Thunder grey, ebony Recaro package (Alcantera wheel, shifter, metal pedals, blah,blah) (seriously considering NO SUNROOF)
Mods will be cam/(springs&rockers)/torque converter/headers&exhaust/tune and M&H drag radials (18")

Be careful remember Jerry built the most modded C32 to date that I am aware of so keep in mind his new toy will be a new project

He did state it was a business choice so an LET car...

That car is going to be an animal, George.

I'm very happy you will be able to make it.

As long as he pays to play I don't see anyone having an issue with it...maybe we can run him and Jerrys' 135i and see how they fair

Now don't expect the 135i to be stock...

All are welcome, and we would love to see you again, Joon.

We are working on our tune for the E92 M3....perhaps your buddy needs a secret mod?

Well, I decided I wanted to attend this event early then leave by noon to get home and get ready for the wedding, however I still have not recieved my new seats and to the best of my knowledge they have not shipped from Italy yet. Unless by some miricle I get the seats by mid next week I will not be attending this event. My old seats are out of the car and I don't feel like reinstalling them again only to have to remove them again once the new seats arrive. Removing the factory seats was more work than I expected, very tight quarters with the roll cage and due to the fact the seats don't have much adjustability.

Besides, you guys are assured of good weather if I don't show up, if I showed up it would definetly rain LOL! 75% of the track days I planned this year got rained out.

Have fun!

It won't suprise anyone, it's a 12.00 car, I have never run it on slicks or drag radials, it has some serious traction issues. On slicks and lots of playing with suspension settings it's probably a 11.5 car all day but it really is the definition of useless horsepower. Tons of power and torque + terrible chasis = slow race car

Jim,

I was thinking about your traction issues in the CLK. Have you looked at your rear camber settings? I've seen lowered cars with excessive camber have similar results as yours.

Definitely going and the weather they say looks perfect with 60* being highest - http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USIN0444

Will paypal Wednesday night, ChicagoX.

I need to learn the launching techniques and burnouts with my DR. Hope you guys share but will observe first. Can I show up by 10:30-11.00am or is it mandatory to be there at only specific time?

Please try make sure the track prep is somewhat decent. I'd hate to drive all the way there and leave without breaking my own record...again
