Home Track Advantage

uring the weekend of May
3rd-5th, fourteen National
Capital Chapter BMW Club
Racers competed in a field of 50
drivers from across the Eastern US
and Canada at our 4th annual BMW
CCA Club Race at Summit Point
Motorsports Park.
Much like professional sports
teams often enjoy a home field
advantage, racers often produce
their best results at their home track.
Besides just having more laps under
your belt compared to those from
different regions, home track advantage
results from knowing the
nuances of the circuit, particularly
when it comes to changing weather
and track conditions.
Heading into the weekend, the
forecast looked bleak, with rain predicted
for most of Saturday and
Sunday. However, Saturday morning's
practice was the only session
to run in full wet conditions. A light
mist lingered during the two races
on Saturday afternoon, but most
racers elected to run their slick (drypavement)
tires. Several racers got
caught out as the light mist turned to
a heavier drizzle during the feature
race, and unfortunately, both races
