Ahh, That'll buff right out.
Like I said, people race around light poles all around the country. That's why the SCCA has regulations on designing around them. Accidents happen but I've never been on what I considered a dangerous course at LaGrave.

Even w/LSCBMW?
I didn't know the WRX had retractable wheels. When it is frightened does it pull the wheels up? I do.
Yep, I think the only course where I was honestly scared there was going to be a wreck was the ER mirrorcross last year. I was hitting the brakes before the timing lights because of the finish.

I don't know why everyone thinks their course desisgn is bad, it's usually pretty safe. The only time I was ever nervous with LSCBMWCCA was at grayson county airport. There was a 80 mph kink, I tried to go through flat footed and started sliding towards a ditch, luckily I had enough real estate to catch it.

That course was pretty bad and for no good reason just move the hole course down. Saw at least one car in the weeds.
Me, too.Yep, I think the only course where I was honestly scared there was going to be a wreck was the ER mirrorcross last year. I was hitting the brakes before the timing lights because of the finish.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

I agree, that course was crap. Only used like 1/2 the surface, and it was dangerous.

If you want more speed, I would strongly suggest you try one of the Porsche Time Trial events at Mineral Wells. They use a road course design instead of an autocross design. The first one of the season is in a week or two.ill be there!! mineral wells ate up my tires last season...plus i hear bmw events hit triple digits!!
Now THAT sounds fun. More info?

They always use one of these three courses: http://mav.pca.org/Events/Autocross/...ingOverlay.htm
No chalk lines.
I want to come, but i think work is going to have me do some testing Friday in which if i pass, my schedule will change.
Lee and I will be there. Did you guys settle on a new breakfast location?
I learned this the hard way.....
Take all of your valuables out of your car at night. This includes taking the mounting hardware off of your windshield or dash and hiding the power supplies. I lost over $ 1,000 to a thief with no hope of recovering my items and to top if off they smashed my window in the rain and my truck got soaked. Let my loss be your learning experience.
