Default Last BMW Autocross at Minerals Wells 11/17/07!

Just a reminder/invitation to come out to the massive "see the curvature of the earth" autocross site one last time with the Lone Star BMW CCA group. This group uses the facility well, with speeds well above typical SCCA/NCCC events (we don't have to worry about curbs or light poles). It'll be a blast!

[EDIT] You can register at www.dlbracing.com ; price is $25 for members, $35 for non-members.

Have a good one,
Mike

You can register via www.dlbracing.com up until 11:00 p.m. Friday before the event.

Pictures??? Hah! Here's a video of our June event out there. Drat the luck, this run didn't count because of a timing glitch. It was about 0.4 seconds faster than my best timed run of the day.

And from our last event out there (not the best driving I've ever done ):

I signed up months ago for a Motorcycle Training Class and it is both days that weekend, so I'm out.

RE: Oil cooler - Whatever is convenient before March 2008, just lemme know... :-)

I'm pretty sure the large amount of fun I had at your prep party the night before had something to do with my sleeping in the next day..

80 mile drive from Denton, I gotta be ready to go at 6:30 .. on a Saturday.. way outside my normal operating parameters..

have the gf stay behind and see that it get's installed. What about the roommate? Between the two of them, I'd think that you could work something out... that is unless you are skeered!

I'm heading to the garage now to start swapping tires and taping up!

Got tape? Hehe, 3M helped to sponsor Clete's first AX! The BMW guys ragged on him all day.
