The grip is at least consistant. Unlike some other surfaces we know and love.

Nice. Is that the guy that came out there for a bit last time we were there? I hear those dct transmissions are actually pretty nice. Leaps and bounds over the old smg transmissions they used to have.

Damon there is no E99 for the 3 series lol. They are doing E90, E91, and E92 right now I believe. Depends on whether it is coupe, convertable or sedan. E92 is the coupe. Not sure which is which on the sedan and convertable.

Very true. Other than one spot on the southeast corner I think is where it is. That spot is really slick. You get nice even tire wear all day long at TMS. I just need different front tires for that place but I will make due for now. Maybe next year I can get a set of track wheels and tires.

I'll be out there. Found out I don't have to work. Can't afford to race but I'll still bring the hot dogs lol so don't worry about getting those. Unless you've already bought them, then I'll just give you cash for them.

It was a great turnout. Lots of z/g peeps and canopies and hotdogs. Worth the 100+ weather. Good to meet all the new faces too.

I sleep now.

Hey Chris, I bet LA isn't 103. You missed a hot one but a good turn out no less. I had the best time at a 58.33 just ahead of gavin at 58.43. He was ahead of me after the morning session by couple 100ths so it was close all day long. Missed you out there, hope your enjoying the family time.

Shawn took the grill and sandbags home with him so he'll get them to you.

Didnt have my camera setup today so no pics sorry!

See ya Scott

I took two videos that I will upload soon. But then when my GoPro turned off to save battery while I was waiting to run, I had to get out and set it back up and the guy running the start line was like hurry we have a deadline here. Apparently those 30 seconds were pretty damn important to him. Those people seemed kinda uptight and snobby. Oh wait, it was the BMW group.

Beat a MX-5 and a M coupe, I'll take it. I did terrible though. My last run was almost my best and there were times where I know I could have gone quicker. I just hated the surface though and wasn't really trying in the afternoon. I wanted to see what would happen if I tried to not squeal everywhere, but it wasn't quicker haha.

It was a great time guys. Nice times everyone... congrats Scott on the best of our bunch for the day! I'm happy with my times... but I'm pretty sure that 2nd to last run would have been under 60 had I not lost it right right at the very end. My best time was with Rob riding along. Maybe there is something to that weight distribution, hehe.

Chris... just let me know when you are ready for your stuff. Whenever it's convenient for you.

Cheers guys!
