Mid Ohio - Memorial Day Weekend with BMW CR

Any of the Great Lakes folks interested in racing with BMW CR on Memorial Day weekend? jtower and i are planning on going and wondering if we can scare up some more SE30 participation :slight_smile: Should be a fun weekend.

What all is required if you haven’t run BMWCCA before (license, required stickers, etc…)?

#3

cmon let’s get people signed up for a little spec e36 ass kicking!

#4

license, stickers and center net. SE30s do not need to run the tire rack windshield banner

You could run open tires if you ran in KP but if you want to declare as a spec E30 you have to run by the Spec E30 rules, meaning spec tires.

  1. CAR CLASSIFICATION
    A. NON-BMW CCA CLUB RACING CLASSIFICATIONS
  2. BMW’s, defined to be BMW-manufactured chassis and engine
    combinations, prepared to and competing in other non-vintage

so… anyone?

I’ll be there instructing and co-driving the enduro. Btw, an SE30 won’t be beating up on SE36’s… Not with them on the BFG R1’s. There’s like a 2-3 sec/lap differential!

You’re assuming that the SE36 driver knows how to drive…Ha,ha. I’ve yo-yo raced with them at several tracks.

Have fun, the CCA guys are a good group to race with.

Yes, I was assuming equal drivers :wink:

Looks like I won’t be co-driving due to some issues with the club. I’ll just be instructing and supporting whoever needs help. I’ll also be staying Mon/Tues to instruct with Chin Motorsports.

i don’t mind a few pointers on Friday :wink: Why no co-drive? Jeff C is co-driving with me in the enduro.

#12

i’m not gonna make this event, doing three days at vir instead. bummer, i was gonna instruct with chin on mon/tue as well.

there’s a nasa race at mid-o in late july, and a bmwcca race at nelson ledges the following weekend, if i can get enough time away from home that’d be an interesting road trip.
