I already miss the Cummings......BMW dealer did find why the POS throws a code when I tow over 90 mph. Someting was wrong with one of the wastegate lines.....they say its fixed.

If it isnt I'll trade it somewhere in route for a decent tow vehicle

ESPN2 did a good job with the ALMS race. Lots of GT action. More importantly, it's the first time I've really been able to appreciate the elevation changes at VIR. Must get to this track.....

I just got back from Watkins Glen and bring good news!!!

First and most importantly, I understand from David Murry (who was also up at the Glen yesterday) there will be some additions to the David Murry Track Days next year. David was telling me some really exciting stuff he was working on for 2013.

Secondly, I learned from Drew K that Rad is heading to the NNJR PCA VIR event in November with the Fiat! That'll be cool to see him there! BTW Rad, ask Drew who makes the best track breakfast!

Lastly, and most importantly to me is I took almost 3 seconds off my previous best Watkins Glen lap time from last year. I know this has nothing to do with this thread, but is was part of my news from Watkins Glen!

If interested here is the video. No doubt more time can be shaved off, but I'll take what I can get for now with a 2:06:8!

Thanks Guys! I am happy with the progress I have made in the past year. It has been a fun (and expensive) trip!
