Oh, and funny how different clubs have contradictory rules: BMW CCA: No convertibles No timing No passengers Can wear swim trunks, tennis shoes and a tank top.
Alfa Club: Must wear long pants, long sleeved shirts, gloves. Allow Timing & Passengers Now if you could combine these clubs and get the best of both... Beach Wear plus timing & passengers :-) One of the ugliest track days (Schools) I've seen was a BMW event where an NSX and Ferrari got together, flipping the NSX onto its roof, destroying both, while later, an older BMW also did the roof dance. There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games. - Ernest Hemingway On Apr 2, 2008, at 8:35 AM, Sonny Tu wrote: > Join NASA & seek out NASA HPDE's!
