This looks awesome! I just finished reading a couple of books about Centralia. Seems like an interesting place. Do we have to track? I may watch the races, but I'm not putting mine on the track until my warranty is out. Is 4/27 still the day you guys are aiming for?

Do you need 2-way radios are or you just swapping cell #'s before the drive? Can also use HeyTell (app) as a poor man's 2-way radio for the drive.

Yes the 27th is the day that is set right now. I will update original post if that changes. I dont think it will.

I dont think it costs anything to spectate at the track. I could be 100% wrong on that though. Check the website www.beaversprings.com to see if there is spectator prices.

I have a pair of 2-way radios. Me and Loesch used them to go down to Bimmerfest last year. We could also swap cell #'s. The 2-ways seem to work the best though. So if you have them that would be best. I think I got mine at walmart for $20-$30. The meet up is going to be Beaver Stadium in State College. Comment on the original post and I'll throw your name on the list.

Changed the date to the 4th of May. The 27th wasn't actually a test a tune day. Has some ford show that day. May 4th. Be there. Stop making excuses. Be a nice chance for everyone to hang out before Bimmerfest in July. Not just Bimmers and coffee. This is Bimmers and drag races. How do you pass that up?

We went to the strip today, it was alot of fun. the roads aren't looking to bad.
We talked to the owner of the drag strip and explained what we are planning on here and he said if we bring a group of people he'll let us all go at $20 per car. anything running under 13.99 has to wear a helmet. I got to 13.3 and Loesch hit 13.1 before we got told we have to have a helmet. it doesn't have to be anything special, a motorcycle helmet will work. Here is a couple pictures of the track. One guy even ran a snowmobile, that thing was wicked fast.









This going to be a great time and i hope some more BMW's can show up. there was maybe 2 foreign cars there besides mine and Loesch's and they were subaru's. a whole bunch of domestic cars though. Hope more people will sign up for this.
