6 in the kinda damp second half of the second heat. I also ran in the third heat and I think my best time was a 57.3. It was dry, it was my 5th or 6th run of the course, but most importantly I had someone in the car pointing out what I was doing wrong. THAT made a huge difference for me. Alex Jed 10-20-2004, 03:04 PM Yeah, the guys that ran in the rain got the shaft. Bahnbaum 10-20-2004, 03:07 PM Yeah, the guys that ran in the rain got the shaft. Luck of the draw. Remember Rosecroft earlier in the summer? I ran in the dry, and then got to watch everyone else do the Boatocross. Alex bren 10-20-2004, 03:12 PM I ran in the rain at both of those events :mad Still managed to pull out a fast time last weekend though :dunno: bren 10-20-2004, 03:13 PM Sunirry- You should bring the car out and just do one for the heck of it. Last week some dude brought out his ITS 325 and ran it. It sounded like the guy was spinning his tires the entire way around the course. Probably not the best idea to use track compound R comps on cold damp asphalt. bren 10-20-2004, 03:14 PM Isn't that what kids are for? :confused :stickoutt :lol Bahnbaum 10-20-2004, 03:17 PM Still managed to pull out a fast time last weekend though :dunno: No question. A 56.xx on street tires when it was still damp. What body part did you pull that out of? :eek: :) Alex Pino 10-20-2004, 03:20 PM whos running this one, is it the PCA again?? i really really love these events but it seems only NCC or anything with the BMWCCA allows me :( vjlax18 10-20-2004, 03:23 PM I ran a 56.5 IIRC on cold tires before I noticed my car was broken again. :( Jed 10-20-2004, 03:31 PM It sounded like the guy was spinning his tires the entire way around the course. Probably not the best idea to use track compound R comps on cold damp asphalt. Plus he's most likely running a really short ratio, like a 3.64 or 3.73 gear in that car. bogdan 10-20-2004, 09:22 PM I'll be there Sunday. :) Last Council autox of the season, have to make it count. :D Jed, I take it that you still want to co-drive. :) p.s. My best time on Saturday was a 57.2xx with Woddy "My other car is also Gay," Hair. :D sunir 10-20-2004, 09:33 PM Plus he's most likely running a really short ratio, like a 3.64 or 3.73 gear in that car. sheesh you autox guys take this stuff way too seriously, talkin' 'bout gears, r-comps, rain times vs. dry n' stuff :devillook ...the guy was probably just looking to have some fun :) ...road course cars are not set up for autox and vice versa... my car will probably be slow out at rosechunk also...but who cares, If I brought it, it'd be for fun.... if I don't bring it, I may need to codrive someone elses...anyone up for it ;) ...um Bogdan or others :stickoutt MWhip 10-20-2004, 10:11 PM I look at it as fun myself ;).......maybe cause I suck at it....but I have a lot of fun. Pino 10-20-2004, 10:21 PM so can anyone tell me? PCA or NCC/BMWCCA run event? bren 10-21-2004, 08:43 AM so can anyone tell me? PCA or NCC/BMWCCA run event? Neither.

Sunir- That was my point. :rolleyes Was that he is running road course gears... That the car wasn't an autox car. Plus most who go to a BMWCCA is there for fun anyway. Any real hardcore competition is at SCCA. He did well considering the car was optimized for road racing and not autox. |
