Well, I've had quite an eventful 24 hours! Got off work a little early Friday to catch an Amtrak to go 200 miles north to pick up my car and then drive it 80 miles back south
Helped me buddy Bryce put it back together. Was looking damn good now!
While doing that we started talking about my battery tie down that I made a few years back. Wasn't quite up to snuff anymore so we decided to make a new version. Somehow I forgot to take the finished pic but we welded a stud and made a wider bracket to hold it down
Once that was done I drove down to Buttonwillow to meet up with my brother and my buddy. Next morning the cars were ready and so were we
Ready to go!
Game face on
Was averaging 2:2Xs in the early sessions but my brother was just a few seconds behind with his 16v 190 so I stepped it up in the final session and ended up with the best time of the 3 cars barely edging out the mustangs 2:14 with a 2:13.
Final score, E30=1, 190=0
Loving this car more each day. I'll be painting the bottom of the rear valence like the OEM bottom is, the paint was too fresh to do it the other night. Part of me wants to leave it white and get some IS skirts or something and painting those white also
On a side note, I met this guy named Ed Gilbert and got to ride in his 2016 Porsche 911 Turbo S. Damn thing is a rocket!
As the day winded to a close, a dashing looking young man started talking to me and how he also has a E30 with just a regular M50and we come to find out that it's none other than Nasty Nate aka Wheeeee30
Small world! I plan to be in NorCal in June to drive Laguna Seca, maybe he'll be out there. We'll see!
