I got an email from the BMW registrar questioning me if I had signed up for the correct run group. I explained to her how I fully intend on dominating the yellow heat and she should have no worries, just make sure people get out of my way when they see me coming.

Wish it was this weekend.

Dan, do you know where the dinner is being held? I asked her, but she didn't get back to me on that.

the car is running great. Thanks to Petey's help, the car can finally hold boost on the top end now with stock boost controller.

we were going to use Marc's hoosier A6 but he just sold the wheels recently, so i guess we'll be on street tires. should still be fun though. my car is not setup for autox thought, not an excuse, just saying

No big loss not using Marc's A6's, they were so beat that your street tires are probably better...LOL
Car set up is the same as Marc's, his car was not set up for Autox either, you guy's are good to go!

Still haven't heard updates on SSP's Evo X MR trans failure.
the first part of your story is interesting, the second part I don't care about.

Rick you should come out and try one. just stick around the thread and people will talk about then their next event is. I know Pete & Dan are doing NJMP with the BMWCCA at the end of august. I am looking for a good event for September and then I'm going to Shenandoah in October with Trackdaze.

just spoke with my co-worker who did his very first ever track day with EMRA at lightning a couple weeks ago. I asked him what his impression was on a scale of 1-10... he said 11.

Hooked another one!
