Ring trip this weekend? Who is going.

[Swadeness]

It sounds like a few of us (Rick, Gabe, myself) are heading to the ring this weekend. Anybody else thinking of going? Do we want to do Saturday or Sunday?

I think Rudi is also wanting to go...I know a few of the M flight members are meeting at KMCC at 0700 to drive up on Sat...I'd also prefer to do Sat as Sat evening I have a commitment....

[Mr Kleen]

I prefer Sunday, tonight might be a late night for me... Post up when and I'll do my best to meet y'all out there.

[Grey Dove]

In case you guys decide to go on saterday you can count me in.
Altough I won't be staying later than 11 am at wich time i'll be driving to Lux.

By the time it opens I'm planning on being at the counter to buy me lapticket

[Rikx1M]

I'm leaving HD 0600, then rolling to be there by early am...tomorrow probably spending the night somewhere up there...bringing the dog

Gabe, want me to stop by W-baden and get you? Or meet you off the A61 near Wiesbaden at Waldlaubersheim which has an autobahn pulloff?

[JK135i]

Just a heads up from 10am on there's a 60% chance of rain that's gets higher as the day goes on.

Def. planning on doing my laps before 9am

[Swadeness]

So what time does that put you guys at the Ring? Where are we going to meet?

Yeah the rain today sucked, my car is filthy now. Hopefully it will stay clear long enough tomorrow to get some laps in.

I installed my down pipe today and it sounds sweet! I didn't expect that much difference with stock exhaust and a catted down pipe. I've done a bit of spirited driving and no cel light so far, tomorrow will be a good break in for it.

[Grey Dove]

I'd say somewhere between 8 & 8:30am @ the main entrance parking lot

Good on the dp

[Rikx1M]

JK is here...we're drinking some good Czech beer and am prepping cameras and getting gear packed. Great times in Europe!h And we get paid to suffer separation from family back in the US of A. Somebody has to do the job over here.

[Mr Kleen]

Wish I could have made it today but I had a previous commitment: last night a group of us went for a ride on the Bier Bike, then met up with more friends at a pub.

I'm thinking of heading up Sunday if anyone else is keen on going.

[135junky]

So jealous of you guys. I'm here at work dying of heat and you are tearing up the track or are finished now.

[smellthebeans]

I watered the flowers & now I am going to get a hair cut. Trying to stay cool!

Post pictures please.

Are we still on for the August Gerbertstag event?

Cheers

[Grey Dove]

So I met up around 8:15 am with Wade & Rick and Justin on the parking lot.

Due to a severe motorbike crash (chopper was called in ) the track closed

for one hour at 9 am untill 10. I'd just finished my laps when everybody had to clear off the track.

When the guys came back from their second lap the roundabout/square was totally jammed so it took a while to get in&out.... isn't that so Rick ?

I left them @ 10:30 am but it was fun and I didn't sc§£w up at Adenauer Frost
like a few times in the past

C U ALL next time!

First pics from the Ring

[Swadeness]

So I finally earned my Nubergring sticker! Driving that track was awesome but I'll admit that it can be scary as hell. There was a lot of traffic so being trapped in the middle of it while still trying concentrate on your line was intense. My 135 performed great without a bit of protest.

As an unexpected bonus the Renault world series race was going on at the GP track and it was free! So we got to catch a good portion of the race and check out the pits.

Special thanks to Justin for running a slow lap so I could follow and learn the course. And thanks to both Rick and Justin for helping with the intake install!

It was good to see everybody.....lets do it again!

Wade

[Dackelone]

Sounds like you all had a great time. Wish I could have made it. Next time! Also glad to see Rick did not have his arm up on the door!

Tomorrow, I'll be in Nurnberg for the DTM race! Justin are we still on? Anyone else wanna join us? Just hit me up on my handy. DTM...

[Rikx1M]

Back home...another great road trip with 1Addicts in Europe! Lots of beautiful cars running the ring, including about 6 other 1Ms...tons of Porsches, 2 BMW 3 GTSs, probably 4-5 Nissan GT-Rs, couple of Artegas and a couple of Ferrari plus a slew of other sweet rides. Even a frigging tour bus....

I'll post some photos tonight....

[Rikx1M]

enjoy...

And we were glad to help Wade lose his "ringinity".....

Ezeedee...I took the photo of the white M3 with blue rims just for you

The black M3 was amazingly fast and loud...definitely some secrets under the hood.

Last but not least is JK135...looking cool under pressure as always and sporting that "Cindy Crawford" beauty mark on his front bumper...styling!

[smellthebeans]

That's not an Expedition, it's an Excursion! The largest SUV Ford ever made. A rare sighting of a vehicle no longer made & highly sought after by Mormon & Traditional Catholic families, Texas ranchers, and Dallas soccer moms.

If it's the diesel with 1 tons front and rear it earns 100 bonus points!



I MUST GO TO THIS PLACE!

[Swadeness]

Yep, it was good times.
- I think I saw one of those M3 GTSs get passed by an Integra but still pretty crazy to see two of them in the same place.
- Skirt and boots...always worth a
- I wonder if they could get that bus to drift?
- my car did a better job than I of earning that sticker....EFF! When did I get that many gray hairs coming in?
- very cool shot at the test center
- and yes that M3 was a friggin beast. Super fast through pflanzgarten, lots of talent driving that thing.

That guy that had the severe crash was part of a group of 13 bikes that crashed also due to some guy spraying collant from his busted car for about 100m on the track. The report says the guy died later that day due to his injuries.
