cmcveay Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Posted January 27, 2012 Was it the guy from the spring fling, he needs driving school. Someone else remembers that guy... We were just a car or two behind him and it was a spectacle to watch! I thought Jeremy Clarkson was driving it - seems like he wanted to practice drifting through every turn...

CP3657197 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 How long does it take to get a BMWCCA member number? I have to join BMWCCA first. SbNimble, ...quick question, based on your experience, is it possible to join the BMWNCC club then sign up for the auto cross right after? It seem as though, you had to wait a membership number or so before you can proceed to sign up for the auto cross... cp :motor:

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 I got the email with all the notes for next Saturday. I was thinking we should all bring lunch and some drinks along so that we can chat about what we're learning at lunch. I don't know if there are places nearby to go get food and get back in time. I'm going to bring snacks, lunch and drinks. I'm also going to bring along a folding chair. I have a good tire pressure gauge and a crappy compressor that I'm bringing. For the most part the car will be empty when I get there except for the stuff I need for autocross. My helmet is coming in the mail on Tues. I'm ready!!!! I'm so excited about it!!!

GreenCactus Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 I was planning on bringing a small cooler with lunch and some water. I don't think there is much close by that would be quick. Traffic can get pretty bad in that area. Are we going to caravan over?
Poison Ivy Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 Can people come to watch? I'd come over after my biology class.

I want to get there early do was going to leave pretty early. Yep!! It's pretty easy to get to - it's just off of Rt 50. That early in the morning, it should probably take less than 40 minutes. If anyone would like stickers for their helmets, please let me know. I'm going to be making one with my name on it for mine.
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 My helmet has an orange and gray pattern over black. Not sure it would look good with letters. Ilk have to show it to you. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
