I'm aware that some members and some mods have issues with the organizer of this event, but if you're into BMW, Mercedes, and a few exotics, this event gives you the chance to see some great cars for free. I plan to stop by QSL after Cars & Coffee Saturday. They plan to show cars there from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

 

When: June 8th and 9th, 2012

 

WHAT: Timmayfest is a Nation Wide BMW/Mercedes Benz/Exotics car meet put together by true enthusiasts. It is not a car "show" and there is no entrance fee. It is just a gathering of people who share a passion for high performance driving machines. We had 130 cars in 2010 and over 200 cars in 2011. We have people attending from all over the country, CA, GA, FL, NY, MD, PA, MI, IN, MN, KY, TN, VA, for example. It is a chance to finally meet some of the people we talk to every day on this forum.....

 

Friday June 8th - Dyno Day, 9am - 2pm - We hard holding a Dyno Day at IPS Motorsports. They have 2 dynos for us to use. They are offering 3 pulls for $35. Come and put your car on the dyno or just tour the shop and check out some of the other cars strap in and put up some numbers.

Friday June 8th - Drag Night, 4pm - 11pm - Eurocharged has graciously PRIVATELY RENTED the Marion County International Raceway for our use. MCIR is a 1/4 drag strip. There is no charge to attend and watch, but there will be a $50 fee for anyone wishing to race to help pay for the track rental. Remember, this event is for BMW/Mercedes/Exotic cars only. We had a lot of fun last year. It is a great chance to line up against your friends and put your cars to the test. This is not overly formal. There are plenty of safety rules, but you don't have to be an experienced drag racer to participate. Last year was my first time ever on a drag strip!

The Quaker show was a good time. Enjoyed chatting with the dozen or so CR folks who showed up to see some great cars. Thanks to Wheel-Medic for providing the shade on a hot day. :cool: And of course thanks to Tim for organizing all this.

 

Especially for you, Jones:

As I approach senility, I'm finding that I'm increasingly "mixing up" details about my cars. I guess I was having a senior moment at the entrance when I claimed that the car was a seldom-seen 1960's prototype of a BMW 1-series. :o

 

Yea that car was awesome Doc, very slick

 

Thanks. The spectators and participants were all very kind ..... not at all the snobs that some folks think attend Timmayfest. That car brings a grin to everyone's face and children flock to it (prolly because they think clowns are about to emerge from it). :D

Glad not everyone thinks of us as snobs.

 

I was on the otherside parked on the lawn

Doc, you car is AWESOME. Thank you for coming. It drew a lot of attention!

Yes Jones, there were a few Audis there. I must have been eating lunch when they showed up or I would have not let them in....... (Sarcasm, if you missed that.) Granted, they were some pretty ghetto Audis, one of them said he couldn't join us for the police escort/dinner because his headlights didn't work? WTF? They still got into the meet. It would have been nice to meet the Jones in person who apparently isn't the asshole he portrays online? That's just what I've read....... Not that I know that for a fact.

 

Anywho, we had a great time at IPS Friday morning/afternoon, which is an AWESOME shop BTW. We then continued the fun at MCIR on Friday night even though it was 90 degrees, and had great weather for the meet on Saturday.

 

In the end everyone was friendly, except for a couple of Cobra replica guys (I think they were Cobras) who were pissed about having to park out back.

 

We also managed to raise $3500 for The Wounded Warrior Project®, an organization I am very proud to be donating to.

You're funny Tim.

 

I think you fail to realize what "joking" is. You should probably open a dictionary and start reading.

 

Classy though, you complain about how CR dislikes you on ohiobimmers, then come over here and do the opposite.

 

Congrats for acting the same way you do in real life. Makes me wonder what you say about the ohio crowd to all your cool M5 friends behind our backs about our autocross and track ways

 

:lolguy:

The event was awesome for a good cause, regardless of the name.

 

Im done, but i guess i gotta quit being sarcastic on the internets, some people don't know that saying "Drag Racing (with the LOL guy meme)" is a complete joke and instead start personally attacking others and telling them to F Off (btw Tim i caught that before you deleted it)

 

Continue on.

 

Sorry for the initial "insult" Tim.
