I'm going to Ofest this year and I got a lot to do!

[JeffNJM3]

I decided to take my M3 of the 3000+ round trip to Ft. Worth TX from NJ this year and I've realized how much work i have to do to get the car ready. I've already done alot like finish reupholstering my interior, i've repainted the front brakes, working on the rears, etc, I've made 2 lists and took some pictures as I worked. Look at the pic of the gas tank, they actually cut it in 1/2 and welded it back together, amazing:) Also look at the old guibo, somehow the one bolt welded itself to the guibo, i couldn't break it loose with my impact gun

Anyone else going to O'fest??

I went last year and had a blast, definitely do the track day it is well worth it. The only draw back is cost, and I really don't know what they are spending the money on. It cost me 200 dollars just to register for the event last year plus the track day, beer, food, hotel, gas, beer etc.

LOL same thing i was thinking.

[JeffNJM3]

I will be keeping the drug running tank, I was thinking of making a hanging light out of it to put over my bar:) Yeah O'fest is really expensive, the hotel is the Hilton, 3000+ miles of gas, premium, food ,beer and all, but hey isnt that was Visa is for :) I did sign up for the track day, it will be my first time on a track and I can't wait!

[Firestorm]

[Jonathan M3]

Main expense as I understand it is the dinner recpetion food is paid for every night.
