Great time! My new goal is 2:01.8

Just ordered a set of Pagid race pads for my stock brakes, let's see if that will do it.

I see you did pull the rear seat, how did you like it?

[Longboarder]

Car: 2013 E92 M3 DCT ZCP

Track: Willow Springs/Big Willow
Best Lap Time: 1:38.2 (VBox)
Brakes: stock
Suspension: stock
Tires (Size & Model) Michelin Pilot Super Sports 255F 275R
Other Mods: Car is 100% stock except for tires, ESS VT2 S/C + Exhaust
Condition: Freezing rain/snow (no joke 12-29-12); MDM on.

I was very happy as this is only my third time at a track and a first with my M3. Fastest time lap time was achieved was with an Instructor (Malek) on board. Fasted time with no passenger was 1:39.0. Shaved about 10 seconds off my initial lap Obviously a huge difference in knowing the lines and the entry/exit speeds!

Can't wait to go back when the conditions are better.

Good seeing you too! I loved how you came out to the big track after Streets using the 245 rear spares with the 285 fronts! lol

We need to roll-on again with your good tires and without all the weight in your car....starting in 3rd for sure next time to remove the wheel-spin variable. I think it will be very close!

Was at the Star Car Sports Chuckwalla event this weekend. First time out there. Nice smooth track. And 40 feet wide!

E90 M3
Track/course: Chuckwalla CCW
Best Lap Time: 2:02.76 (Harry's Lap Timer with external GPS confirmed by GoPro)
Brakes: AP Racing - Mintex F3R front, Ferodo DS2500 rear
Tires: Hankook R-S3 - 18" - 265/285
Suspension: JRZ RS Pro in rear. Front JRZ is still off the car. This week Danny setup the front suspension with stock damper, H&R lowering springs and my old GC street plates. I was happy to have some camber again, and the H&R springs kept the front end low. Took a little while to get used to this new setup, but I got the hang of it after a couple sessions. I think I'll keep the car like this until the JRZ fronts return.
Other mods: VF620, MS Test Pipes

You were doing great out there Adam and seriously started picking up some speed!

I really look forward to the next time out there, hopefully in more favorable conditions this time.

Lol!! Didnt want to waste track time. Might as well have some fun lol.

For sure. I have all my tools, two wheels, and my jack in the car. Next time we'll do it right. Itll be very close

ahah!

rear seats: I couldn't tell the difference to be honest. I really only pulled them off so that I could comfortably fit all my stuff without damaging them (couple of us did a little buttonwillow/laguna seca weekend and I like to bring spares, especially when going far!)

If anything right now I'm still getting used to running a square setup vs previous staggered setup. All things equal the rear is definitely more ready to step out and I have to use a little more care in high speed turns/sweepers. IDK if removing weight from the rear axle is helping at all ahah

hahaha man, c'mon Ryan, where's the love?!! Wait a minute......is this really Ryan? Or did OC3 or minicorsa highjack your account??!!

You'll be proud of me Ryan. I ran some DSC off laps yesterday too, just to start getting a feel for it-----backed off of course. Felt good. No drama--2:09.

Have fun at Chuckwalla! Tell OC3 to put MDM back on so he can go faster!

I am proud! Now keep it off! Until then, we are assigning an 8 second handicap to all your posted times.

MDM on = cheating

Lol I kid I kid. But tracking with electronics correcting for you, applying brakes for you etc hinders your learning curve. You need to learn to do that yourself (Nissan GTR guys are you reading? )

With that said, Gabe, congratulations! I remember riding with you a little while back when you first started tracking. You have made TREMENDOUS progress! Hats of to you my friend!
