WTF?! are you supposed to do when your detachable headphone earbud remains in your ear as you remove your headphones when you’re cruising down the highway alone?  Of course, you remove it from your ear with your fingers.  WTF?! do you do when that just jams it further into your ear canal?  Of course…  you continue driving the hour + trip home hoping that your wife can remove it and save you the embarrassment of a potentially history making e-room visit.

Luckily this WTF?! moment occurred to BahnBaum after the first BMWCCA National Capitol Chapter autocross held at the Maryland State Police training facility in Sykesville, MD.  TeamWTF?! descended upon the nether regions of Carroll County and featured John V driving the Unlimited classed supercharged One Lap veteran clownshoe to the fast time of the day.  “Those five cones on the first run were just get warmed up,” John V said after his runs were complete.  “It’s just a little bit different than that torqueless wonder.  But I tell you what…this clownshoe thing ain’t no poseur P-car neither.”  When reminded of what his daily driver is, his reply was, “What are gonna do?” Mr. V,

Little things like parking lot shock swaps didn’t get in the way of Bren dominating Modified Super Sport.  “If there’s one thing that I’ve learned since becoming a part of Team WTF?!,” Bren said,  “it’s that you can’t get bent out of shape over little things.  At least no one got my car airborne today or put scratches all over the side.  A quickie shock swap? Bah!  WTF?! is wrong with that?”

Nick took the event as an opportunity to practice for the upcoming Pro Solo in a borrowed E36 M3.  The car was either hampered or enhanced by indecipherable Nickstein WTF?! tuning.  No one is really sure which it was.  How will the car do at FedEx late in June is anyone’s guess, since how the car will be set up is also anyone’s guess.  On the tuning, Nick had this to day: “People around here give me a lot of crap for always making adjustments to the cars I drive.  But WTF?! do they know?  Let me tell you, the 24 years that I’ve spent on this earth have given me the utmost experience in knowing just exactly what shock and alignment adjustments to make based on microscopically small changes in barometric pressure, ambient humidity and the up to the moment trends in real estate market fluctuations.  Nickstein tuning is a way of life.”  Resident Team WTF?! physician has scheduled a consult on Nick’s with Dr. Nick of Upstairs Hollywood Medical School.

BahnBaum, unaware of his pending aural adventure, disproved the “I’m faster closer to home” theory by taking  second in Prepared Sport.  Upon completion of his runs, he immediately called Mrs. BahnBaum to tell her the good news…and thus began his adventure.

Perhaps the biggest WTF?! surprise of the day was the unexpected appearance of JST in his ZHP. “Mrs. JST thinks that I out buying baby paraphernalia.”  When asked if she might get a little suspicious when he’s out of the house for hours, he responded, “Oh no…She knows that I have no clue what to buy and she fully expects me to wander the isles of Babies R Us for four hours, get frustrated and leave empty handed.  So this is perfect.”

Of course, none of these results can be verified until NCC releases results, which typically means sometime in 2008.
