It looks like TeamWTF?! will be posting over 2500 pics from today's event. Let's see what we get first, pics uploaded to our website, or results from NCC...

Alex

Cool burnout contest!

Holy lots of pics.

Looks like Bogdan was having some fun.

I'd be willing to bet that you'll get pics up before Adam finishes results. :D

Thanks for letting me drive your car. Did you get a pic of my first run? I don't think the cars back and stayed behind the front the entire run. :stickoutt

Pete

2500? Seriously, wtf are you taking pictures of? The loose asphalt?:confused

Oops, Sorry.

:D

Pete

Nick was representin' team WTF at the race weekend at SPR...he did a nice job with 2 clean finishes near the top of his class...

Oops, Sorry.

:D

Pete

do we need to start calling you Bogdan? :)

So how did you get at that angle into the finish?

Kevin

Let me commend you guys for a great event this past weekend. The course was great! Even though I drive a torqueless car it was still great! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
I should really pay the membership fee soon. Save me that 10 bucks.

I suppose that's why it's called TeamWTF?! instead of TeamMakesSense.

Alex

Exactly what I was wondering.

Here's a clue....

doesn't look that bad...it felt like I was out that far one run. So Pete just can't control tail happy cars :)

Just trying to avoid timing lights and in a car with slow steering. Wheel didn't center like I expected to.


Oops,

Maybe I should have yelled out "not my car!" when I did it?

*entering excuse into the "Excuse Database"*

The steering is slow enough to take serious getting used to, esp if you're coming from an e36+.

Alex

or pics like this.. :lol :lol :lol

I was going to say, you guys are all slacking. What happened to the NO SITTING rule, huh???? :nono

Great to see Bogdan in his usual tire smoking form :buttrock

The no sitting rule was being enforced by the same person who announced "Please make sure your passenger keeps their hands inside the car at all times" (see photo 1 at the top of the page). :rolleyes

Good job Bogdan. Way to make sure our workers where alert.

:alright

Pete

Busted

The extra weight of the hitch ball threw my car out of balance. Errr... yeah.. that's it. :paranoid:

On another note, does anyone know who drove the the Black Audi A3 to the event?

I would like to extend my discust in respect to that person's behavior. Flooring it out of the parking lot and onto the road is not acceptable. The driver of the car in question is not welcome back to any BMW events. To top it all off, this happed after I specifically made it clear to everyone that speeding down the main drive would not be tolerated by us, and never has been. Save the hard charging for coming out of the start gate. We enjoy running a very relaxed event, and don't want that to change, but if we have to continually babysit people.... [/soapbox]

was this at ripken?

No, Bowie, but the rule applies all across the board.

Ok because I know some people that live on the road that leads to ripken and they are always complaining about the speeders :devillookNo, Bowie, but the rule applies all across the board.

ummm dont mean to pester.. but.. Adam you got the results? heheheh :)

That was me sorry.

That was me sorry.
so you & Jed had to rush to the theater to see miami vice, huh??

figures.....

Hey Alex, ever consider dialing out some of that oversteer? Or do you just like it _that_ much ;)

Well, it's fun, but may not be the fastest way for me to be driving. The snap oversteer issue we dealt with is gone with the new rtabs, but I'm open to suggestions as to how to tone it down a bit.

Alex

Less bar? Less spring?

We should trade cars at an event this fall and see what the differences are like.

Your car didn't look any better mannered than Alex's at the last SCCA event :stickoutt

Can't go with any less bar on the rear unless I can legally remove it. And Bimmerworld owes me a set of springs, so my thought was to try a softer rear.

Alex

:stickoutt E = the drift queen of melting rubber.

What don't I know about the rear suspension that wouldn't allow you to remove the bar?

I guess it's more what I don't know about ST rules. :)

EDIT: is that illegal lightening?

EDIT EDIT: maybe I should read the rulebook??

Alex

Leave the bar, just get the softer springs. I think you are running the same spring rate I am.

I don't know about your car, but removing the rear bar from mine was just unhappy--the rear wasn't controlled and was bouncing the inside tire. I put it back on, and you saw what happened :) I was still oversteering, but the tires made it controllable.

I'm still looking for a smaller bar (I've got the ST 19 mm)--possibly an E30 M3/Mtech 14.5 mm bar--to quell some of my oversteer.

Unfortunately, a properly set up E30 is going to be tail happy due to the suspension geometry, and street tires don't help (even azenis aren't the best) I'm looking at bigger tires for more grip, assuming SCCA doesn't kill the car by moving it next year <grrr>

Kevin

The additional driver weight makes up for it. :stickoutt

According to 14.7 of the rulebook, you can do whatever you want with the swaybars

TeamWTF?!'s entire PPD (Photo Processing Division) is on vacation. I'd look to see them sometime over the weekend.

And we still might beat results.
