    Default Lone Star BMWCCA #1 - Saturday, 3/1/08, Mineral Wells

    Cosmos may want to sit down for this one…

    Lone Star BMWCCA starts their autocross season on the 1st of March at Mineral Wells. I’ll be out there, breaking in the Toyos and checking the setup changes I’ve made to the car in preparation for some real track time this season ().

    Who else is in?

    Sigh... contrary to popular belief, I haven't stopped autocrossing entirely. I merely decided that if I wanted to fulfill my goal of getting my competition license, I should probably redirect some (okay, a lot) of the time and money I spend on autocrossing. Hence, this season I will not be making an effort to be compete Nationally, nor will I run twenty plus events a season like I have in years past... but that won't stop me from kicking your ass when I do show up.

    LOL, I'm just trying to stir the pot again, we all know you're a cone rat at heart. But bring it on, I'm not scared of a RX-8 on RA1's and springs.

    I will be there, on street tires if that surprises anyone....
    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.

    Is this a typical year with so many events happening in Mineral Wells? Not that I am complaining it is a good sized venue, just curious.

    Actually SCCA is running a lot more events at the bus lot so that should cut down on MW time. S2K always runs at MW and I'm not exactly sure on the BMW schedule.

    You keep eating those greasy Mcskillet burritos every weekend and you probably won't make it to the end of the season.
