Anyone know if they will supply drinks(water, gatorade, etc.) like they used to?

Weather is supposed to be high 80's - low 90's and low humidity.

Check in if youre going! I'll be there, as well as my dad and the ZHP

They usually have water available. I don't know about Gatorade...

Austin's dad may show up with the RV, in which case there should be plenty of food/drinks to go around.

I should be there with my g/f's Z3.

Richie, do you know if your friend (Lee?) got his roll bar from HMS?

Me and richie installed the roll bar last night....WOW.

Chassis is so much stiffer (supposedly 30% stiffer and 15% less body roll)

It's incredibly awesome! I'll be there at the auto-x,


what time does everyone wanna meet at mcdonalds?

Lee's HMS roll bar is very nice!!! :buttrock Just riding around with him I felt that the car was more stable. It was a pretty tough install, but it was definetely worth it. Now Lee needs that harness he ordered to come in today or tomorrow!

Lee, i may be driving up tomorrow with my dad...You can ride with us, but we wont be going FAST like last time. I dont really wanna risk getting another ticket so soon.

Cool beans. My g/f and I will be checking it out. She wants roll hoops but she may change her mind after seeing the HMS bars.

I thought about the roll hoops, but there was no perfomance difference with or without them. The roll bar was pretty costly ($895) and the gains were incredibly. What type of Z does ur g/f have?

99.403 or 99.430 or something like that.

I'm pissed that I could not beat your friend's best time in your Z3.

After it was all said and done, I realized that I forgot to take my spare tire out. D'oh! And I also got some bad tread separation on my left tires, which probably didn't help...

Edit: I got 99.403. 72/100ths of a second behind Zac. D'oh!

hahaha, everyone was angry about zac driving lee's car and getting the top time in that class. I talked to Mark Williams about it all and the lap zac did for lee doesnt count.

I cant believe i beat lee, it seemed like more of a power course!!!
my best time was 100.3...suprisingly only a second behind the beastly 328is. Oh well, im happy with my results :buttrock , but i wish i coulda broken the 100 second mark.

Well my roll bar was giving me way to much grip in the rear, felt like i was running a front wheel drive car, i ordered a front strut brace and a front sway bar so that should fix that problem. Couldnt get the dam rear end to kick out.

Yea zac was kicking everyones ass because hes a friggin professional driver, who will be driving for the formula 3 team for bmw in 2 years. That bitch can drive like no other, he said since that was his first time to ever drive my car aggresively that he couldve pulled it down another 2 seconds because he was just trying to figure the car out...

i need zac skills, hahaa

I would have liked to see what kind of times he would have gotten in my car. Then I can gauge my skills against a more experienced driver.

Maybe next time.
