Folks,
Onno has done us proud having a wee dig about to sort out a RR session. A number of you have asked over the past wee while if we were going to organise one. The BMWCC Scotland committee are up for supporting it in our events this year and Shorty's having a wee swatch at 'the book' to see where to squeeze it in. The plan is to go to Hypertech in Bonnybridge who will do sessions on a Sunday for £40 per car. You get 3 power runs with the owner in the car for a full explanation of what is happening. Spectators can watch performance on 40" TV screen. Also includes tea / coffee / biscuits. Onno reckons there's nice friendly service and the owner will take time out to talk to you about any improvements which can be made and explain should there be any problems with the car. The owner also can arrange for a hot roll caravan to be on site between 9 and 12 should we want anything to eat. We need 10 cars or more to do this. So if you're interested then please get £40 to a committee member to confirm your place. We need the funds in hand to pay a deposit and firm up the date with Hypertech. If the event were not to get the numbers required then the £40 will be fully refunded. Cheers, Duncan Sign up : 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 : 6 : 7 : 8 : 9 : 10 : |

Onno's had a word with the owner :
Automatic should not be a problem. The owner will get in touch with the dyno manufacturer to find out if there is anything extra he can do for auto runs. He has done auto BMWs before but not the larger engined cars. His feeling is it should be OK. For those cars which get upset having their bonnets open at speed, the data cables are very thin and will sink in the bonnet rubber allowing the bonnet to close - this should cause no problems with engine temperatures. Traction control will be switched off by removing the fuse on those cars whose TC cannot just be switched off. Date picked is 15 March. We will need full payment from participants by 20 Feb |
