125c? Youch!

My M3 (no oil cooler, ~245whp) was running 95-100c all day. It would spike to 105 when I pulled in the pits.

It was slow out there today for me. I was running 2:06.xx all day, had passengers every session. Car was handling OK, not great. Going to stiffen up the spring rates and back off on the swaybars a bit.

Didn't make it out Friday, ended up out of town...

Chris - Was looking at some old pics and found your car in one of them! Mine was the other Alpine M3 in the pic. I think this was 2007.

That looks eerily like the old Coors Field autocross site. I started autocrossing in my scoob there in 2007.

Crazy! That was the first season I was autocrossing too, I think. Definitely coors field. I see Garrett's old 330i as well as John Scheier's ex-M3.

Cool stuff!

What is the issue? Not responsive enough?

I've a new laundry list of things to fix and improve by next time. Brakes/shock rebuild/exhaust/this damn dipstick/air ducting. Overheating for the most part is gone.

Also learned sleep is good to have.

Fun fact: HPR is just about 100miles from my house. AAA Plus paid for itself yesterday.

I loved the track, it really was a lot of fun. I can't wait until I get to go out in my car.

[Bimmerman325i]

It's a great track. Looking at my videos I was running consistent 2:16-2:18s despite an unhappy car and a lot of fatigue. Also lots of areas I could improve on.

[Eric]

Eric, any chance you could email me the data? The fsae race engineer in me likes playing around with these things.

Yeah, for sure. what's your email addy?

Eric your car is so much fun! I want it so badly...

Everything is for sale for the right price!:shock:

yeah, 100c would make me much more comfortable! Next time out I'll have to grab you for a few laps to see where I can go faster. I had a ton of fun for being my first time on track, and I know a few corners that i'm butchering pretty bad.
