PCA Time Trial events
Has anyone ever done one of the PCA Time Trial events? Is it pretty much an AX event, but on a course that is re-used?

Multiple laps, MUCH FASTER, and more like a road course. One of the courses has you coming past the entrance to Mineralring and then going toward the sofa and up the hill with nothing but a right hand sweeper. That was where I learned the necessity of driving shoes. On the brakes and when I hit the clutch to shift down from 4th, the soles of my shoes got tangled.
Notice I said downshifting from 4th...
They are a ton of fun, and I say I'm going back every year, but there always seems to be a schedule conflict
You should come to a BMWCCA event sometime this season. I found myself downshifting from 4th on one of the courses last year.Originally Posted by onething

Look out for that hardtop!In the paddock?
I think onething is referring to LSBMWCCA's history of somewhat lax safety rules, including a lack of pit speed limits.Look out for that hardtop!

I think it's been too long since you guys have been to a LSCBMWCCA event. I haven't seen any problems with speeding in the paddock. I will say that they often design courses that use too much of the surface that they have. High speed and little run off room is a bad combo. Never had a problem with it though.

Do ya need a roll bar to run a PCA time trial???
I was wondering the same thing, as well. I planned to read more about it tonight.
I agree with Thomas about the BMW events. I do not have a problem with safety there.
And courses that exit into the paddock...I think onething is referring to LSBMWCCA's history of somewhat lax safety rules, including a lack of pit speed limits.
Maybe 4 wheels aren't so bad after all... wickett.org
It only goes to show when people can no longer discriminate on the grounds of race, religion, or sexual orientation, they can improvise and still find someone to hate. - Dave Moulton
Think they did that to make sure Miatamoto was always near a manned fire extinguisher, just in case??
Now it makes perfect sense.Think they did that to make sure Miatamoto was always near a manned fire extinguisher, just in case??

I didn't need one when I took their TT103 class in 2005. YRBMV
No, roll bars are not required. Here are the rules:

I might have to try one of these out.
