Well, it's a long story, but I had to miss the BMW club day last week. So, I signed up to do the Team Continental HPDE for tomorrow (May 25) even though it looks like rain. Al, are you still planning on going? Anyone else?

 

Shoot, Kent. I couldn't get the time off and I've only been able to put about 300 miles on my car so far so. I'm thinking about getting in on the next one. If I knew you were going to be out there, I would have planned on it and called in sick..........

 

So how was it, Kent?

The BMW club is going out again on 8/8. I think I'll try and make that one. My car should be broken in completely and I'll have some new wheels and tires to try out (although I might just use the stockers and save the ps2's.)

 

Yep, I had a good time yesterday. The track was dry for 3 of the 4 sessions, and the one session in the wet was definitely a useful learning experience.

I ran in group 2 (of 4), and think I represented myself pretty well in a group with some nice cars including a John Cooper Works Mini Cooper S, a Dinan M3 and a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale. But the highlight was running down and passing a brand-new Ford GT. Ok, so he was being REALLY, REALLY conservative, but it was still a blast watching that beautiful beast getting closer with every lap.

I'll try add a bit more in the next couple of days -- I'm on call at work today and getting my butt kicked. This is the first break I've had since 7:00 this am, and now I've got to try to get some sleep before I get called again.

BTW Al, since I had already registered and paid for the BMW day, I've asked them to move my application to the 8/8 school. It would be nice to actually coordinate something this time.

 

You guys need to get some pics.

Maybe if Im around I can head up there there sometime and meet you guys at the track and shoot some pics.

 

Let's do it, Kent.
