Thanks again for the ride, that was a blast. Nice pic also, saving that one! My earlier instructor spun us out in his car in turn 1. My first spin, it wasn't even me... Great day, goodluck in Willow.
Not sure how good of a driver TC is, but he wasn't holding back at all. The car looked smooth around all the tight corners. Stock M3 except for their Coilover system I think.

Nice, that M3 looks hot.
Just wondering how fast you are going in that turn where the pics is taken?

Not sure where that turn is...so no telling how fast we were at that point.
BTW, on the way home I got a flat in my right front R compound tire..and in the short time it took to notice the flat and pull over..I apparently ruined the side wall. That tire could have been repaired..BUT the sidewall is hosed. Good thing I won a set of Toyo tires at the event. SAWEET.

Good to meet you too Steve! Dascamel, we were parked so close together and I am sorry that I did not get a chance to say hi. I did, however, get some video of you on track which I will post when I get a chance.
I am going to start another post for my in car videos and some from outside. Sorry about the flat, but congratulations on winning the raffle!!!

The M3 was moving just fine..I know it had TC Kline suspension...not sure of tires. It is definitely respectable. I think it is a bit better out of the box as compared to the RS4.

Was TC Kline able to pull away from you in that session? Nice pics.

Yes, TC pulled away from us very easily... No lap times, rigid no timing rules.

rofl, "ok not very easily", but he was definately able to put down more power out of all the tight turns.

I drove an e92 M3 at VIR (student's) 100% stock and with around 2,500 miles on it for about 30 minutes. I will say the car is fantastic! Granted each driver is different, but I toasted an e46 M3 on the track. I'm giving the M3 a hard look (get rid of my 335i), but with the miles I drive for work and buying a new car every two years...just doesn't make good economic sense.
