Let me know what group. I'll either go 2 or 3 depending on everyone else.

[Syndicategt]

I'm doing Hyperdrive again, don't want to make a full day of it.

[dbjb]

^^^ Why not a full day?

I'm trying to decide when to go. This might be the day but I would like to run with some other 335's if possible. Anyone else going Group 2 or 3? Twin?

[meepster]

Looks like we'll be near equals. Here's what I'm running:
AT, V5, ETS FMIC 5", DCI, Wavetrac, HR Sport/Koni Yellows, Cool Carbons

What are you running nowadays? Also, don't you have Dinan and PP?

Dinan Stage 3 suspension and M3 front parts/bushings. New besides the LSD+Cobb are the Volk RE30s with Michelin PSCs. Should be interesting...

It's so hard keeping up with the meepsters...

For those still on the fence, here's a quote from NASA regarding this event, "This should be a great event with plenty of track time and low car counts.* Tell your friends- if they want to run at Infineon with low car counts, this would be the event."

[Syndicategt]

I'm so excited, this was such a blast last year! See you all on Saturday!

Let's hope I don't blow a fuel pump again this year

[dbjb]

Bump for participants. Who else from e90post will be attending?

So far, I see

syndicategt - hyperdrive
meepster - hpde2
dbsj - hpde2
skow - hpde1

I was there but alas I wasn't driving my 335. First time at the track with the E36 M3.

Good to meet you guys.

I had never driven with NASA but I had a great time in 3. The no point by necessary and pass anywhere format was super fun. It was crazy learning how to drive a manual (previously only drove the AT at the track) manage tires that should have been replaced a year ago, learn the new car and try to pass as many people as I could. I was friggin' exhausted afterward.

[meepster]

Definitely good to see you. I posted my thoughts/videos on the 2 session here:

Enjoy!

Great times guys! Pictures can be found here:

Now that sounds like an excellent time at the track.

Here are some high res shots (of my car) from Infineon last weekend (for those who missed out on a great weekend):

Nice to meet you too. I now need to achieve your 1.55 time. That's damn quick. BTW, I saw you mention running stock. I'm not sure how much faster you'd be on a tune.

Very cool. We need to move up a class to get better times. I rarely have a clean run. Too much traffic.

You're going to love spending the whole day on the track. Thunderhill is a great place to learn. Great course.

dsbj, I only run 1:58 but if I were tuned I can see a 3 second drop.

I read your trackmeep blog. you mentioned trouble with the Cobb. I also use the cobb, have you tried the version with the reduced throttle response? I think it is the plain 2.02, not the V1 or V2, but I may remember wrong. I found it much better behaved.

That's still damn fast. Was that with all mods listed in your sig? What mod do you think made the biggest difference. I'm contemplating either m3 conversion or meth. So many options and so little money. Lol.
