Yeah
he was a little impatient. 2200 lb car with 250 hp and raceslicks makes a person impatient at times.

Roy;
Which series/class did that M3 run in (or was it just a car built for open club track days/lapping, etc. like our BMWCCA)??

That is the way I remember leaving the Pacific Northwest some 15 years ago. Rain , Rain and more rain.

I've never been on the track during a downpour like that, but I did lap pacific in a drizzle once. I ended up spinning out in 5a because I got nervous and lifted...d'oh!

I've been at Pacific Raceway 5 times this year and only 1 dry day. I was at Spring Mountain last April for their Corvette Day. That's a nice track.

Here is a video of an early morning run at Pacfic Raceway.

Is that the HUD that comes with the Vettes or is that something else?

Yes that is the HUD that comes on the Vettes.

Here's some pictures of Spring Mountain.








My dad couldn't tell which car was mine when he was trying to take pictures as I went by on the straight. He made a scar on the passenger side, so he could tell which one was mine.


Here's a couple picture from my car about to go on the track. This is two different runs.





and of course, a picture of my car.

Stuck behind a few slow cars at BIR



Middle of Turn 1 at BIR



Turning in to Turn 3 at BIR (Note the smoke from decel following me from running extra oil to prevent starvation in the corners... ... Won't need to do that with the new Improved Racing oil pan baffle! Hopefully....)



Running down a "Nissmo tuned" Altima...
