That's poor-corner workers...poor in that they are newbies and don't know when to use the yellow flag. And yes that's Kogan's car, and yes Bill, the course was as is on the diagram. But we are going towards a S.S.S. but in due time (at least that's what they've talked about after Patch and I gave our suggestions).

I just don't like seeing people getting hurt unnecessarily; that was my motivation when I was Athlete Rep. in my ski racing days, and why I became an S.S.S. for Solo.

No slam, per se, on the shopping kart klub...I just don't want to see anyone hurt, Gio.

No offense taken and that's my fear that someone will get hurt. By the way, recognize the instructor in the passenger seat of that 1 Series? :)

Cool.

That you? If so, ya gotta say one thing about those Bravarian engineers; it's so smart how the back seat can fold down on sedans to allow access to the trunk, and conversely, let what should really STAY in the trunk, access to the pax compartment....

Fun event, Approx 125 entries x 11 runs plus muffins/coffee/subs/drinks/cookies/trophies & done by about 5:30.

100 second course & two 3rd gear (my car) e ticket "elements".

Bunch of cheery guys/gal in yellow shirts helping whoever needed it all day long.

Thanks BMWCCA.

Final one of the year tomorrow so if any of you are down in the SD area, stop by Qualcomm and see the madness. Instructors can give E-Ticket rides in the afternoon.

Here's the latest course map....oooh...they threw in a slalom! :roll:

There's a rumor that at these events, Gio actually enters his car, puts on a helmet and drives...

Can anyone confirm this?

To show how dangerous and lame these wannabe track days are in comparison to proper SCCA events?

Because I couldn't upload it via the web. I took it off now.

It means people care about you enough to make light-hearted jokes about your attendance because they would genuinely like to see you competing with the CSCC again!

In this economy, my priorities are shelter, food, clothing. Auto-x is a luxury item I cannot afford at this time.
