	You Autocross season hosted by BMWCCA NCC is off to a hot start again this year with a lot of competitors. We have 6 driver's signed up for the full season and have had 9 different driver's competing in the class over the first two events. We have your top 3 finishers from last season returning with Corey Brown <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://dcmetrominis.org/forum/profile/5834-1975_mini/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="5834" href="https://dcmetrominis.org/forum/profile/5834-1975_mini/" id="ips_uid_4239_4" rel="">@1975_mini</a> back to defend his title from last year along with Mark Drew <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://dcmetrominis.org/forum/profile/5354-markddrew/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="5354" href="https://dcmetrominis.org/forum/profile/5354-markddrew/" id="ips_uid_4239_3" rel="">@MarkDDrew</a> who finished second, and David Widdifield <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://dcmetrominis.org/forum/profile/6524-widdie/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="6524" href="https://dcmetrominis.org/forum/profile/6524-widdie/" rel="">@Widdie</a> who finished third in his second season. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	We also have several drivers returning for their second season and a few rookie drivers joining us this year. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	How do we award points, we try to keep it simple 1st place at an event receives 10 points, 2nd place 9 points, and so on down to 10th place receiving 1 point. For the season total it is the total of a driver's four best events. We a not pro driver's and we know family, work, friends can cause you to miss an event. By only counting your four best you can miss an event and still complete for the season.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	With two events down we have two winners, Corey tool the first event of the season with Mark grabbing event two. It looks like we are going to have tight battles up and down the points standings this year.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	We are on our summer break (IT IS HOT OUT THERE) and the next points event will be Sept 6th. There will be a test and tune in August if you would like to have some fun and feel out your MINI in a none competitive setting.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Feel free to post below or ask at any one of your driving events about Autocross if you think it is something you would like to get involved in.

	Our fellow MINIacs were out in force for the start of the BMW National Capital Chapter (NCC) 2025 Autocross season, with 6 competitors registered for the season and always a few additional competitors at each event. This year’s season will consist of 5 points events hosted at Summit Point Motorsports Park in West Virginia. BMW NCC kindly offer a MINI classification allowing the MINI to compete against each other.

<p>
	Event 1 was held May 17<sup>th</sup>, and was a quick flowing course combining large radius turns, a slalom, and several hard braking elements. Our MINIacs mastered the layout quickly and their times started dropping. With 7 MINIs competing you had to keep an eye on the leaderboard with positions swapping with each round of runs. Event 1 ended as follows with the entire class separated by less than 10 seconds :
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	1<sup>st</sup> Place – Corey Brown (2012 MINI JCW Coupe)
</p>

<p>
	2<sup>nd</sup> Place – David Widdifield (2012 MINI Cooper S)
</p>

<p>
	3<sup>rd</sup> Place – David Tracz (2005 MINI Cooper S)
</p>

<p>
	4<sup>th</sup> Place – John Preston (2021 MINI Cooper GP3)
</p>

<p>
	5<sup>th</sup> Place – James Wade (2013 MINI Cooper JCW)
</p>

<p>
	6<sup>th</sup> Place – Don McClure (2020 MINI Cooper JCW)
</p>

<p>
	7<sup>th</sup> Place – Brandy Brown (2021 MINI Cooper GP3)
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Congrats to everyone on a great start to the season, Event 2 will be held on June 21<sup>st</sup> and we currently have 8 MINIs registered to compete. We will keep you all updated on the season and hope to have more of you join us.

	Ok all, last weekend at the track was a blast!  I think I want to sign up for the season, but I need to keep it as my daily driver as well.  How hard on the car is auto-crossing and will it change what I have to do as far as maintenance schedules etc..?
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Just looking for some thoughts/advice.

