It's only the first event. He had a good win.

Plus side for me is I already surpassed my total point score all of last year in my first event.

And....you have two extra doors

But you're not mad,right Phil ? Lololol

No time to be mad when fuel trims look like shit and exhaust is falling apart!

Actually the 5 points earned made me smile and laugh about how it was more than my total last year haha.

I feel like Alonso at the beginning of the season: good standing in the points. WE CAN FIGHT ! !

Power unit is there with a couple tweaks, just need chassis engineers to make my shit turn. It's so frustrating how my car doesn't turn in. Rs2 and sway bar going in on Friday.

So does that mean your gonna retire at the end of the season and get beat by 250 points.. like Alonso did

[StripclubDJ]

Can't wait to see what your driving skills does on those

All time great huh? I see......

Well, now that you've used up those "all time great" excuses, I better help you out with a few more in case redpriest drops the hammer again.

Here's a few more:
-I think I was running some bad fuel.
-I think my spark plugs are going.
-Have you seen my air filter? Totally shot. Car can't breathe.
-I think an O2 sensor is going.
-Damn throttle actuators! Limp mode killed my fast lap.
-That damn dogbone blue sedan #881 is holding me up.
-I think I have pink eye. My eye was itching the whole lap. Couldn't concentrate.
-My alignment is shot after hitting the berms so hard.
-My tire pressure gauge is on its way out. When I borrowed Paick's gauge, I saw that my psi's were all over the place.
-People in the room next door were having sex all night long at Motel 6. Couldn't get any sleep.
-My transponder died. It didn't capture my fast lap and the organizers won't accept the AIM's recording.
-Some dude broke out some crazy weed last night and I'm still high. What day is today?
-Did anyone else get the trots from Willow Ranch BBQ? I feel weak.
-Did anyone else feel that dirt and oil on the track? Couldn’t grip.
-The damn ABS keeps screwing up my braking zones. Can't slow down.
-Speed Ventures is too crowded. No clean laps.
-They took the braking marker cones away. Couldn't find my zones.
-I think I got crabs from that nasty Buttonwillow toilet. Damn it itches.
-That pastrami sandwich from the cafe was suspect. I was burping the whole lap. Can't drive like that.
-The photographer was standing in dangerous places. Kept distracting me.
-Isn't there a production recall on these tires?
-There's a new rattling sound in my car. I can't concentrate. Worried I might not make it home.
-A bee came into my car on my fast lap. Was in my face. Had to abandon. Really bummed.
-I think my brake pads are glazed over. Could get any bite.
-I think I have a bent rim. Steering wheel was really shaking.
-I think I have a short in my wiring.
-I hate those Ariel Atoms! They're like mosquitos! Totally screwed my lap.
-Why does Speed Ventures allow open wheel crazy cars like LMP in my session? Ruined my fast lap when he buzzed me.
-Alex's active aero is so fascinating to watch that I was just staring at his car the whole session and not concentrating.
-Not fair. redpriest was on a cool down lap and screwed my fast lap. Totally was blocking the track.

If you need more, let me know!

[roastbeef]

That list should last the whole season.

If by personal log, you mean, what I've heard people say to me, then yes! hahahahahaha

[M3 Number 86]

What's funny is once I bled my tires to 24psi and they looked flat. Used someone else's and they were at 14psi. Lol

I have a new one now haha

[kyippee]

Man I really need to come by the Bimmer Challenge events to meet & shoot the shit with u guys. Seems like a great crowd full of excuses. My kinda crowd

Kimmer, what were the prior coilovers? I thought you already had something like MCS? Hope you like the JRZ RS Two - I love my RS One and just getting into the increased capabilities.

He's using KW coilovers. It's why every pic he has, all of his tires are in the air. Great shots but no grip lol

It's why I put thousands of miles from NorCal to come to these events, lol. The camaraderie is great plus you learn a lot driving around these insane guys.

You can tell he's mad because his video of the track day isn't cross-posted to 15 different facebook groups.

Either in the air, or sunk into the wheel wel indefinitely.

I think this qualifies as severe usage, so don't forget to increase the frequency of your maintenance on your excuse generator.

I have to ask, were you driving flat out or not? I always drive flat out.

Drive Flat Out

Sorry, couldn't resist as that video always makes me laugh.

Sometimes, it just isn't your day at the track and you have to just put it back on the trailer and hope the next event goes better. BTDT.
