I believe that black chair is in the timing trailer. Preliminary Results are up. Please notify me in this thread or over PM if there are any changes that need to be made. I thought my runs were 43.0 +1, 43.4+1, 43.4 clean, I forget, I forget, 43.2 clean. But I may have missed some cones in there. I...

The car is fun but I clearly have a lot of learning to do about all this RWD stuff.

Great event!

Which camber plates? I am in desperate need of some, my stock hats and bilsteins with H+Rs arent cutting it. The Ground Control street plates: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1503114 I'd get the race ones for your purposes. The only negative thing I've heard about them is that...

Hoping to have the camber plates on the M3 by then..

If I were angling to win the overall, I'd try to get 6 morning runs in a small bore car and then run 6 runs in the afternoon in my "top index" fast car. Or 3 small / 3 fast / 3 small / 3 fast - either way you get a lot more looks at the course than someone who only registered once. So does...

FWIW, I had the cheapest shock tower brace available (Greddy/Trust) for my '93 and I felt it made a really noticeable improvement in how the car felt over bumps (i.e. it did not feel like it was going to rattle to pieces). Something to check out, IMHO, since it sounds like that is still unbraced. I ...

I've alway had fun at the NCC events I've done, particularly when I overhear the tech guys say " those cobra's aren't as fast as they look".. That is irony... Seriously they always have really fun open courses and great events. They may even use the lower lot. They did at the August event...

Your house? Mr. Cocky over there :P I want to see if I can squeeeeek out one more PTD out of the season with 2 events left (for me). Well they did name it after me... What does the "P" stand for in PTD? I know what the "F" stands for in FTD. Pax. Pssh if you think my m3 on stree...

No worries. It was to be expected

Was the woman taking pictures there with the newspaper or with us?

Just hoping to get a shot of my car with the new reumz

I suck.

Depends on when you went in the afternoon :P. But yes it did get better for everyone. I think everybody's times dropped a good bit. I couldnt drive for crap or something in the afternoon, and my full wet time AM was 44.96 I beleive and then only a 44.85 in the PM, a whopping .11 improvement from we...

Did it get any better in the afternoon?

Damn, seeing the vid makes me want to get my E36 out there too.

Maybe I'll throw the front bar on and run it instead...

I liked the lot, a bit gravelly and slippery although that may have to do with me mounting a brand new set of tires the night before. I was not prepared for this event, lots of good rubbing on my fenders and I hope dunlops need break in time otherwise im actually quite disappointed in their grip. A...

So was the course design dictated by lightpoles or anything like that? It seemed rather figure-8'y, sorta like a bigger Harry Grove course.

I took mine off back in the day because they scraped so badly at the bumps at Harry Grove.

I don't miss em too much.

WDCR SCCA/AI - For the most part, ride-alongs is not strictly enforced, and usually is more-so enforced by your class members if they are serious about it or competitive. However on the Regional Pro-Solo and National Pro-Solo...you had better not be caught riding along until you finished (especiall...

Fred is just getting us confused with the scca where people aren't allowed to do ride a longs. ;) You can do ridealongs at SCCA events. At WDCR events, you just can't do them until you've completed your runs, so that you don't have an advantage seeing the course more than other folks. *not trying t...

hahaha I was just about to post that pic... I don't think I've seen that much rear wheel lift before. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_H3OLS2dcb7Q/SlIJMcRqcnI/AAAAAAAAu-4/N1YR9J247Wg/s800/JulyPeru%20112.jpg Many more here http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1264885&highlight=rollover <- ...

I attribute my slow times to not having enough stickers on my car. Next time I'll keep in mind to put more tape on my car (and learn to find a better line.) Is the GO!!!!! a tribute to Mikko Hirvonen? Close but not quite, I'm actually a Sebastien Loeb fan :) http://holiday.monacoeye.com/monaco_mont...
