So in search of bigger fields and closer racing i rented my buddies gts3/IP bmw m3. We took it out to mid ohio to play with the BMWCCA at a "premier" event. The IP field was HUGE.

qual'd 3rd, finished 2nd. Not bad for my 2nd time at that track and first time in a BMW right? I got right up on the 1st place guys bumper, but the car slowly started to let go, then I had to literally fight off the guy behind me. Crapload of fun....

makes me want to build one...... :o

Great Stuff Wally. Must be nice to arrive and drive. And there are alot of cars in that field.

I think you owe the guy at 20:30 a beer, the poor sod.

So what'd you turn in the M3 versus your C5? :-)

wallyman424

he had plenty of room. we just touched mirrors.

wallyman424

well i've never run club course before, and i havent run mid-o in a couple years, so I can't really say. The vette and the m3 arent comparable power/weight wise.

I ran a 1:39.2 in the m3 on club course, eric was able to bust out a 1:38.4

The Wonger? Or a different Eric that runs an M3?

The one and only wonger.

I actually busted out a 138.2 sucka!

Wally was actually just being nice. He didnt want to embarrass the car's owner.

Here is my enduro stint. I was in 2nd and close to the leader when I spun on some fluid in lap 2 Drove the crap out of the car to get positions back. Handed the car off to Wally about halfway through the 60 min "enduro". He was making ground on 2nd place, but then the race ended on a full course caution I only edited video of my portion since Wally's was kinda boring, then had a long FCY.

I thought WE were the dark side!

In a PTB car

magnetic1

Well, not exactly. When I run PTB, I need to remove the front splitter and the X-brace under the car. Granted it probably wouldnt change the time much, but not sure what my "PTB time" would be

wallyman424

sorry david. germans are way more dark side than we are.

And don't you forget it!
