GRM UTCC 2008 - Buttonwillow 13 : Here are pictures from Vorshlag's 3000 mile round trip to the Grassroots Motorsports Ultimate Track Car Challenge (GRM UTCC) in 2008. This event was sanctioned by GRM, run by NASA as a Time Trial, and held at Buttonwillow, CA track #13. We had a blast and can't wait to get more power/grip/aero on our E36 LS1 Alpha car for next year's event!

SCCA Mineral Wells, May 18, 2008 : Big giant site, super tight but long course, tons of gravel. Not my favorite autocross event, but it didn't help that I had done two different track events the two days prior. Amy co-drove with Terry.

TWS - HPDE - May 17, 2008 : Hanchey, Fair and Ronnie from AST went to an HPDE event at Texas World Speedway and ran the Alpha car for the 2nd day in a row. None of us had run at TWS for about 10 years so we were stuck in the "noobie" groups with instructors for our first stints. It worked out great and we were advanced to the top groups quickly, as well as checked out for our NASA Time Trial licenses that day (which was our whole purpose for going). The Alpha car performed flawlessly, and we ran a full tank of fuel through it without incident and not a single tire touching dirt. The Alpha car proved once again that it can do everything well - autocross, lower speed road course and higher speed road courses events, with very few adjustments needed. Tomorrow its going to run Mineral Wells autocross to round out the weekend.

MSR - Alpha Car - May 16, 2008 : Vorshlag took the Alpha E36 LS1 to a member day (Thanks, Rich!) at Motorsport Ranch Cresson on May 16, 2008. Brian & Terry with Vorshlag and Ronnie from AST Holland were on hand to flog the LS1 powered BMW for the entire day on the 1.7 mile configuration. With only 3 other cars running all day we had the track almost entirely to ourselves. Weather was perfect and the car was brutally fast. It doesn't get any better than this!

SCCA Pennington March 16, 2008 : Amy raced the E30 in STS "W" and Terry raced the Alpha car in XP at the first SCCA event for 2008 at the small concrete lot at Pennington Field. Not our favorite site to race (probably our least favorite, but at least its "close") yet the weather was nice enough, and we had a big gap in our schedule until the next event we could run, so we took both cars out. The Alpha car started the day on corded front tires, which only got worse and made for awful course times. Then it ran out of gas on my 3rd and fastest run. This defines "FUBAR". Felt like I wasted the day; I should have just entered the E30 in STS. But man... These two cars couldn't be more different! The E30 ran on the new 195/50/15 Bridgestones for the first time and they just started to get scrubbed in by her 3rd and final run. Still have lots of testing and improvements to make to both cars. Step one: don't show up on corded race tires! Step 2: put fuel in the tank! Stupid, stupid, stupid...

Nissan240 Test-N-Tune Feb 23, 2008 : Amy and Terry helped set-up some courses at Mineral Wells for some local 240SX guys and got the opportunity to do some testing on the E30 before the car has entered its first competition event. We set-up our standard 30 second test course and tested the all new suspension set-up for the first time on our '91 318is. After various shock settings didn't fix it, a significant spring rate change in the rear helped to calm down the chassis. Further timed testing (about 66 runs total) with both drivers helped chase down valving and other parameters for the base set-up. The E30 even did well in head-to-head comparisons with the other cars there on the large 1+ mile course they were running, so maybe this chassis has some promise.

Yokohama Ride-and-Drive Oct. 10, 2007 : Yokohama product introduction "Arrive and drive" event Amy and Terry went to in 2007. We were lucky enough to be invited to this event, and got to speak with the national Advan and Yokohama folks at length. We talked about their autocross support, the AD07 and its shortcomings/strengths, and got to drive the wheels off of a number of BMW E90 sedans. Amy did well, but coned her competition run (no one else was close to her). Terry fared better and set the fastest time of that session (and all other sessions that weekend) with a 2 second margin of victory. It probably helped us both that we had run on AD07s in BMWs for the past 2 years, and had run at this event site a few times previously... but it was still nice to go out and win this "driver's challenge" by a huge margin. ;)

We had a good day overall with a strong showing among the regular STU crowd by the M3 driven by Terry and Amy Fair, the '07 STi driven by Hanchey and Weiss, the '05 STi driven by Fitz and Paul, and the '06 EVO IX driven by the McCalls. Everyone seems to have a handle on their tires and set-ups and there should be no set-up changes going onto Topeka!

SCCA TMS Road Course July 15, 2007 (part 1) : The Texas Region hosted 227 cars to their annual 1.2 mile road course autocross at Texas Motor Speedway. As frustrating as the event was the day before, it was all forgotten after doing the first run on this course. What a blast! Lots of fast slaloms, high speed offsets, and big sweepers. Just busy enough to keep the speeds from getting too fast for an "autocross", but fast enough to get you a big grin. We had several of Amy's co-workers, family members, etc., come join us for ride throughs at this event. Even with the long day and hot weather, everyone had a blast! Fair won STU in Hanchey's STi, Amy came in second in open class in the M3. GOOD TIMES! Thanks to Redwood for snapping most of these pictures.

Mark Williams designed an excellent 130 second course which had several very fast sections - we hit 3rd gear 3 times on each run. Hanchey won F class but I coned my way to 3rd. The tire wear was staggering, but it sure was fun. The Yokohama Advans showed over 1.28g on the DL-1 data, so that is an improvement.
