You guys can come follow along and be the P-car Groupies.

Peter I hope you like Supersolo and come out with us. Fun driving, pretty safe, just sucks for your liver.
You can always talk to Mini Shuster; Erik. Or we can make them like you if all fails.

They didn't like me either, but I get that, but I won them over with my charm
Then again until about 1 year ago they did not like anyone, but they have become much more customer friendly lately ;-)

Seth, you know the mighty Toyota is no one's groupie

It would be great to get you back into it...lots of updates since you drove it, it is like a different car these days. Of course Leh drove it about a year ago and prompted a round of updates that has just been finished

Default One Lap 2012

Peter/Randy/Rad/Mike/Lewis/Eddie and all the other usual suspects. No drivining school necessary. You all have the necessary skills for 1lap and I can vouch for you with Brock. Peter car classing is very subjective. Your Merc has a usable back seat so it should fall under the Luxo Barge class.

Tentative 2012 route

Fri. May 4 Tech and welcome beer party @ Tire Rack
Sat. May 5 Wet skid pad @tire rack. Then Autobahn for 1st. Time trial
Sun. May 6 Mid America which may be questionable due to flooding still
Mon. May 7 Hallett a really fun little technical track
Tue. May 8 High Plains
Wed. May 9 Motorsports Park Hastings
Thu. May 10 Brainerd 2 TT + et and bracket drag
Fri. May 11 Road America.
Sat. May 12 Dry skid pad. Beer and awards ceremony South Bend

There is always the possibility that an AutoX or Oval could also be added
The competition is fierce but friendly and the most fun I have ever had with my pants on.

2007. 1st SSGT1SB. E46M3 with a few mods
2008. 4th overall 6GT3 with Motons otherwise stock
2009. 2nd overall (damn cones) Cheater 6GT2
2010/2011 Work and the economy called

Peter

That was tongue in cheek. Bob Varela has gotten a lot of my $$$$ over the years and Bob Turnage has worked with CFR SCCA on street survival schools.

I plan on running 6GT3 as the M3 while competitive in class is old and not sure it is reliable enough for 4000 miles.

I just talked to Brock and added the dates to the previous post. If you want to talk to Brock his # is 6109833379

No problem on 1 set of tires. The only person I know who came close to running out of tires was Leh Keen in 07 running a 750hp Supra and he loved doing burnouts

Yeah I probably need to come to Winterfest this year. A couple of the BMW boys paddocked next to us @ RA have a winter home in Fl and I sort of talked them into bringing the M3's down and running with PBOC.

I think PBOC winterfest will be a blast and I'm sure there will be some beer consumption
