Pretty well that was my 3rd track day on them. Starting to see wear on the shoulders.

 

I had 3 track weekends on mine also, but noticed some chunking in the corners of the tred, so now we are going with some R1 race tires to not worry about that anymore, and I have another set of KDW's for the street.

 

Tomorrow a track day at Talladega Grand Prix track with the BMWCCA should be fun.

 

Next track day is the end of this month at Barbers ordered some light 15" wheels and Avon RA's.

 

Got my studs installed today, got track day insurance wheels and tires are in now I have to figure out how to carry this ever expanding pile of stuff.

 

Can you share the details on the insurance?

wheels fit on the back seat, standing up straight - like a roll of quarters, with the back seat not folded down. After that, just start getting creative.
My packing is slightly different because of the roll bar - I need to take the rear seats out of the car completely to get the four wheels to stack across the car. But without the rollbar they fit on the back seat perfectly... smare orientation as the wheels in my picture.



My big box o' stuff is on the passenger's seat. I can even fit the tent and camping gear in there too for the events I use that.

 

Stuff is at the track, I've been moved up a group now in the C run group.

 

congrats on getting the promotion to Solo, I just got promoted to Solo at my last outing with PCA, and have already signed up for June 16/17 and that will be my first Solo run weekend. Tell us how it goes this weekend.


By the way, Beaner got signed off for Solo with PBOC and has a last check out run with PCA to get signed off Solo with PCA also, so he is signed up for the same June event in West Palm Beach.

 

Long story, but I made it...

See you there tomorrow!

 

Day one in the books lots of fun, but I'm hot tired and need a shower.

 

at least you didn't have Victor to scare the s#%t out of you this time! he had a similar experience to yours w/ another friend of mine at Sebring last weekend. he was also my instructor and signed me off for solo.

 

Victor's good great job getting signed off. There is somebody here in the A run group in a red cooper the 997's and M3's are having there way with him down the straights, he must be giving up 300 HP to some of them.

 

Done for the weekend great fun, if you haven't done this you have no idea what your Mini will do it's a great little car see you at the track.

 

 

This weekend it's back to Barbers for the PCA event going to be hot. Brakes are fixed and found a new shop to do my work in the future. Cars is the same as the last event a first. Going to learn how to drive well before I make any more changes.

 

mozzarella: have fun. i (and LgEnf) will be w/ PCA at Moroso this weekend. i've got the PSRS on the way, but probably won't have time to install it and get an alignment before the weekend. it will be on before Road Atlanta next month.

 

Barbers in the morning with PCA, then it's a road trip to RA for the next 2.

 

Day one in the books, I signed up for this in March when I only had one DE and I've been put in the baby group. Some of those damn 911's just have a hard time letting my silly little car by.

 

Glad to hear you had a fun day. As for 911's letting MINI's by well it does happen.

Yesterday at our Nelson Ledges fun day my wife kept catching a C6 Vette & could never get a point by. Sad to say some folks think they are racing at these events. If caught by a faster car I just point em by & keep on truckin.

Have a fun safe day tomorrow.

 

I feel much with the faster car ahead than all over my bumper.

 

I do too, but as you gain some more experience it won't bother you much.

I find it entertaining to see a faster car come up behind off the straight only to fall back in a series of corners where our cars shine. Next straight I'll point em by if they are close enough.

 

Home in one piece great weekend. I got to SOLO yeah.

 

 

Well done!!! You look very happy in there.

 

I like solo-ing, but I also like getting a new (to me) instructor in the car to see if they can show me something new.
