Top Gun 2010 Results
Top Gun is a Montana SCCA based event held in the state capitol, Helena.  This was my first year attending this event and I will never miss this event again.  The location of the event is simply incredible.  Surrounded by the awesome scenery of the Rocky Mountains, Top Gun features a huge slab of tarmac for technical Auto Cross and a full road course for extreme speeds and high speed cornering.  This combination resulted in 2 minute runs of pure adrenaline.  There is no other event out there quite like this.

Rodd Tidd and myself represented nwBMWclub by taking first place in D Stock and C Stock.  Kevin Riordan finished 2nd in STU.  As a whole, ASNW and SSSCC members dominated the event with 10 first place finishes, 4 second place finishes and 2 third place finishes.  Congratulations to all local AutoX enthusiasts.  Also, a big thumbs up to Logr Mike for taking FTD RAW and Mikey V for taking FTD Pax at the event.

I hope to have many more BMWs out there next year representing the club.
