Dragon Run August 13th

man Ely, that's tough. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you (really -- just ask).

It's actually the left front that has that hole that always strips out the bolt half way (it tightens, just ruins half the threads).

The car was A LOT different this time. Since I've been there I've done the LSD and the rear end bushings along with the new tires. It did seem to not feel as floaty in the rear, but it wasn't a huge difference. The BFG Sports held better than my Dunlop SP Sports did, so that was a good suprise. They also are a little better when sliding (although the sidewall did fall over at one point, but they needed more air than I had).

I'm hoping KillBoy got the picture of me sliding heavily around a turn (after hitting some dirt in the road), but we'll see. That LSD saved me from dying at that point. I just know that open rear end would have just caused the car to turn around rather than me being able to keep in the gas and straighten it back out.

See yah soon man

I thought it was a front you were having trouble with, I'd look into sanding away the paint where the lugs sit, and putting in some new bolts. Did the wheel completly come off? or stay in the wheel well?
I actualy have a Limited slip lined up that I was going to pick up this week sometime. We are heading home this afternoon and droping my brother off at the knoxville airport(flew down from NYC). Then I guese Wednesday or late Tuesday we'll drive back up. We are hoping to be able to move my Grandfather to UT once he is stable enough, but that may be at least a week. As they still need to fix his elbow and right ankle.

yeah, it was the front drivers that I was having trouble with the lugs getting stripped out. The rear drivers is the one that came off. When I came to a stop my tire was up in the woods, so it managed to come all the way out of the well without hurting anything (I guess I like the higher fender arches of the early cars :))

kyle do you have an e30 too? If so you should really bring it next time. Watching your cars body roll in my rear view was pretty entertaining :D Lighter = better. The Dragon is a lot like an auto-x; lighter and shorter cars are much easier and more fun to drive. That's why Jon drives the s2k instead of his e46 M3 club racer

[kylebes1]

I am in the market for an e30.

I figured my car rolled like a pig. It has fresh stock suspension.

My mother is buying ti when I replace the the hood and remove the dents.. I hope to start that Monday.

there is a really nice hellroit 318is in Alabama that I will probably get when I sell the 5er.

Definitely! That's the kind of road for a car like that too. Something where power is the last thing you need.

[kylebes1]

I wonder if he ever had to brake?

Who all is going on the 18th of September? When gas will be $3 per gallon? LOL

[325i Vert]

I may be there...Sporting my new car 8)
