**POSTPONED** Bmw cca roc ax 12/4 **POSTPONED**

Well, weather sucks. This event will be rescheduled in the Spring.


Quick update. I am still working out the details and the date might move to Dec 3. I am waiting on a couple of items.
- TMS to confirm the date
- BMW to lend me cars
- Setting up the format

Here is the idea:
BMW lends me three 128i coupes. You register for the event like a normal event. Points have ended so it is a non-points event for all. We take 1st and 2nd place in each class from this year along with champions from previous years. We create a bracket with double elimination. You race, win, and move on until we have a champion.

If you are not in the ROC you can run it like a normal event. It will be open to all drivers.

Sounds good?

I'm so "in" on this.

Heck yeah, will BMW really loan us cars to beat on?

I am trying. They might come with a sales guy.

Get him a helmet and make him ride every run. ::EvilBana

If you could move it to the weekend of Dec. 17th I would love to be able to attend.

you could fly back for this.

I want my V8 M3 tuned to 480HP. Tuned to 425HP is boring now. I need to S/C it. I like cheese.

I'd rather have the ALMS M3.

I'm in if it is NOT on the 3rd

Sounds like fun!

Update?

I am out of town on the 3rd.

Me too!

It is on the 4th. No update on cars.

Any updates? I told my wife that I was done autocrossing for the year, but I can probably work around that... :)

The plan as of now is at the end of normal event we will draw names of the 2011 only 1st and 2nd place class winners present, for all classes. We will have a predefined bracket with double elimination. If we can get cars from classic BMW we will run them. If not, each driver will run their car against each other. If we drive our own cars we will allow haggling for time handicaps like on the show Pinks. This should be fun and we will have times from the regular event to use as a base. The drivers will be 100% responsible for haggling times. We can manually update handicaps in AXWare. ROC drivers will need to help work the course as they are eliminated.

Don't want to throw a wrench in you plans, but have you thought about the "Top Gear" model, rent an Aveo or other reasonably priced car. Low power w/ crappy tires could highlight the most skillful driver.

Are you volunteering to rent the car in YOUR name?

Now you see the problem with that model.

Hey Ken,

Will there be on site registration? I have a major commitment the night before and depending on how I feel (read over/under of Tequila shots) I would like to play on Sunday.

Registration is online.

Mother Nature VS LSC BMW: The Ultimate Race of Champions

Due to a 40% chance of rain for our Race of Champions weekend, LSC BMW AutoX is offering 12 laps for early registrants. If we get 40 entries by 11:59PM Thursday, December 1st, we will offer at least 12 runs for each registered driver.

If we do not reach 40 entries for this event, we will have no other option but to cancel it. So sign up early, help make this event a possibility, and you're guaranteed at least 12 runs on course.

A 40% chance of rain does not mean a wet course, but if it does rain, it's the perfect setting to test your driving skills against your competition!!!!!

It's time LSC BMW showed Mother Nature who's boss!

Link for registration, please Ken?

I'm in! Can we register twice and get 24 runs?

Registration is open:

When will we find out if we may ( or may not) get loaners from BMW?

Just got work from Classic BMW and we will have 128i or 328i as the ROC cars. Thanks Classic BMW!!! If you were on the fence [echo voice] sign up now to be the winner of the Race of Champions [/echo voice]

Kick ass!! I'm signing-up 3 times!! 36 runs!!!

Is the entire event run in the Classic BMW loaner cars for the 1st and 2nd place people or do you run 8 runs in your own normal car and do a run off afterwards in the Classic cars?

Just the ROC runs.

Does the ROC car have heated seats? It's going to be cold.

Did that last week, it wasn't fun.

I'm now eyeballing the MSR event and hoping the rain opens up a spot on Sunday...
