Houston ///M Club Track Day: Saturday, June 18th

JC919 · 06-17-2011, 06:41 PM

I know, its been a while. I am in need of some track time, but whenever I have the chance something comes up.

Track Day > Weddings....

Is 32psi a good cold pressure for the track? I'm also going to bring a torque wrench and some other tools tomorrow if anyone needs to use it.

If I can shake the family, I'll get out there later in the afternoon. Getting the CEO to come will be a challenge with family here. I'll see what I can do.......Phil

Since they are running clockwise, last time i was out my driver side tires were 1 psi higher than the other side.

I normally like to start abit higher, then bleed the air down. maybe driver side 33 cold and passenger side 34 cold.

Richard. Thanks for coordinating this event. It was a blast and a bunch of great guys and gals. I'm in for next time!

Franklin Joseph · 06-18-2011, 09:18 PM

M3roar · 06-18-2011, 10:10 PM

Such a fun day. Thanks Jeremy for talking me into running! Learned so much!

Daniel, move out the way.... Haha jk.

sumbiz · 06-18-2011, 10:24 PM

It seems my camera was set for stills instead of filming on my last session.

We didn't make it as there was a bachelors party and they had the track rented out.

Catch up to me and I will

J/K - you have impressive driving skills but I didn't want to let you pass me on the final lap

Not sure how you managed it with a 6 speed, too, as there's a lot of coordination going on. Next time, be sure to bring both M's.

M3roar · 06-19-2011, 08:30 PM

no one got pictures?

disapr · 06-19-2011, 11:28 PM

I don't have anything. My GoPro was having some white balance issues so you can only see what's happening inside the car. I have some ideas for getting better video next time. Where are your iPhone pics of the black M3 squad?

Only real one I got!

jcreme · 06-20-2011, 10:19 AM

Wow, it seems like we were photographically cursed saturday. I have two hours of the back of my passenger sun visor.

I really had a great time! Thanks for organizing Richard.

Hey man, how did it go after I left? Did you improve on those corners?

rzm3 · 06-20-2011, 04:22 PM

Here's one I got. 15+ cars and 30+ people. Looking forward to next event.

Oh and I will have a sign up sheet for rides

disapr · 06-20-2011, 04:51 PM

Richard, thanks again for setting this up! This is the most fun that I've had in a while!

Yes! Especially your point about the rh sweeper going into the razor's edge was right on! I went through a LOT faster then hard onto the brakes for the hairpin. That was worth a lot of time! Too bad you weren't there for me to judge my improvement!

Good call.

Yeah man. Richard went through there real fast and I just listened to his advice.... "Make your own line, don't go wide and follow the others. " I would catch up to so many people in just that spot!

Richard, thanks for the event. I'm in next time too!

The photography curse continues... From a dozen pics that were taken, below is the best one we have from Sat. It looks like I'm out in front and Flav is someways behind me

Other shots include pictures of folks arms, legs, and the wood flooring in the stand.

M3roar · 06-20-2011, 09:56 PM
