Round 3....another M3 build

[DawsonLiri]

After getting more one more semi wet run, then a 2 more dryer runs I went for my last run of the weekend. Car has a shimmy but I will be getting the ties balance this week sometime which made it feel a little scary at the end. Was clocked into turn 6 at 87 mph which was fast for me and I was happy with my improvement there. We didn't have anyone working the finish line for speeds but I know I finally broke 100mph. Here is a video of my last run of the day ending with a 136.800

Nice, really nice

Now more photos of that Camino

Got a box

Took about 5 minutes to install. Spent a little more on an X-Brace that was powdercoated...kinda pointless since it had minor rust and wasnt properly cleaned out and rust/dirt came out of the one part. Oh well at least it looks fancy.

Those skidmarks weren't there, were they?
I'm also in for more truck stuff
Happy to see you enjoy the e36 more often.

My mind was tricked into reading that plate as "YEE - HAW"

Nice variety in your garage right now

Okay..I'm in for truck stuff .

BMW is still rad

Waiting on an x-brace for the car....then a tire balance and it'll be ready for the last race of the season. I will show some pics once I get that all done.

But.....we finally went and picked up the fiances car at her parents house. Planning on a mild build to autocross and hill climb depending on costs. I have a ton of research to do thats for sure. She has owned it 10 years now and her uncle and her did the resto on it. Originally paid $400 for it and it took a lot of work. 1986 or close to that El Camino....v6 (its getting a ls eventually)

So Sunday morning while sitting in the pits after the drivers meeting enjoying a bacon and egg sandwich, it rained. The road was wet and I was in group 2 so I had some time to think about how to drive the car on slicks, when the road is wet and they get no heat into them. I went out and decided to just take it easy, and work on running good lines. Here is my slowest run of the whole race at 170+. My first run of the weekend was a 147...

Video of my fastest run on day one. Started off with a 146.839 and ended with a 138.478

We had a rain storm hit in the morning on sunday which made everything slow till it dried. I ended up with a 136.800 for my fastest run overall. Cant wait to see the speeds across the finish line.
