Thanks Ralph - great description of the action from the driver's seat.
Here's a shot from Craig's camera of Ralph ready to do battle (as usual, higher res in photo gallery)

Well, in between races, we prepare for upcoming events (including shows) and work on our livery.
Scott Kim of AAE came over to our humble garage in HB and installed clear bra on the hood - Hi res pics in my photo gallery: http://www.bimmerfest.com/photos/sho...y.php/cat/3257 And installed yellow headlight covers Looks great and the convenience of coming to me (with my hectic race team managing schedule) helps me a lot

Looking really good, Scott and Ralph! I assume you're going to try to work on the limp mode issues? I see the Dinan decals. In stock class, can you do anything like the Dinan larger oil cooler, or a larger intercooler? How about some fancy ducting to get more air in the engine bay or a larger auxillary fan?

We also have some Total oil/ elf racing grade products on the way that may also reduce engine temperatures, so we'll be keeping everyone posted on how that works out. We are going to try the Total Quartz 10W-50 racing motor oil. A shop that we trust and have been working with since 2004 is starting to use it in all the race and M cars they service saying they have experience lower engine oil temps.

So I take it the car is alot heavier now due to the roll cage, but I was just wondering if carbon fiber products such trunk lid and hood are allowed in your racing class? Good luck with everything!

With the cage, we're right at about the class weight for our car.

That's the plan at this point in time - so unless something happens to derail me, I'll be driving the 135i cross-country to WG

The black looks good, Scott! Are you still planning on having that Sedona-like section in back, a la your signature? |
