    How about meeting at the new JD Karting place in Novi? I've run there a few times, decent karts. Not nearly as fast as the gassers out at Kart2Kart, but possibly more accessible since I know there are a quite a few e30 peeps on this side of town.

    Since my e30 isn't exactly street-able, I am more than up for a weekday test-and-tune or weekend trackday at Gingerman. I plan to head out there before the CHumpCar race in June anyway, might as well try to make it a fun e30 gathering!

      Hehe, yeah in person I'm not so talkative, but that was a lot of fun and I hope to do that again. Reminds me that I need to get working on mine so I have a reliable e30 this summer. RIP the red eta...

        I'm personally not a fan of JD. You just don't get your money's worth compared to Kart-2-Kart, especially with the new karts. We have a group of guys over at my work that go out to Kart-2-Kart every other Tuesday if anyone is interested.

          Extreme Indoor Kart Racing (EIKR) in Clio has a really good deal on Wednesday. 8 races for $45, which is decent IMO.

            $5.62 a race is really cheap, but Clio is pretty far for me.

                I was disappointed no other e30s showed up at kart 2 kart today! I was outnumbered pretty heavy by the e46 and e9x crowd!

                  Its like pulling teeth to get Michigan e30 guys to participate in any sort of a meet or get together. Me, nsquared, crazyjew and others have experienced this with previous attempts of meets or events. Nobody ever wants to drive a distance and we're all spread out.

                  Once I get my m30 swapped e30 on the road again, I'll be looking for some meets tho.

                    What are you talking about dishwab. I was there and I saw a red 4dr ix. Where were you?

                    Got to go out in a 535 w/ M30 yesterday after Kart2Kart and now I'm questioning the stroker I wanted. I would love to experience an M30 powered e30 if possible

                      Really? Maybe I just left too early... I was there from like 9-1030 but had to jet. I retract my previous statement!

                        Have you heard of/are you planning on coming to Eurohangar? It's over here in Holland, supposed to be a pretty big meet this summer.

                            Main site there. Seems to be predominately stance VW/Audi guys, but I do know of a couple E30's that should be there. If I'm not out racing, I plan on going, just most likely won't have my car in the show.

                            FB page for the event:
                            Euro Hangar will take place at the Park Township Airport on June 29 2013. Pre-registration is currently open at www.eurohangar.net/registration. We encourage pre-registration to ensure things move...

                              I marked my calendar. I'll be there. Tho I probably won't be in the show either.

                              Then the following weekend I'm planning on going to Ted-Fest. Anybody that'd like to caravan to that, is more than welcome. We've got at least 3 of us going so far.

                                That whole thing makes me laugh a little, i'm from Holland originally and my parents still live there never really knew they tried to pull stuff around there. Great place to visit though really.
