I'm curious to find out a little more about your Mustang.

(I need to update my sig -- my '65 drop-top was sold out from under me by an unscrupulous co-signer.)

Sorry I've been MIA.

The link in the first post does work, but it redirects to: http://www.dvsmith.net/bmw/service/dc_service_shops.php

I'm working on turning it into a wiki...

I know, I know... I've been MIA, in North Carolina for quite a while. (Married life, dogs & a baby left little time & money for track days.)

So, here's the deal: I'm 31 and I've been an E24 owner...

The Liberty station in Danville usually has the best prices on gas, and they sell 100 octane, if you're going for the HPDE trophy.

Much like my habits when attending schools at Summit, I've...

At the moment, I still don't have a tow vehicle (looking at a V8 4Runner or Ridgeline), can't take any vacation/sick/discretionary days (not that I have any) until October 12 (90 day review period)...

...Okay, so there probably aren't any rumors about me (except that one -- I was young and I needed the money, and I've moved past that point in my life). :icon_nerv

As for the other rumors, I'm...

I figured I'd ask Ross first, since it's his suit.

Apparently VIR raised their early season rates by a significant percentage. (IIRC, I read it on NASAforums.)

I've been trying to find this roundel patch for my racing suit... anyone know where I can get it? (No luck with eBay or the first couple of hundred Google results for "BMW patch", etc. I've emailed...

Works fine, here

Interestingly enough, when I first viewed the page, it showed http://forum.nccbmwcca.org/images/ranks/nccbmwcca.rank.gif, but after editing only my track days, it shows...

I entirely understand what you're getting at -- the standards need to be safe, unambiguous and easy to implement.

I can imagine that far worse than the student who shows up with the kirkey bolted...

From a discussion on Bimmerforums:
Our tech consists of a few volunteers who are also students. Our schools are relatively small and we really don't have anyone that knowledgable. Nothing is cut in...

that's one fully loaded E31...

I wonder if there's more competition for 2007 weekend dates than usual.

You might want to ask this over on www.e30tech.com

Failing that, I can recommend Dan Martin in Gaithersburg, MD to work on E30s.

Edit: now...

FT,

PCA's all well and good, so long as you have a Porsche VIN... er, serial number handy. But for those of us who don't own a little piece of Zuffenhausen, the discussion is moot. And the "dual...

Prof. Booty, you might want to be a little more specific as to what you're planning on doing... (SpecE30/E36, I presume... Do you want an LSD? What ratio? 2-door/4-door? Etc...)

Plus, there's some...

It's used to persuade us slow drivers to go faster, right? :icon_2gun

F=M*A

In order to apply enough pressure at the base of your neck to break the skin bone and spinal column, you'd have to be traveling somewhere in the neighborhood of a few thousand miles per...

When I attend an HPDE, I clean out the car the night before, removing everything that I don't want or need on the drive out or during the track day. For track-day stuff, I've found that a big...

I, for one, welcome our new automatic-parallel parking overlords.

Sheesh.

I, like BMW North America don't get why Americans keep asking BMW to sell the one series in America. Why don't Americans, who keep asking for a small, efficient, affordable BMW, realize...

Chris, you should have come by the SpecE30 quarantine zone and said hi.

Glad the car looks fast. Unfortunately, in a spec series, insufficient negative camber, a stock exhaust and 100lbs of...

I put a GT40 mkIV data plate on the race car... do you think I've convinced anyone that it's a vintage LeMans racer? (Maybe if I put a faux Gurney bubble on it?) :icon_joy:
