In looks like a fun course. Please no 45 ft slaloms this time, 60 ft is a good min spacing for slaloms.

In.

Your course will have 30ft.

Y'all be careful out there tomorrow and watch the radar. I've been at MW when a storm blew thru...no fun. Giant sheets of corrugated metal will be flying around.

No reports from the participants?

They all got struck by lightning, as per Ken's facebook video.

Hot dogs were served.

I had 2 hot dogs. They were delicious

Hi,
The Lone Star Chapter BMWCCA autocross committee would like to thank everybody that were able to come out and drive today. The spring of 2015 has been showering rain on us and it did keep us inside for a brief period in the early morning before the start of the event. The wet surface did put some demands on us to be gentle around the course. Then, we did get to experience a dry course at the end of the day. Especially during the fun runs!

The competition is heating up in most classes. Class E has not one, but two new leaders.
In class Z we also have two drivers sharing the lead. In the mean time, Class Y and Novice have emerged with new leaders at the top. Keep on competing.

Results and Standings:

Event #3 – May 18, 2015 - MW
2015 Standings after 3 events

To finish up, we appreciate all the assistance we receive during the day. It would not be possible to run a great event without you.

Looking forward to see you at the next event on 6/13 at TMS.

Best Regards,

Franco Maras

Weather was nasty in the morning but turned out great for the afternoon. Must have been the hotdogs. Thanks to the club for allowing fun runs too.

The RE71Rs are very good in the wet.
