I will do this event in the street car barring a miracle. While the race car (S62 engine swap) might be close I don't think we can wire the back half of the car, run ABS and brake lines, finish the headers/exhaust and schedule a time on the dyno for tuning before Saturday. |

It was tons of fun as I'm not a normal track guy. It was fun to drive the 6 and 7 series cars sort of hard. The track laps are follow the leader, not open track driving. However, unless it's different than last year, they will not let you take any of the M cars on the track. They had a few M6s last year, but you could only drive them for the "autocross" event in the Parking Lot. When asked why, they said "They have too much power, so our insurance doesn't cover them on the track.". Not sure that's true or if they just don't want people beating on the M cars. Either way for the event last year is was "No M cars on the track". All in all, still a fun day and worth your time if you want to see/drive other cars. |

Haha that's the probably true...
My car lacks serious tires and probably a good aero setup to get sub 2min lap time; driver mod aside Do you have plans for the ridge (or pacific raceway) this year/season? last time I saw your car was at Griots garage a few years ago? |

Bump
I'm planning to start tracking this year. What do you track vets recommend for getting my feet wet? Proformance driving school or should I do CCC with BMWCCA? |

What about The Ridge? Is there any prerequisites that I need to do there in order to use that track? I know I can probably search for this, but I haven't been able to find anything specific to the PNW. |

You have a return day at pacific I believe with an instructor for part of the day then you get a sport license and can do any day they have. At ridge I already had prior experience so that is conveyed to them and are allowed into appropriate group.

I would say that Proformance would be one of the last i would run with. It has been awhile but they did not show the ability to keep me safe from others. BMW CCA CCC or novice HPDE could be good for anyone but their normal HPDE is not for me. I would suggest Hooked on Driving. They are the entire package for a wide spectrum of abilities.
