adstock 10-07-2008, 08:19 PM Ill be at BMW CCA this sunday...
I dont have a SA helmet for SVT...
Neither do I, I was looking to buy one but I don't really want to spend the money right now because I'm trying to save for a winter car. Does anyone know if they have any loaners at the SVT autox's? Also, what does bmwcca require, a M-rated helmet?
55fanatic 10-07-2008, 09:14 PM Correct, I usually borrow a friends Motorcycle helmet and its ok... I dont believe SVT has loaners
p0cket penguins 10-07-2008, 09:49 PM they might have loaners but im not sure.... ill try to find the event coordinators email
savage217 10-08-2008, 12:36 AM They have loaners at the bmw cca autox's

That ///M 325 Type R (That's what the back badges said... :D ) was absolutely insane. I couldn't believe how fast it was, and it sounded amazing as well. I thought I saw a bimmerforums.com sticker on it too? Anyone recognize it?
Overall a fun day!!

Not bad for a first timer, the winner for the street tire class got 107 secs and my best was a 113 with one cone that I just skimmed, every single time I went out, my times were getting better and better so with a couple more runs I think I could have gotten like a 110.

98 or 99 Alpine on dove from Maine. He was an older fellow, probably in his fifties. I remember he had a stock exhaust(+5hp right there :D, just remembering the dyno day), blue TMS front hub extenders and maybe koseis, I forget.
Oh yeah, I got my car to tick :(.
