I've always wondered how to get people into slalom without spending hundreds on a helmet or use those filthy loaners

how much seat time do you get?

I got 30+ runs yesterday, didn’t even stay the whole day. 40 sec laps ish. The hired instructors do all the chores - there is no work detail. It’s half pad, so the runs are short. The whole course is coned - no worries about getting lost or course maps etc.

Again, I think this is the ideal event for first timers - no egos, no competition, run any car (basically no tech) and have fun. It’s a bit more money (160ish) but that pays for 4 instructors that will help out all day and run the course, and a catered lunch is included

It would also be perfect for test and tuning a suspension setup etc. You can pull out of grid anytime to mess with a setup

Google BMWCCBC for more details on dancing with cones events

EDIT: link to the next one june 24 w more info https://bmwccbc.org/event/dancing-wi...instance_id=70

Re: "The noise limit at our events is 90db."

Do you know if is this a hard limit or are they loosey-goosey?

The Producer 05-27-2018 12:29 PM

loose - there was a mustang out there yesterday that I'm sure was louder. I've never seen anybody get checked. But it's in writing for a reason I guess.

That's the limit for all pad events I think.

Buy a helmet condom LOL. UBCSCC is significantly cheaper tho, $50 for non-ubc students (not sure about alumni), $22.50 for current ubc students.

UBC auto-x events give you 20 runs tho, a lot more course work, and not catered lunch.

Correction: Did a total of 10 runs.

radioman 05-28-2018 08:12 AM

Love every time I open the trunk and peek inside.

unless much smaller cap this year I only recall 6, maybe 10 or 12 runs
you probably get more value out of a track day for seat time

For comparison in Victoria we normally get 8 runs (approx 40-60 seconds each). It runs $35 for member or $50 for non member. Annual membership fee is $35. Racers each work a corner.

Theres a guy named Dennis Cee on our scooter page, he's had all sorts of cubs. Probably the best person to talk to and might have spare parts.

Oh right MB, I mixed it up. It was a smaller session, we did 10 runs total. 5 runs each session, 2 sessions in the day.

77 registered, but I think there was only 40 cars or less than showed up. Somehow, indexed times show 85. Weird.

Many people share the same car, so there could be 77 people registered but half of them share the same car, then there will only be 40ish car shown.

I've seen a family of 3 (dad, mom and son) drive the same BMW and compete each other on time. Must be fun because my wife doesn't even want to sit in my car.

My friends polished and ceramic coated my car. After waiting 24hours to let it cure, I went out to take some photos
