    Listen, retard...

    On public roads, there are always factors you can't control; animals, sand/gravel, THE OTHER DRIVERS, etc.

    On a race track all of those things are cancelled out.

    What don't you understand about that?

    Your attitude is just like that of every other punk kid that thinks he's a hot shit driver and is in total control. One day someone might pull out from a side road right in front of you and in that split second before you t-bone the hell out of their car, the point I'm making will hit home.

    You'd better get registered online soon, it's filling up fast.

    hahaha, it's funny how you have perceived it, but thanks for showing me how you think, sir... moreover, it makes me think of how you approach canyon riding...? more important is what kind of racing experience do you have...? it says, E30: s52 + Jackstands for a loooooooong time now... if you have any racing experience, then you would be more diplomatic with your responses just like many other forum whores in here(:)), however, that is not the case here, so we were just wondering what's up...? what's crack'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEn'? what's with the energy we forum-whores are feeling from you...? please, sir, we want to understand you especially if we are all going to stay in this forum and meet up in person at the gatherings... come on, sir, I apologize to you personally if my posts offends you; just keepin' it real

    hahaha, thanks for understanding, sir... when driving such canyon routes or even in a race, one needs to be digitally ready and aware of the environment just like how you said,
    When i go canyon riding i never go past 70% of my (track tested) capability and i always granny my way up hill taking mental notes of where the new rock piles and sandy patches are for that day......There is a big difference between spirited driving and being wreckless....I don't suppose anyone who is on this forum always takes a freeway on or off ramp at the posted speed. If we did we'd be driving toyota echos and getting almost 40mpg...

    the people that died had their minds distracted because they were being "cocky dumb asses (thanks for the much better words, einstein57)" carrying plenty of negative energy and not being like water, my friend...

    I'll definitely have it out there. I've already been autocrossing it for the past year -- it will be at the San Diego BMWCCA autocross on March 22.

    You don't have to show me how to drift, I'm sure I'll pick it up fairly quickly even though I've never done any sanctioned drifting events...

    Yes, yes there are dumb asses everywhere. There are people who feel they need to go balls out or test what there cars can do. When i go canyon riding i never go past 70&#37; of my (track tested) capability and i always granny my way up hill taking mental notes of where the new rock piles and sandy patches are for that day. But almost everytime i go up there i see someone get airlifted out. There is a big difference between spirited driving and being wreckless. I probably drive my car slower then i ride with my gf on the back of my bike and she always wants me to slow down. I don't suppose anyone who is on this forum always takes a freeway on or off ramp at the posted speed. If we did we'd be driving toyota echos and getting almost 40mpg. But if polak has tree bark and a dirt chin on his car i'll be the first one talking trash.


    That being said who wants to go to have sunday breakfast and photo shot at necombs ranch next sunday?

    It comes from people saying similar things, I recall years ago, (8 or so now) a group of guys from ClubSi.com were tearing it up on Ortega, and it was daytime, but one of em flipped, and IIRC another guy going into the next series of twisties a bit to hot came right up on the first guy (on his roof, upsidedown) and head-on'ed him off the cliff. It aint worth the chances on the open road, tracks mean at least you'll only kill yourself.

I would love to see your 1989 Alpine White S50 325i [Fun Machine] drifting at the tracks especially at HTM (horse thief mile) or at least let me drive it and show you how to drift it if you don't know how to yet, :) dude, I'll pay for your tires...

    I agree with you. I cruise on the canyons and race on the tracks.

    I agree with e30polak if and only if we were just cruising because I know many people who lost their lives due to driving fast on the canyons. But then at the same time, the ones that I know who has lost their lives usually had plenty of negative energy naturally and didn't pre-check their rides (which is very important), so it has been an energy they have attracted from the get go, hence, they are bound to get it. Others just wanted to live life on the edge. Some may say, "If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun"

    What I'm saying is drive responsibly, don't be subjective, be objective, and most important, bring positivity to one's life especially to thyself which is the biggest challenge in any one's life as also seen in this forum...


    WE'RE ALL IN THIS WORLD TOGETHER, UNTIL YOU DIE, :P

    Come on man, if your going thru wear items from driving on the street, then your going into those canyons a few 10ths too many. Turn down the heat, and don't try getting into that kinda stuff all hot. Thats just asking for trouble, at night, less visability?
