OK thanks. How about your BMW CCA chapter? How many groups do they run?
Here, they run 1,2,3,4. One is Advanced, and I have no idea what the others are officially called, but 4 is novice. I got bumped to 2 recently. 3&4 have some really slow drivers (I'm not talking about car/hp related issues, just slow driving). That is naturally supposed to happen in 4, but when that happens in 3, it can be problematic. Just curious about what people's experiences are elsewhere.

RE: Intermediate Group with TMR would actually be equal to, if not a bit faster, than Group B with BMW CCA.

Follow up. This was the most fun I've had at a TMR event. sfbimmer13, I think we were parked next to each other? Or is this Rup... with the R Compounds?
Ran Mixed for the first time. It was a sweet spot for me; passed and got passed. It kind of turned into a point by group. I think I only made 1 pass w/o a point by. That's OK with me. Was on street treads and working on my new suspension that I never quite got right. Couple of more days and then maybe I can keep up with the M3s. @#$% they're so fast out of the box. I have video but haven't uploaded it yet. Haven't really reviewed it for lap time but I did see a 2:02 with a little wait for a pass after 9. I'll let you know when it's up. You might be in it. I don't think we had any big crashes but that was the most crash-ridden event I've been part of. Hope everyone is OK. I'd think we would all remember we're there to work on a skill that's a hobby. Oh well. Dave, Good seeing you again. I think your GF is gem. Your car OK? |

Hey guys-
My car's in with the service department as we speak....the ABS/DSC/BRAKE lights came on all weekend. That was a great event regardless of my "brake malfunction." I was happy enough to get at least 3.5 out of the 5 sessions completed; not to mention my girlfriend being completely calm for her first day at the track, was a huge plus. I stil can't believe the wrecks that happend that day. I've only ever seen one crash at Infineon and that was back in 2005 with BMW CCA. I'll let you know how the car turns out; I'm betting pads, rotors, or some sort DSC glitch. We'll have to all do that again! Quote:

Emailed TMR and the guy in the S2000 is OK. He only bruised his sternum. It was the airbag that did it.
Boy Rupert. You have me thinking about R-compounds after watching how fast you went. I don't think I can match your speed even if I had them but it's got me thinking. Do you have any lap times from that day? Dave, We ended up only getting 4 sessions because of the accident. It was the last 2 run groups that were affected. That was a blast and I will be at Infineon with TMR again next year. A few laps from the second session Last edited by jbass524; 11-10-2008 at 11:47 PM.. |

Thanks guys.
Wasn't Rupert. I couldn't catch him much less stay with him. It was the guy parked next to me. I am so impressed with the M3. BMW is the best engineering company in the auto industry. I'm learning how difficult it is to make your car better than what BMW does. My new suspension was good at turn in but it really pushed mid corner. I only could hit 110 before 11 and before 1. Got a little above 100 before 7. This was mainly due to late braking (like in the video where I should have passed the M3 in 7). I used to hit 115 into 1 with my stock suspension and 110 into 11 with a really bad line in 10. Also, this was when I was not as good a driver. I'll keep working on it. |

Update on my ABS/DSC/DBS Malfunction:
As we thought guys. Debris on the sensor, metal shard of some sort, which caused ABS and DSC to shut off. Basically, for the remaining laps I was out there, I was indeed driving a pre-ABS and Traction control equipped vehicle....not the end of the world. I should have practiced my Tokyo Drift skills. Solution: They replaced my front sensor and threw some new brake pads on. Until next year!

I'm guessing I've developed the same problem - this morning, for no apparent reason, my DSC / ABS and Brake lights were illuminated on the dash with a message on my navi screen suggesting I drive with extra care. My hill assist (on the 6mt) also disengaged.
Dave, did your dealer have the sensor's in stock or were you on a parts order for a few days? |
