Unfortunately it was a lady who was all over the road, did not use point-by's, did not yield when entering the track and had no clue what a driving line was.

Somebody has to feed the stereotype.

I think I saw another Jaguar out there!

Had a great time, but as usual, I did not get enough photos! Well I'll have to remember for next time.

A few driver's all over the place yesterday, including the E92 M3, but over all a fun day!

Me driving in the 2nd session:













A sweet 2002


Alex in his racecar:


A cool M3, but the older driver was all over the road (and the dirt), even though he said he tracks the car regularly:






Friso's quick 318ti:



Both 535i's matched up well against each other:


Tony's quick 2.8L 325i, and the 2002:

Signed up for tomorrow. Think the race car might be sold, so it'll be the last run.

You can definitely see how the e30 isn't much slower than you through most of the track just because of getting on the gas sooner with a different driving line.

Yep, the straights aren't long so the driving line is much more important than power. A couple more times out and I should be much quicker.

Cool, as a tip, I'd suggest bringing extra fluids and spare brake pads just in case. Some people bring a second set of tires, I think that's a fair idea, but not necessary.

Not sure if you are caravanning with Roger, but I could meet you near I70 if you weren't sure where you were going exactly.

thanks for the tip, Roger is the one who told me about it, so Im assuming we'll meet up, a small caravan would be cool

I'm going this Saturday, really excited, it will be my first time out on the track.

Should have timed some of my laps, but didn't even think about it until the day was done. But I seem to have a 3rd gear syncro that has died and gone to a better place.... That was a little annoying, and I suppose that means I'll need to rebuild the trans sometime this winter. Anyone have a spare Getrag 265 lying around that I can either swap in or rebuild and then swap in?

Stoked you guys had fun. Looking forward to next weekend.
