Yes definitely - go with BMW CCA, you'll get a great education. BMW CCA like many other clubs has a group specifically for beginners. I started running with the Porsche Club of America (PCA) in their beginner group ... they are fantastic too!

I cant' wait until the summer. CJ421. I love your car, the colour, the trim. This mod bug for me is a slippery slope
how does your rear look without seats? Doesn't it get cold from the air in the trunk? |

I would imagine once it gets cold, track season is over for most folks so you could throw the seats back in =)

It's honestly not that bad from a practicality standpoint, for me it was more about preservation. Didn't want to put so many miles on the motor/clutch for my commute but I get around just fine. I slapped on Blizzaks during the winter and as long as clearance wasn't an issue (less than 8") I never got stuck. But I hear you... I drive a G35x for everyday driving. And yes, the car has a Quaife diff. |

I think we should get a local club to host a 1 day charity track event. After paying rental costs (facility, corner workers, ems), proceeds go to Sandy victims. I think it's supposed to be low 60's over the weekend and early next week.

I'm thinking about making some sort of cover to go over the rear seat gap. Truth be told the rear seats aren't hard to install so I may just do that.

We should just get a Google docs spreadsheet going, we'll upload a full schedule and in the last column "members attending", just edit the cell and add your name if you're coming.

I know it's cold and weather can be iffy but I just signed up for Thunderbolt (private track rental) for last Sat of Feb. PM if you're interested, cost is $200-ish for the day and you get at least 2hrs of on-track time.
