A few weeks later I put a stopwatch on the video to see about how quick my "excessive speed" was. It was a smoking 2:21. Think about that, 17s of a good lap for the car was considered driving too fast at a BMW CCA event.
In 2 days I never had a lap where I wasn't stuck behind someone for at least half the lap. It just wasn't fun. The other things that irritated me is their "instructors know everything" attitude, even when they are giving you completly wrong advice. Like:
Ins: take the wide line in 2.
Me: But this isn't a BMW
Ins: The line is the same for all cars
Now, their autocross program is great  |
I happened to be in SF for the weekend and drove out to Infineon and saw a few Elise so I wondered if you were one of them.
Eh...like I wrote above..... the BMW instructors are racers who also teach, they are top pros. You always get a mixbag with club instructors.
