You would have needed a roll bar... $160/180 depending if you are a AROO member...

Got to do 6 sessions. first 3 were 15 minutes, last 3 were 20-23 minutes!

My first event with R compounds and saner FSB. What can I say but F*CK YA!!!!! Also my first time running advanced group, and it was pretty sweet!!

was consistantly running around 1.30/lap with a 1.28 and a 1.29 in there on the last session when there were not as many cars. It was a full event but did not have too much traffic out there, besides a few mustangs that thought they were fast


Now I want a BBK as my stock brakes with Hawk Blues were barely cutting it with the new tires. Check out the for sale thread...

When does the BMW club start running up again next season? Unfortunately, I will run again with no roll bar but it seems like most clubs out there require you to have one.

Anthony has the silver s with the hardtop lol. Yeah it is a long ways away but my S sits all winter long for the most part. All good.

This was one of my faster sessions... The yellow subie was fast as shit!! He was running 295 square R-comps and had 390whp!!! Watch as dusts me in the back straight on the 2nd lap! But I think it was the 2nd or 3rd lap that I did a 1:28!

Nice videos Brandon. Where do you redline at after your tune? It seems like i just barely have enough 3rd gear to go into turn 4 but sometimes i go into 4th after banging off the rev limiter at that same spot but then immediately get back into 3rd. I think i have mine set between 8500 to 8700.

my redline is about the same as yours about 8500. I bounce off the rev limiter too and just coast for the last 75 feet or so instead of doing a quick shift to 4th.. I need some more seat time to get better, but I want to be able to carry 4th all the way to turn 6. I might do gears this off season or put the charger on.. Can't decide right now, thankfully I have a few months!
