BCC is a great Autocross venue. The course area isn't large, but it is relatively clean, features air-conditioned bathrooms and is only a few miles from food.

This course featured an optional hairpin at the end of the back straight that really offered up an advantage to anyone who could read the course. Taking the corner from the left gate was much faster, as most cars were able to bypass a braking point when entering the corner.

The final section was a laughably easy offset slalom that most lighter cars could fly through with only the lightest steering input, though the section before it gave everyone fits (and inspired an interesting 2-1 upshift question from a lot of the 4 cylinders.

This course had two cheap tricks:

1. The back spoon was much faster from the left.
2. The south section was much faster if you intentionally set up the straight from just outside the course.

Here is a map of some of the fastest (and slowest) lines we saw on that course

I ended up finishing 1st in Novice stock with a final time of 38.246! This was only a tenth of a second faster than the second place finisher, Jeremy Laughrun in a 2007 Chevy Cobalt SS. What is interesting to note, is that Jeremy got his best time in the dry, and did not compete in the rain, where my best time was achieved while plowing through puddles of rain!
