That's why I'm still driving my M3. I was in the red one, turning about 1:40 this weekend (1:39 in cooler weather) chasing a certain white RS.....

m3bs, you are one hell of a driver and you know your way around Road ATL. I have some catching up to do.

That M3 flies :-) it looks like new and (deceivingly?) stock.

Thanks for pointing me by early, even when we were coming up on the parts where you knew I was going to hold you up earlier in the day.
I must say that Advanced solo was an awesome group to run in, sometimes door to door, sometimes you guys were way generous!

I hope I gave all the point by's immediately, but I can't see anything behind me with that wing :-)

Thanks. I've been flogging the old M3 around RA so long it really doesn't need me any more. (but I still want a GT3....)

Did you by any chance have your video on when you came up behind me at T7?

I'm trying to diagonse an issue with my rear suspension.

Hey Jenk, you were not holding up anyone. You got passed once in a while, your point by's were so early and you went so out of your way, I wondered if you were going to drive off the track ;-).

Haha I like to give plenty of room and the early point by's keep the traffic down. I also like when I get early point by's and I'm not having to fill up peoples mirrors.

Yes, it is awesome to get and give early point by's.
Looking at my video's, some of my faster laps included passing cars! My best lap so far at Sebring also included an early point by also..

Jenk, are you coming down to Sebring in September? There is a 3 day PBOC even 9-12 Sept.
It is only 4/5 hours driving in the vening and 4/5 hours in the morning ;-)

Too bad, but work comes first. Let us know if you need something when you want to head this way!

Thanks for sharing all these videos. It's great to see all the footage. RA is such a blast. I've only been twice to DE's, both times at RA. I have trouble with turn 2 to 3 (car placement on a big blind uphill), turn 5 (downshift or not because of lack of torque for the uphill), turn 7 (just so much going on), and finally I have trouble keeping it all the way buried down the back stretch and flying through turn 12. My ***** have a little growing to do. Unlike all of you I'm still out there on street tires and the g forces with that dip in 12 are pretty scary, especially when all you can see is a big concrete wall in front of you.

Any of you guys out there in Sept for the BMW event?
