When is the next so cal meet?

Jcrewsn · 02-11-2010, 10:14 AM

Supercar sunday looks cool, but its so damn early in the morning ... I'm more interested in actually uses our cars, that being said who here has tracked their cars and where/when (socal preferably), for how much, and how was the experience?

Buckachow · 02-11-2010, 01:06 PM

There is a 1/8 at qualcomm. Track prep sucks but it is a fun time to hang out and get some passes in. I personally havent taken the 1er yet, but want to. Who wants to go?

Feb 19th is the next event

Qualcomm is nice but damn that place is in poor condition. No wonder the Chargers are trying to move out of town...

There is a track day at fontana on the 28th iirc.

But I want to go down to the Q just to hang out. Maybe get a pass or 2. Anyone else done to go?

SiKh335i · 02-11-2010, 04:48 PM

Spotted on Barranca today, AW 135i Red interior sick rims and hella aftermarket parts, U were in the turning lane while i blew past on the other side. I was in the JB 335i aero coupe.

Jcrewsn · 02-12-2010, 01:39 PM

yea I have looked into the qualcomm strip and it seems like fun, but I'm gonna have to get new tires (currently on stock rft) bfore i try to do any racing. How many mile did you huys get out of your stock tires? I'm at 13000 and the back tires have little traction

1013mm · 02-13-2010, 02:31 AM

hey what happened to the socal spotted thread???

Mega Man · 02-13-2010, 02:25 PM

Isn't Qualcomm only 1/8 mile? That'd be like..."Hello 3rd gear...and apply the brakes..."

Buckachow · 02-14-2010, 01:16 PM

qualcomm track prep is crap so dont worry about tires. Actually old tires would be best so you can heat them up real nice and not have to worry about wasting tread. i just think it would be fun to meet and hang out, possibly get a few runs in. We will have to go up to fontana on the 28th to get some 1/4 mile runs in.

mattssi · 02-14-2010, 01:18 PM

I really want to go to Fontana on the 27/28th if I may invite myself... First time at a track...

mattssi · 02-14-2010, 01:20 PM

Actually, where do they have their schedule on their site?? I can't find it anywhere unlike Fomoso

Buckachow · 02-15-2010, 06:02 PM

so who is down for this friday?

theanhdy · 02-15-2010, 06:12 PM

So I took my car in for service today and pointed out the cracking roundel on the driver side airbag along with the passenger airbag indentation. The dealer changed the oil on my car but refused to fix the roundel and indentation issues because it's not severe enough to justify the cost.

Also March 21 is BMW CCA AutoX @ Auto Club Speedway. It's fun in that you get to go fast in a straight line AND turn.
