BMW Race Team on Display in Tacoma Saturday Morning

[Mark 42]

There is a place called Griot's Garage in Tacoma.

They do a thing they call "Caffeine & Gasoline" on the first Saturday
each month.

I heard a radio ad which said that there will be a BMW Race team
on display this Saturday. I only caught part of the radio spot,
and wasn't paying close attention, so I don't know what team or
how many cars. It may be just one or two cars and nothing else,
or could be cars, haulers, drivers... I don't know.

But the place has a mini museum that is worth going to if you
are from the area, and I think they serve coffee and donuts.

If I find out more, I'll post it later.

I don't actually know what Pro-3 is, but that sounds familiar, and
IIRC that is what the radio ad said.

Gotta warn everyone, They only serve Donuts and Coffee in the morning.
We went once not realizing "Caffeine and Gasoline" is an early morning
thing, and missed the main part of the "Display Event". It starts at 8:00, and IIRC, it ends by 10:00.

It looks like there's a BMW Tech Session afterwards starts at 11:00.
I'm guessing that it will be a BMW focused session on how to use
their car detailing products (?).

Yes, there is going to be a bunch of the PRO3 cars on display.. I think the Jager car might even be out.

There's one for sale around here:

There's also another E30 Race car for sale that is worth
looking at the pictures just because of the outstanding build quality:

8 am? Who schedules this stuff?

Morning people shouldn't be allowed to organize events.

If God had meant for man to see the sun rise,
he would have scheduled it at noon.

Exactly!

Sounds like I'm going to be there. Would be cool to meet some of you kids there.

I plan to be there. I'll be in a 2000 Excursion - white with a diesel.
I'll have the wife & two kids. Maybe I'll PM you a picture tomorrow.

Is there a R3VLimited tee-shirt yet?

[ClausE30]

I might try to make this, looks like a good time.

[IronJoe]

I'll be there. I love the Caffeine & Gasoline events. Always a good time.

I wonder if i can get them to show how great their products are on shitty paint using my car as an example.;)

[Mark 42]

I'll be wearing a cammo jacket & boonie hat.

For cammo officianados... the jacket is German Flecktarn, and the hat is Marpat. Jacket has small German flags on the shoulders.

Who knows, maybe I'll drive my first bimmer there (if I buy one
between now and Saturday... )
