Great pics from everyone, you guys have come up with some quality shots. Very impressed

Craig, that video of me is embarrassing. Let me get some practice under my belt first lol. So much fun!

Ready for a sleep?

Going to guess that was Jess? If not... Craig, you need to take a page out of Vin's book and get sideways (backwards) !

That was me setting a good time. Sadly none of my "mental" laps were recorded for posterity (including my 90km/h broadside right at the end).

We'll just wait and see how the results come out. Dr M00VIT, any news?

That looks like a quality mix of cars - now i really wish i went.

BBK · 08-01-2010, 03:07 AM

Had an absolute ball today, thanks Roland! I think my HPFP needs replacing... Spent more time stop/starting than going sideways :-p

Now all I need to do is work out how to upload my videos...

BMWRX · 08-01-2010, 05:37 PM

Come on! Where are the photos?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

BBK · 08-01-2010, 10:24 PM

I didn't actually take any photos... Brought the camera but thought my lens would not be long enough :-p So I only took some video.

D'oh! I was going to bring my lens around to you but forgot.

Also, I was going to come out and take some shots, but when I remembered that I wouldn't have been able to leave until it all finished I took the soft option and slept on the couch.

BBK · 08-02-2010, 05:57 AM

That's ok Craig, I use a Pentax dSLR anyway so your lens wouldn't be much use to me :-p

Glad to hear you had fun mate. I had the same problem as you re hpfp. In my case the last hour or so of driving was really frustrating... car kept crapping out on every slide

Had an awesome time! Hopefully a different venue will be found to host these in the future

Also after a few laps, really want to try and fix the understeer in these cars!!

Hey Michael how did your KW's hold up? I probably should have stiffened mine up a bit more in the rear but I didn't have enough time. The car felt a lot flatter than stock I was pretty happy but I think the M3 front sway is next on the list

Yea they felt awesome, mine are fairly soft, but still stiffer than stock.

As Ive said, when your ready to do the sway bar, let me know and we can buy them together to reduce shipping

Give me a yell too. I'm a bit over the understeer too.

Ditto. I'm keen on an E92 M3 bar and links.
