Goaljnky, you aren't allowed to post to this thread, for obvious reasons. (Yag).

Joe, I should be down for this one. I need to try and win that bloody Club back.

 

i thought you were gonna drive mario's car on the 4th?
im gonna try and shift my return date from china to the 2nd so i can participate... man i miss my car

 

It's on!
Don't forget to bring the Club Jacque, my runflats have a little more fight left in them!

 

I might be following the trend, and I might let a friend drive my car.
Does the guest have to get a BMW membership AND pay for the day?

 

Yes, if you want them to drive they need to be a BMWCCA member and pay for registration. The good news is that San Diego is only $45 for the event.

 

what are the rules?

If you have any specific questions feel free to ask.

 

am i allowed to have a pasenger ?

 

My friend Alan and I will be there.. he'll be driving, I'll be spectating on the side (and probably regretting my decision to allow him to drive my car). :impatient

 

They only permit BMWCCA instructors (in the yellow shirts) to be passengers in the car. Spectators are not allowed to be passengers.

 

that sucks! My brother wants to go. he has a mini too, but hes only 17 right now.

 

Well, after all of my tough talk, it looks like I won't be going to this one after all. I was (ahem) reminded that I already have a commitment on this day for some family stuff...:impatient

Dave, it is a good thing you never added me to the list. Now you do not have to take me off the list...

Good luck to all and remember to have fun and be safe.

Is there Age Limits my brother is 17 and wants to go in his cooper?

 

i think if you click on the rules, in post #32 by Dave, you'll see all the info you need to know.

 

I know for L.A. BMWCCA events they say entrants need to be 18, but as I recall San Diego does not have that requirement. In fact, I seem to remember a teenager in the 16-18 range working over a large chunk of the field (maybe even getting top time of day ) in an ///M5.

My memory may be a bit off though. Best to check with them, the contact from the rules PDF above that Glen pointed out is:

Matthew Kogan at: matthew.kogan@sbcglobal.net

FWIW, if it's ok for him to run the event, he'll still need to have a BMWCCA membership. Also, contingent on it being ok for a 17 year old in the event, if he does indeed have a MC, he'd be eligible to take part in my offer to pay for new MC autocrosser's helmet rental if they didn't already have a helmet.

I'll be selling my 15x7 Rota Slipstreams following the San Diego autocross.

These are my current autocross wheels and they do have some marks on them. If you're looking for a perfect set of wheels look elsewhere.

If you want a nice, lightweight set of autocross wheels, here's the place:

15x7 Rota Slipstreams
Graphite with the polished lip
$300 local sale

If you'd like them with whatever remaining tirelife is left in my V710's (maybe 1 or 2 events, maybe) you could have those too (205/50 R15).

PM me here on NAM if you're interested.

 

It looks like we have 3 MC's so far (Bruiser, Sir Geoffory, and justacooper). More would be welcome. And my offer to pay for the helmet rental for the first two MC drivers to take me up on it still applies.

 

I plan to be there - so is Karl (STI) - maybe we'll hook up for dinner after too?

 

Did you get the Falken Azenis? I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with you if you did.

Joe

 

Any caravans leaving Los Angeles super early morning on the 4th?

If there isn't, I might sleep over at a friend's house in SD and get to Qualcomm EARLY to possibly save spots. Is that allowed?

-joe a.

 

Joe, you have a PM.

 

Sorry Guys, I can't make this one. I have to work. We have the Deal or No Deal Open Call auditions. Blah!!!!

Have fun guys.

 

Oh yeah? Can you get me in?

 

Are you serious? We are expecting about 8,000 people.

 

Ok, I am all set for this one. Woo hoo, bring on 'dem cones, I say.

For this event, I will be bringing an extra camping chair, my family's EZ-Up tent, and a cooler full of water and gatorade.

Dave and Joe, you guys will both be going down to SD early on sat. morning. Can we all caravan somehow? I will be sure to bring my FRS radio, and will tune it to ch7 sub ch 21 (the SCMM freq). So we can find eachother on the highway. My plan was to it the 10east > 110south > 405south > 5south. With a departure of 4am.

It would be great to meet up some other MC (or MCS) drivers on the way down.

Best of luck to all...
