                    I'm from the banks of the Illinois side of the river in the QC, you know, the correct side. LOL I love going over to Iowa for the cheap gas though. I've got 2 e28 535i's , a e30 325ix and a 2002 project. Always up for something to do.

                      So things have not quite worked out with the swap and having it done next week chances are low. :( At this point I just hope it's done by august. LOL
                      Also, saw a super clean black e28 in clinton the other day. I was going to work otherwise I would have followed :P
                      If I can't make eurowerkz I still wanna show off the car, so if anything comes up post up in this thread. Even bmwcca events.
                      And another topic, was in Davenport today with my dad at kimberly bmw and we test drove the new f30 335i for the drive for usa event. My dad was shaking when we got back :)

                        Did the black e28 in Clinton have a front bumper? I'm in Clinton quite a bit, since its right across the river from where I live. I see a couple of different e30's there but never another e28. I also have a white 535is I drive around the QC area too. And as of this week my e30 325ix is back to full health and I'll probably start driving that around. The e28's both have mye28.com decals and the e30 is sporting a r3v decal.

Not sure if any of you are members but some of the stuff and drives they do are pretty neat. Almost everyone else has e46 and e90 M3's or M5's.
                          I was at that event, in my E46 M3 lol.


                          I live in Cedar Rapids, but travel statewide for BMW CCA events. Hit a few PKG events each year too.
                          I drove an 88 325is for 6 years, but now daily drive a 90 325i with Bilstein/Eibach, Ireland sways, 16s with Star Specs, lightweight flywheel, 3.73 LSD, UUC short shift kit, power leather E36 seats, M-tech 1 wheel and "is" front lip.

                          Also have a track prepped 94 332i and 03 X5 4.4i

                          We should all drive out west for the E30 picnic next year

                                Everyone vote for Greenwood.

                                The $5,000 would fund a race track consultant to conduct a feasibility study of redeveloping the original track alignment with current safety regulations.

                                Link to voting website:
                                The goal of Greenwood Motorsports is to redevelop the dilapidated Greenwood Roadway and create a motorsports country club for automotive enthusiasts. This motorsports facility would be a local, regional and national level attraction supporting local businesses and promoting Central Iowa. The original Greenwood Roadway race track was a three-mile sports car racing track located on Hwy 65 south of Indianola in Warren County. It was open from 1963 to 1966. Racing greats including Carroll Shelby, Jim Hall, Al and Bobby Unser, and Ed Leslie raced at Greenwood Roadway. www.greenwoodroadway.com 50 years after sports cars first came to Iowa, a small group of automotive enthusiasts and I hosted the Greenwood Revival event. This event included seminars on the track design from people who were involved in the original site selection and design. There were stories from local residents who were corner workers, spectators and even local drivers who raced there back in the 1960’s. There was an opportunity for all attendees to drive the track in its current dilapidated state and preview cars that raced there as well. The event was attended by hundreds of enthusiasts reliving the past and looking forward to the future. www.greenwoodrevival.com The $5,000 would fund a race track consultant to conduct a feasibility study of redeveloping the original track alignment with current safety regulations.




                                Cliff notes - Vote once a day everyday through the 21st of October for a 3 mile midwest road course named Greenwood. Votes go towards a Grant to fund a race track consultant.
