SC/NC Meet Planning

AMPowerJ · 07-25-2010, 07:48 PM

Well you are certainly welcome but yeah it would be a pretty decent trip. But if you have never been up there it might be worth it to come up the day before and get a room.

robotrenegade · 07-25-2010, 11:29 PM

I pick up my M3 in 24hours

I can't wait for our drive.

Good luck with the meet.

A few of the Raleigh guys are going to be staying the night. Plenty of nice hotels in the area!

Come out!

Poofyo101 · 07-26-2010, 12:54 PM

move it back a week and one more will be staying up there with you guys!

AMPowerJ · 07-27-2010, 09:54 PM

So I think the following are confirmed for 9/18:

Martin
mtechnik3
slimflem
robotrenegade
jakeburton
Barry?

Who am I missing?

Poofyo101 - Is there anyway you can work your schedule to make it on 9/18?

Poofyo101 · 07-27-2010, 10:38 PM

depending on what time the run will be over and what time I can make it back to Columbia. I need to be back into Columbia that day before 8pm ish. Were you planning on staying up there?

AMPowerJ · 07-27-2010, 10:41 PM

No I am just going to make it a long day. I would like for everyone to be up there by say 10AM. Drive the route and hang out to maybe 3 or 4PM and then head back. So you would be back before 8PM.

People may want to drive longer and spend the night, etc. but I am planning on leaving Columbia around 6:30 or 7AM and then being back before too late that evening.

Poofyo101 · 07-28-2010, 10:04 AM

ashley then i may be able to make it up there with you. is there a shop that you prefer to use in columbia? may need to swap wheels back to oem before we go up there.

AMPowerJ · 07-28-2010, 11:23 AM

If you just need your wheels swapped you can come over to my place and I can do that for you.

Poofyo101 · 07-28-2010, 10:03 PM

ok sounds good. might need them swapped over just because dont really wanna run 20s all over the mountains..maybe ill just keep them on though

btw nice wheels! you and martin should do a shoot before he sells his!

Martin_D · 07-29-2010, 08:40 AM

Hey Ashley-

You can add "bame_E92" to the list, local guy that I know will come with us. Also trying to get a few more people confirmed from Raleigh.

Poofyo101 · 07-29-2010, 08:05 PM

anyone been to the m one day school?
any benefits to going in the fall then in the winter?

Martin_D · 07-29-2010, 08:11 PM

Yes you will learn a tremendous amount if you have never done any "High Performance Drivers Education" events.

If it were me - I would complete the one day M school and do the Advanced M school at VIR. This way you can incorporate what you learned on the track, come back with your car and really improve your skills.

The one day M school is a blast. When you leave you will:

1.) Turn DSC off and "try" to hold the drift

2.) Wish you had bought a DCT e90
3.) Know what the M3 can really do
4.) Start signing up for track days!

Ask anyone that has been - it is a great experience!

I'm moving down to Charleston and would loveto do a meet up! I need to check my schedule, but I may be able to make this. Even though it's no M3, I still love the twisties on the KW's.

slimflem · 07-30-2010, 02:24 PM

slimflem confirming. I'm from Raleigh. Anyone bringing their girl/wife/man/whatever with them or is this strictly a driver's meet?
