No, I would run either CDC or BMW.....not both. It is really personal preference b/w AM and PM. If you run in the AM you will work in the AM. They run separate AM/PM sessions with BMW. CDC you have to stay the whole day. I am fairly certain I will just run CDC in Frederick this weekend. I see you are registered for BMW.....good luck. Lots of fast guys down there on Saturday.

How does the CDC works?

BMW makes you pay double if you want to race AM & PM.... Is CDC the same? Or do you have 2 rounds for the same price? If so, what is the price?

Too bad I wont see you Sat.

Next time then.

Thx.

CDC is one price for am and pm, but you only get 3 runs in the morning and afternoon. BMW does ~5 runs in one session. The lot in Frederick much, much smaller than the one in waldorf, though. There is a test and tune in Frederick on Sunday. It is 5-10 bucks more than saturday, but you would probably get 8-10 runs....at least.

If you do the BMW PM session there are FUN runs at the end. There are lots of runs at that time.

Nope. I can't even compete with R-Comp'd S2000 or Rx8 cars. I'm thinking of just getting slicks and running X1 for the rest of the season.

I don't think that should be a reason not to go this weekend....might as well go out and shake the cobwebs off.

You have a point, but I'm serious about competing. Same thing happened last year. Guys that don't plan on running the entire season just come in get some practice and leave. I would like to accumulate as many points as possible. It's just not fair the classing model.

Funny thing is I bet Josh Luster or Shane in the 06 STI set FTD on street tires. The ole Volvo turbo brick in X1 is fast as well.

Also, why not just come up and run CDC on Sat or Sun? At least get some seat time.

Complete fail today. Broke the seat....again....then broke my phone. I think I finished 6th overall out of 70ish cars, but should have been top 3. Might have some video for you guys later. Big surprise was John Lucas in his sti wagon......that thing got fast out of no where. He was right with Palmer (who is usually quicker than moon in his sti)....still would have beaten them easily without the issues. I hate my car some times....

Ha! Tell me about it. I had to run against tuned STIs and other beasts. Thats just wrong.

Fun lot, and fun course. But I was at least 2-3 seconds behind the STIs.

Oh well Lets hope they do not show up to all the events :P

When I run with BMW I am in the unlimited category with the cobras.......they usually run CDC, though.

Got it fixed this morning....with some industrial strength zip ties. We ran the same course. Was immediately faster. Best was a 38.41 with a passenger. Car might have had a 37.9 in it if it were warmer out.....and without a passenger. Most of the cars that ran both days were faster on Saturday.....sucks....might have been enough to snag third overall.

Also, found the sweet spot with tire pressures and the hoosier mean business. Unfortunately my cam died very early on and I don't think I have any vids from today.
