Can't wait for NASA on 6/1-2 at the Ridge. We should both aim for sub 1:50.

Cheers!

You wouldn't happen to live, or at least frequent, the Cedar Hills/Mills area of Beaverton would you? I used to see a SG E92 with a cage in it in the area. Its the car that made me want a SG M3.

That'll be me then. Hope you like your M3? 'Used to see' is apt. Not really a daily any more for me unfortunately.

I have the perfect exhaust for you. Akra mid pipe going up for sale!

you guys are a serious inspiration... I need to keep working on seat time / driver skills until I can get to a 1:51!

PrimeBMW · 05-21-2013, 10:12 AM

1:49 is where I/the car needs to be in order to be competitive. Is that possible? Sure. I have an Epic tune coming this week good for 10-15hp. Now if we can get the car setup properly...........the driver set up properly we should be right there.

I love the M3. I had been looking for a while and was leaning towards white. But seeing your SG a few times really swayed me to that color.

I've started seeing another SG E92 around, though it doesn't have a cage in it.

Ok gang who is in for June 7 with Tom at the ridge? I am itching to get out there again!!

PrimeBMW · 05-27-2013, 11:40 AM

A few of us are going to the Ridge June 1-2 for the NASA HPDE/TT/Races. From the results of the last event it looks like there will be a lot of room on the track. Though we would try something new as in the TT.
The Turn 2 event a few weeks ago had open passing with point by. That arrangement worked quite well but still got held up practically every lap. I would go back and recommend to any more advanced driver.

nice! .. when I looked up their schedule it looked like only four 20 minute sessions so I was worried about traffic.. but it sounds like you had a good experience.. I'm tempted to sign up..

NASA does have four 20 minute sessions plus one 30 minute "open track" session at the end of the day. I believe it is only $350 - $375 for two days.

PrimeBMW · 06-06-2013, 12:15 PM

This past NASA weekend was a good time! I ran in the HPDE 4/Time Trial group with two other friends. This group is open passing everywhere no point needed. I wondered how this would work but it was actually more fluid than the typical HPDE. Let me explain: everyone is gridded by lap time. everyone rolls out of the pits in single file without a stagger. theoretically you don't need to pass someone till you catch/lap the back markers in 7 or so laps. It seemed as it was easier to understand/ predict what the other drivers were going to do. The only car that held me up was a GT3 RS that didn't move through the middle portion of the track. granted that was only the second session and people were just getting used to the new format. I know it was discussed that there are only 4 / 20 minute session s but I can tell you there is no time to rest behind slow car waiting for a point. I was spent even though I only got 3.5 sessions out of 8 (that's another story). Anyway, NASA HPDE 4/Time Trials is recommended!

Wow... interesting... did you get any video?

I'm heading out to Ridge tomorrow for the T2 Event!

PrimeBMW · 06-07-2013, 01:49 AM

sorry no video. I believe there are some pics at headonphotos.com. The car is down this week and next for fire suppression, kill switch, cool shirt system and diff cooler came in yesterday. Eddie is going to run the Rose Cup trophy race! June 15-16 at PIR......anyone is welcome to visit us in the pits.

w00tw00t · 06-08-2013, 04:55 PM

I had a blast yesterday at the Ridge with Turn 2. My previous best was a 2:00 flat. This time around I dipped to a high 1:58 and stayed there, as in without any traffic I was able to run this lap time consistently all day.

My current goal is to get a 1:55. Only 3 seconds to go!

Also my NT01s are working like champs now. I have 5 days on them and there's no splicing and they're super sticky!

I love this car!
