Anyone know of any track events that are taking place anytime soon?

I'm aching to let my M3 loose.

Looks like I missed the opportunity, since the registration closed on April 7th.

No worries, it's my fault for waiting last minute, and plus I probably wouldn't have been ready by tomorrow.

I'll look out for other events.

Thanks, Blake.

+1000

After I sold my E46 M3 I went and looked at Z06s and the E92 M3s. When you get IN a Z06 you will instantly realize why they suck. My grandparents suburban has a nicer interior. In fact, almost every car made has a nicer interior. Everything is cheap plastic. I dare you to find a corvette over 6 months old that the leather isnt completely ruined on. They don't hold up at all.

All that said... If I wanted purely a track car I would buy it. But no way I would DD one of those pieces of $hit.

And as mentioned before you would look like you were going thru a midlife crisis unless it was at the track...

just my .02

This was in a recent newsletter I received from Harris Hill Road. It is a fun, technical course in San Marcos. Not sure if you are willing to make the drive, but it's worth it.

Saturday, May 1st - Chrono-X Time Trials, Round 2
After a fantastic inaugural event on April 3rd, we're ready for Round 2 of the Chrono-X series here at H2R.
The Time Trial will be run counter clockwise this time.
Member rate is $90. Non-members pay $150 for early registration ($175 for later registrations).
See if you've got what it takes to come out and set the fastest lap time in one of dozens of categories. For more information please visit the Chrono-X Website at

^ Thanks for that info, and you're correct, that may be too far for me.

The furthest I can manage to go is Cresson, TX.

The BMWCCA Chapter forum has a "send email" feature. I just sent Bruce an email telling him you wanted in & had sent him a PM here. They had openings the last that I heard. Hopefully he'll see the email and get back to you.
Cal

I'll PM you Mark Williams phone number. If you can get a hold of him, he can get you in touch with whoever you need to.

I just drove the car. MY GOD was it fast. It had a corsa exhaust, pulley, long tube headers, and a tune. JESUS CHRIST is all I can say in terms of speed/acceleration.

BUT, Blake, you're right again Shittiest interior ever. It was my Dad's friend Z06 and he's an OBGYN, he's very gentle with the car but you could see the interior was already wearing. Only a year old! Beautiful car, but you guys are right. Chevy POS.

The raw power is fun, in a straight line, but I would be willing to bet you would seriously regret leaving an M3 to get into a Z06 in the long run. Plus, most girls think Corvette drivers are cheese dicks, unless of course you live in Oklahoma or the Texas sticks.
You are right also! Rattled a lot. Very annoying..it might have had something to do with the loud exhaust though (look at the post above mine)

I concur with your .02 cents Check the above posts..It was insane, but only if you wanted a car to beat the shit out of. I was going to trade my IS350 in if I were to get a z06, but decided against it..I love my Lexus

On a positive note, I ordered Active Autowerke's X-Pipe with HFCs about ten minutes ago. Very excited to get them on

and the mod bug goes on.

about the car situation, you should sell the lex and buy an SUV or something. it's good to have a hauler and a fast car. that's what i'll be doing once i move the m3.

I've driven my dads x5 4.8 for a few weeks, I love it but it hogs too
much gas plus he's trading it on (x5 M ) the only other SUVs I'd want are out of my price range lol. What suv are you getting?
