Groovy. See you there! I'll be instructing Friday but not sure about running HPDE as well. I'm giving charity rides on Saturday/Sunday already, so four straight days of driving with a day of instructing in the middle may be a bit much....

Honestly that sounds like too much. I start getting exhausted around 3pm and for all intensive purposes I should stop driving then (and usually do). At two day events I always peel off early the second day. Fortunately these two days have an abbreviated second day.

I've done 3 full days in a row once. It is exhausting at the end, and I did back off the third day and just enjoyed myself and skipped the last session.

You definitely need the mental endurance as well, even more-so than the physical endurance.

We'll see. When I told my wife I was thinking of doing the Skip Day on the 16th, HPDE on the 17th, HPDE on the 18th with instructing and charity rides mixed in, she gave me that "you're fucking stupid" side-eye.

The Holinger seq gear box just arrived. The car will be down and hopefully back up for the scca regional in August and dash for kids the weekend after.

Nice! Are you racing at Dash for Kids? They are looking for drivers for noon-time charity rides if you will have your passenger seat in.

That is the plan.

Do any of you need 2x 275/35/18 Hankook RS4's with a couple autoX runs on them?

I'm running 265 squared.

Friday and Saturday CSCC at PIR!

I've got the new AIM Solo 2 DL, so I'm hoping for very few others

Looks like 25 cars Friday for HPDE solo, and 24 for Saturday. That'll be the biggest group on Saturday by far. Been averaging only 8 - 13 on the weekend sessions all year.

I'm instructing Friday and driving Saturday. Assuming the car isn't broken.

Hey there, PNW Track Junkies.

Cascade Sports Car Club, BMW ACA and Pro Drive have their schedules for PIR up on the PIR calendar. HOD is not on the PIR calendar yet, but they have tentative dates on their website.

Get to planning!

Working on trying to have a low financial commitment to specific dates as my father-in-law's health deteriorates. It looks like I'll be signing up late when I can (or not being able to go to filled-up events).

Life has its ups and downs... at least I did pick up a set of coilovers to improve the lean angle, to be installed in the next couple of weeks.

Anyone interested in fully prepped and ready to go e46 m3 let me know. Thinking about selling. 2925 lbs, halo seat, front and rear apr aero, 4 corner bbk, cage, mcs, euro headers, bimmerworld race exhaust and diffuser, and on and on.

Sorry to hear that V. Hope to see you at there at least a few days this year.

Has anyone run the new surface at PR yet? I'm thinking of taking my new (to me) 2011 M3 out for lunchtime lapping (assuming they still do that)

Is this ray York, ray York? Got a new m3 nice! Sorry blocked friend if it's you.

Only 57 entries for the first Portland BMW Club track day at PIR this coming Thursday! Plenty of room left. Come get your speed on.

At least I won't have to keep my eyes on my mirrors for you since we'll be in different groups LOL.

I'm instructing Thursday so am running in the instructor group.

Unless you steal an instructor dot for Thursday for that sweet, sweet, open passing zones.
