I think there is another 1 or 2 sec at least in there for me to drop but I'm thinking of maybe going to a built m42 someday .... what does your car weigh with 4 cyl ?

E30s on the uphill!

Haven't had the chance to throw it on the scales, however I am planning on on removing a few things before i get it on the scales(AC system needs to be removed). I'm feeling it will make it in the 22-2300's I think, possibly low 24xx's not sure though.

Extra light since we lost the hood on the first day.... (car was already pretty light ~2300 or so)

Road America w/ bend (instead of kink - the course the motorcycles use)
3:00.45.

Sunny and a cool ~50 degrees.

Car was capable of a low 2:58 per data acquisition from the 3 drivers that ran. I unfortunately never got behind the wheel. Aero impact of the hood being gone was probably a half a second or so.

Ran BW CW13 in a lemons race but with 150 cars on track and a flailing fuel pump I was lucky to make it around the track safely. 944 Slid off my door at one point. I would love to go back and redeem myself as that was not a fun experience.

Ran Autoclub Speedway in the Chump car after a replacement engine, have no times for that, but it was a fun track. Went for a couple ride alongs in a Spec Miata and a built C5 Corvette. Corvette was fast, but the Miata was just way too much fun.

Nasa will be back at Buttonwillow this June 23/24th. Should be lots of fun as it will be the California Crown event for Spec E30. NocCal and SoCal Spec E30 will be battling it out on track for prize money and bragging rights. Lets hope the NorCal guys can play nice. ;)
