We are leaving from Mason City on friday morning, but spending time in Racine and Milwaukee before getting to RA on Saturday evening. Race on Sunday, hang out on Monday and get ready for another O'fest.

It's been four years since I have been up that way and my wifes first visit to the place I used to disappear to each April for early track time. Did I really start going there in 1992?

You are old! See ya there!

Just followed a dozen BMWs for about 30 miles on IL96 on my way home from a friends house. A few e46 M3s, some e36s, and a e92 coupe. The M3 in back had Indiana plates. I was hoping they were going to my town to stop so I could talk to them, but they headed east towards Carthage/Macomb IL.

Just strange, not often you see a caravan of BMWs cruise through the middle of nowhere

Anyone have any idea where they were headed? I looked on Bimmerforums and M3Forums for Midwest threads, but didnt see anything relevant.

blacksheep · 08-23-2010, 12:20 PM

Was it the Susan Komen cars?

WERND · 08-24-2010, 07:11 PM

Probably on their way to oktoberfest at Road America

Yep they were, and still only out of the 12 could they put together 2 LSD's.

In all serious though there were a shit ton of cool BMW's Sunday night in Elkhart gearing up for OOOOOO Fest.

And I still had more LSD's in my car...... lol awwww never gets old.

Nice, just drove by there today. Wondered how the track looked (it is hard to see from the highway), looks like the got it groomed pretty well. It was pretty we out there, looked like there was still a few support vehicles cleaning up.

Drove the 335, man I love that car. There was little traffic on I80 in to Salt Lake. High down hill grade, 3 lanes and curves. I used all ze place, I am sure Brian would have out paced me by 20mph but it made the rest of the drive worth it. Hit Cali on the way to SanFran tomorrow so more curves to look forward too.
