GreenCactus Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Next time we should bring lunches, make a day of it. Next time, I'm signing up for the afternoon session!!
Edge Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Next time, I'm signing up for the afternoon session!!Here, here! After the very early start, long drive to Waldorf, the many hours working the course (and waiting), autocrossing, a long lunch (fun though!) and the long drive home, I am completely shot. A 2 hour nap after getting home helped, but I was still useless the rest of the day. Next time the afternoon session with brunch beforehand! :top: "Mr. OEM" - 05 JCW (TK, GPIC, SS, GPTA, R56 RSB, StBr, R56 BBK, GPWhls, SV, RS, R56 GSI, IES, StrWhl, GK, HG, LBIT) MCS, HB/HB, Packs: 1, 2, 3 & 4.

Stephatron Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Aw don't feel too bad. I didn't want to be there either because it was so cold. I'm glad everyone had fun!!! I know I had a blast. I hit my first cone EVER in my auto crossing history AND got my best time too, not in the same run haha. Boy, am I more than glad that I got this car!!! I know I personally will be going to the next autocross which will be at Virginia Motorsports Park in Petersburg, VA through NASA on the 6th. I love that course.
Stephatron Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 Btw, did anyone know the BRG MINI with the silver mirror caps in the pm session? I didn't get a chance to speak to him.
FAST060 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 So.... how long is everyone keeping their AutoX numbers on their MINIs? I love the attention!

FAST060 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 Weeks? I was thinking days. You might wanna invest in some magnetic rally numbers for that long. Came out to find LEO walking around BLUR. Gave me a hand salute, cause I'm in uniform, and went on their merry way. https://www.instagram.com/smokiendabandit/ 2009 MCS, HzB/B, CWP, PP, "BLUR" MOTORING ID: SOAR143 - MINI Community Service 2013 JCW GP, Thunder Grey, "SMOKIE" MOTORING ID: FAST060 2014 MCS Clubman, Highclass Gray, "THE ADMIRAL"

That's cool that Blur and you got the salute :congrats: Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

Stephatron Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 I'm not as cool as everyone with vinyl numbers, I have window chalk. So mine stay on until a car wash haha.

5spoke Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Glad everyone had fun. Hopefully will see more MINI's out at the local autocrosses. The cold was the worst part of the day, I don't mind ripping it up in the wet! :motor:

5spoke Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Looks like Quitta almost beat the Lotus and Haemish beat it by about 2 seconds for it's fastest lap! Yep, the lotus must have had a timid driver, it should have been putting up low 50's with someone pushing it a bit. My best time on saturday was 59.256, and at some other events I have been to their is a similar lotus doing easily 8 second quicker laps than I.
cmcveay Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Posted October 4, 2011 Timid would be the polite way of saying it... I think the car scared him to death! So much potential, so little nerve..... 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
Edge Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 The Lotus was WAY WAY off course the first few runs - as in... shortcutting entire sections of it. Finally one of the experienced folks started to ride with him and kept him on course. It didn't help that he arrived late and missed the course walk (I think). Beautiful car. Having been lucky enough to have driven one, I was envious to see it.
