End of Autocross Season
October 31st, 2009 Posted in Autocross, BMW
The autocross season drew to a close on October 24th with the final event for the NCC at Baysox stadium. I had one chance to win my class for the season: I had to beat my closest rival in the championship by two places. It was close, but in the end, the weather voted against me. The other two ran in the dry and my heat ran in a monsoon.
In the end the GeorgeCo BMW powered by Beano finished the season in a solid second place in the Modified 3 class. We had 4 wins; 1 second place; and one third — the most wins in the class. But by running only 6 of 8 event in a best of 7 series we still lost on total points.
Time to start planning for next season. Next year this will be the only series we’ll run so we won’t come up short on total points again. The car needs a few repairs: new clutch slave cylinder and a new final drive. It’s also time to start working on more power with new injectors, a header, free flow exhaust and a custom ECU tune. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. It’s also time to bite the bullet and buy some Hoosier A6 tires.
