The MINIs were placed in two classes. The MC was in Class A - 4 cylinder BMW and the MCS was in Class B - 4 cylinder BMW modified. I was the only MC and the only entrant in class A, so I won my class. I didn't hear how many cars were in class B, but there were roughly 5 or 6 MCS's and maybe roughly the same in BMW's.

It would be really nice to have some more MC's to run against at Hollywood Park. If there aren't any other MC's I'm considering running in 4-cylinder modified with the MCS's.

 

Dave congrats!!! Does that mean you got an Award???

It was a great day, I'll try and get some video up later in the week.

 

Yeah, I got a wooden plaque with the date and my class on it.

 

Oooh, a challenge to Cooper drivers?

 

Definitely. Let's get some more MC's out there and have at it.

 

Haha you can count on ME being there.

 

Saw the date for Hollywood Park auto-x. Too bad it falls on Father's Day.

 

That's the perfect reason to get out there. Bring the family, and watch daddy have HIS day.

 

Let's start the headcount for Hollywood park over here: BMWCCA Autocross on June 18th

 

I just might consider it. Will they let my convertible on the track? Do I need a helmet?

 

Yes they will. And yes you do. I have a spare. If you dont have one they rent them out for 10 dollars a day.

Just an fyi... the Coopers are pretty quick. Dave was only 2 seconds slower than Camel.. and up there with the other S's. Egguin has a good chance of wiping the floor with the likes of me and Charlie... if only the owner would GROW SOME NUTS AND EFFING PARTICIPATE.

 

Challenge accepted...

 

Sweet. You are currently my favourite to win Class A. Ooooooooo.

But Dave has the upperhand so far due to experience gained over the weekend. This one will be fun to watch.

OctaneGuy Richard is obviously the underdog coming into the mix with his Indie Blue polished proper Cooper.

This will be an interesting one to watch, ladies and gents.

 

Awesome. More competition.

 

I am not setting my goals to high, being as I've never autocrossed before. Should be fun. Maybe I will enter both classes... having two cars and all that...

 

HOLY CRAP!!!!

I JUST SAW THE RESULTS FOR THE AUTOCROSS!

RORY GOT SECOND BEST TIME OF THE DAY! (Rory drives an MCS).

And that time is effin fast too.

Results here:

I just saw that on the site too.

Nice to see all the times.

 

Underdog for sure! Never Autocrossed in my life, but it sure looks fun. Hmmm, do those cones mark something or are they just pretty? I must be dylexic cause I don't see any paths between them. Ook, ok, I'm being silly.

The underdog has the upper hand. I won the MINI book written by Gary of MC2 at AMVIV that shows me how to AutoX.

I took the results and sorted them by time. The image below is clickable.



EDIT: image now includes all results, BMW, MINI, and NON-BMW

 

wow thanks Dave, very impressive.

 

I should also mention that the 55 second top time there is in error (notice how his other times are in the mid 70's). That driver still won his class, but was not the top time of day. The top time of day went to a corvette driver with a 59.371.

 

What are the pluses next to some of the times? Knocked down cone penalty?

 

Yes, the +'s are number of cones hit. Each cone is a 2 second penalty.

If it says +DNF that means the person exited the course and re-entered and therefore "did not finish." Basically that means they either got lost on course, went between two cones they weren't suppose to, or hit a cone and went off course, but did not re-enter the course where they hit the cone (i.e. the kept going and re-entered past the cone after the one they hit).

 

OK, so what's the column right after the best time and what's the time delta?

 

Column to the right of Best Time is the time delta within the class that particular car was in (looks like there is a problem with the entry at the very top of that column).

"Time Delta" = best time for each driver - top time of day
So Time Delta is a ranking of the time gaps compared to the overall winner.
