Registered!
Where are the other S2000's?!?!?
I just noticed that there is an SCCA event the day after this one, so I guess that might have caused an outbreak of vaginitis that will reduce participation at this event. That would normally be good news, since it would be a short day (and possibly extra runs). However, I just installed some new coilovers (Ohlins DFV's), and am working on a detailed review of them on S2KI.com. I wanted to have a couple experienced S2000 owners that have other "good" coilovers do a couple runs in my car to provide feedback...
Didn't Ken O have an S2000 at some point? I see he's registered ...
I ran an S2000 in BS/AS for 4 years on Moton Club Sports. I am happy to help. But sorry, I will miss the BMW event. Flying back Saturday morning.
M3 is always the answer.
I'll be in the office Saturday. Feel free to come out to TMS Sunday and I'll be there.

Um, didn't you just post this in April?Originally Posted by Gernby
Im glad things appear to be looking up for you. Still, not sure vaginitis has anything to do with choosing SCCA @ TMS over BMW @ MW. More likely, it's the higher level of competition. Come out and play with the big boys.That said, I think I'm done with autocrossing for a while. As I've done 2 times before (1995 and 2004), my enjoyment / cost ratio from autocrossing has dropped below the point where I can justify the cost of new tires. When I combine that with my likely homelessness from medically induced poverty, it's a lock. In our country, when someone in a middle class family gets sick, that family isn't going to be middle class any more.

Ken, I would appreciate your feedback.
I was kidding about the vaginitis. I don't have any interest in SCCA events. I did my last SCCA event in '95, and doubt I'll ever do another. The higher level of competition doesn't make up for the lack of seat time IMHO. I also don't like the choices I would have to make with my car to make it competitive. My intake and exhaust would probably bump my car up to one of the Modified classes.
I did "quit" autocrossing due to financial issues, but I think those issues are resolved now.
In America, you quit Autocross. In Soviet Union, Autocross quits you.I did "quit" autocrossing due to financial issues, but I think those issues are resolved now.

LOL ... Be careful what you wish for! The last 3 years have totally sucked, but a few unexpected circumstances enabled us to keep the home we've live in for 9 years AND buy some new shocks and tires.
Wow, I'm now a BMW CCA member. I feel so smarmy.
Becareful, I did that and ended up buying one. It significantly reduced my time and money available to work on my Miata and wasn't nearly as fun.

Did anyone let the porta-potty company know that they had some recovery work to do before this weekend?

Don't forget to declare which generation of M3 you are most loyal to. I think that's a requirement since it will come up at any BMW gathering.
An example to help newbies blend:
"You have the new E92? My first love is the E30. More brie?"
The sound of the V8 e92 M3 hitting 8,400 rpms is magical but the inline 6 of the e46 M3 heaven. I don't like the idea of the turbo in the new M3 or gag M4. I hope they don't name it that and kill a legend.
M3 is always the answer.
