Hi All -
I'm finally able to get some photos out of my camera and start documenting the 2.5 week fiasco that was 3 consecutive race weekends coast-to-coast-to-coast. (Infineon, Watkins Glen and PIR).
First part of the journey for the 135i was leaving Huntington Beach on Thursday night towards Morgan Hill, Ca. to visit the guys at Dinan Engineering. Dave Beekman drove the 135i, while Craig and I towed the M3. We got there a little after 9 AM on Friday and they were there waiting for us.

While there, we got a tour of the facility and look what we found: Steve Dinan's club race car. This is one of the fastest cars ever to race in BMW Club Racing. Amazing - the turbo is actually in the passenger compartment.

And we met long time Dinan Tech, Chayne
After the software load, Dave took it for a test drive - it was all good (lots of power, no errors), so then it was off to the track at Infineon before the Friday afternoon bay area traffic.
