Hellrot 06-24-2003, 07:19 PM I'm going Sat afternoon for the SPEED GT race. Then back on Sun starting with the Pit walk, hanging around the paddocks, checking out the SPEED Touring cars and the race, and of course the main event. Plus buying overpriced brats for the 10-year-old bottomless pit that I'll bring with me.

hi guys!
minsoo, thank you for thinking of me. i'd love to go, but i have a recording session all weekend long. the session leader would freak if i tried to cancel...
also, sorry i couldn't make the meet on the 22nd. had to fix my jeep's abs system and lost a bass playing friend to a heart attack, to boot. it wasn't a good weekend.
please keep me in the loop on the next get together, though!!!!
G. P. Burdell 06-25-2003, 03:28 PM While I was at Global Imports BMW today, I snapped pictures of a race-prepped Ferrari 348 Challenge that was parked just outside the used car lot. Could it (and its driver) be in town for one of the Grand Prix races?
SteveB 06-25-2003, 11:12 PM I have to do inventory Saturday at work which usually takes until midnight. If I'm not too beat I plan on going on Sunday. Hope to see you guys there. I usually start out watching the races between no-name and 4... the short shoot before the esses.
Bremsen 06-26-2003, 02:17 PM I'll be up most the day on Friday and probably return for the races Sat (WC) & Sun(WC & ALMS).
MGRMLN 06-26-2003, 06:54 PM Adam,
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.
It was fun to be able to finally put faces to names.
I wasn't able to make the drive portion because of work anyway.
I'll snap some pics on Sunday for you.
Count,
I'll PM you about heading up together.

punknamedjimmy 06-28-2003, 06:27 PM hey, you just called me :) haha.... anyways yeah we will probably be there about 11.... we might be in my friends jeep though cause thats what we went up in today and the little parking thing they gave us is stuck to the window, so we don't wanna try and peel it off and have the letters rip off and them not let us use it since it's 25 bucks to park
i saw i think his name is scott sn is blubimmer, he drove by us when it was raining out... i saw some other guy that i recognized from the bmw meet but i never met him....
some highlights: watching the m3's race
my friend got to get into one of the bmw 328's that is going to be raced tommorow, etc
i took a bunch of pics i'll probably post some
also their is aplace that is right near there that has a bunch of what look like wrecked bmw's or maybe they hvae like blown engine's or whatever, they have a e36 m3 widebody, 2002 turbo and lots of other stuff...
FastM 06-28-2003, 10:01 PM Just got back from saturday at the Gran Prix. It was a lot of fun. Stuck took 2nd in the Speed World Challenge and wooped up on that new Audi RS6. That just shows you how awesome the M's are when an inline 6-cylinder can keep up with a twin turbo 8-cylinder. It was pretty good weather as well. It should be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.
