Thunderhill

Anyone heading to Thunderhill on Friday for the HPDE? It'll be my first time bringing the M on track.

I won't be there but enjoy Thunderhill. It's a great track for your first time with the M. Are you doing 3mi or 5 mi?

I was just there for 5mi earlier this month and will be doing the 3 mi in April

5 mile is murder on the brakes, especially in my M3.

I'll be on the 3mi. Last time I was there I blew an engine in a Lemons car, spent all night swapping it out. Hopefully the M proves more reliable!

We're you out there with a bunch of other Apex M3s for a Saturday HOD event? I was in a 1M in the B group. Your cars looked great...

Yep I believe we were there on the same day. White 1M with 219M wheels? I remember seeing you in my group. I was the SG E90 M3 with hyper silver ARC-8.

I'm going with NCRC on Sunday the 26th of April

Yeah that was me. The wheels are 219M square on NT01s.

Would be curious to hear your thoughts about NCRC -- I haven't run with them yet.

I'll be at MRLS next week with HOD, first time there.