	Registration has opened for NCC's one and only 2022 Novice School session. This is a great opportunity for new participants to learn more about the motorsport. I hope to see other MINIs out there. Please reach out if you have any questions! More details below:
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	---
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Want to know what autocross is all about? Always wanted to come to an event, but didn't want to jump right in? Been to an event or 2 and want to learn the basics? Come out to the NCC Autocross 2022 Novice School!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	This is the One and Only NCC Autocross School for the 2022 Season.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Autocross is a safe, low-speed motorsport where competitors drive against the clock to turn in the best times as they navigate a driving course defined by orange parking cones in a large, open lot. Our NCC Autocross school is the best way for new and budding autocross participants to learn more about autocross and improve their driving performance through in-car instruction by some of the best instructors in the Washington DC area.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Sessions will include a variety of topics to help novice participants better understand what goes on in a day of autocross, and what they will likely be seeing and hearing around them as they participate in the motorsport. Instruction will provide guidance on how to prepare both the car and driver for autocross, how to register, tech inspect, work a course, and safety topics will get you up to speed with the day-of operations for participating in autocross.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The morning will consist of drills, exercises, and instruction.  The afternoon will be a model of a regular autocross event, including a full autocross course. There is no better way to get started in autocross than with the NCC Autocross school.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Register now as space in our schools are limited to ensure small class groups and personalized instruction.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Cost: $100

	NCC is hosting the fourth (of five) autocross event of their 2021 season on September 11th at Summit Point Motorsports Park. Registration is open through September 9th. The cost is $35 for the morning or afternoon session and $55 for both. This year they are requiring all participants be members of the BMWCCA (NCC is the local chapter). There are loaner helmets available if needed (let me know if you would need one and I can connect you with their organizer).

The first three events were a lot of fun. They run rain or shine (except if there's lightning), and the rain last time out certainly made for a new experience.

<p>
	The club is always looking for new ways to bring members together while giving them opportunities to the experience the capabilities and performance of their MINIs. Though we enjoy our MINIs on the great twisty roads that are in the area, to truely experience the handling of your MINI requires a closed course environment. Though a race track may be a bit daunting for many, AutoX is a great opportunity to push you and your MINI's abilities in a controlled environment. There are some great AutoX groups in the area, and we are considering reaching out to work with them to support a MINI series.
</p>

<p>
	We would love to here if you would be interested in participating in these events, just comment below. If you have experience with attending autoX events, we would love to talk to you about your experiences. Please send a message to Corey (@1975_MINI) or just say drop me a line below.

<p>
	Hello all,
</p>

<p>
	The SCCA was nice enough to grant me a spot for their "Helmets off to Heroes" Veterans day event this Sunday.  It is an HPDE event.  I am super excited about this.  If anyone has ran this track, please advise me about it.  I will be on Bridgestone Potenza 215/45/R17 RE71Rs that I normally autocross on.  The tires are new, only used for one event so far (and that was in the rain).  My concerns are tire pressure for track (I am thinking higher then autocross, near stock values due to heat), brake fade due to boiling of the brake fluid, and inexperience on this track.  Any advice that keeps the rubber side down and heart beat up is appreciated.
</p>

<p>
	So i just switched from 205/45R17 to 215/45R17 for autox (RE71Rs).  I ran low pressure in my front tires, about 26 psi, previously for grip.  I ran 35 in my rears.  This allowed me to brake before a courner, shift weight to the front, gas through the corner and kinda "bounce" my.rear around it.  Issues being melting the front tires.  Wondering what PSI anyone else runs?  I will be taking a mister to cool tires between runs (have a SCCA run on Sun). Pic is of my old tires after track time.

<p>
	Hello Trackday Minions,
</p>

<p>
	I wonder if anyone could help me find out more information on Lot 7. Is this track still in use or known when it was last used? I saw this a few months back as I was heading to a conference in downtown DC and just caught a glimpse of the curbing as I drove by, never notice it before. 
</p>

<p>
	I provided the link below as a reference. Typically this lot is known for as the destination for the Chill Cookoff festival and that parking lot for DC United games for RFK.
