Auto-X Sacramento June 2/3 I know you losers won't show up!

[norm]

I don't know why I even bother posting this, as I know nobody will race. Everybody talks about more power and big brakes, yet afraid to take it to the track. A bunch of garage queens. I bet your 2002's don't even run!

I hope this motivates somebody; you're not really losers and I love all of you

I may actually go to this one Norm being it's so close.

How about Sunday? Let's race in the second group, that way we don't have to get there too early. I have some friends meeting at the Rubicon at 9:00 am for breakfast before we head-up to Mather around 10:00. Registration closes at 11:00 so we should have enough time.

I was going to make both days ( might as well get my 35$ worth )

I have some friends that are going also ( they are regulars ), I believe they normally run the morning group but I'll know better tonight and post back up.

That's really clever. I wish "old grand pa" still had this in his garage.

Just a quick reminder about breakfast if you can make it. The Rubicon is at the corner of 20th Street and Capitol Ave. Try and make it even if you don't plan on racing.

I went today and we were in the afternoon group for street mod. I had a great time and learned a whole bunch about my car, well 3 main things anyway.

I need some real front tires, not the hockey puck M&S on the front now.

I need some stiffer rear springs, the cut stock ones aren't cutting it.

I seriously MUST HAVE an LSD, smoking the inside rear tire all the time does not make for fast laps.

Street mod is in the morning group tommorow.

[norm]

What class did you run? LSD is something need too. I also push my front tires. What pressure did you have them set at?

Norm

[Pinepig]

Street Mod, it's what I fit is acording to the nice lady that helped me out.

I think I set my tires Friday at 32 rear and 34 front

How was day 2 ?? How many other BMWs were out there?

I stayed in the North Valley, catch you next time.

[Pinepig]

I ran first group, Norm was in the second group.

There were a couple of pretty radical E36s an E30 M3 and a E30 318 that I saw.

I got a good video of your third run and your right front tire does lock up at least three times. Nice and smooth otherwise. I learned something too this weekend. Always walk the track. I got lost on the first two times out and made a fool of myself. The course workings we're yelling at me as I almost went backwards. Actually it seems that others DNF'ed this way too. Not a good day at the track. One run completed @73.215

I beat ya with a 70. The run you taped was a 72 and I did really crappy in a couple of spots where I overdrove the car ( hence the locked tires ).

I'd love to see that footage, if you can get it under 10 megs you can Email it to me at Imapinepig at surewest dot net .
