Any of the California Mafia members going to Buttonwillow April 6-7? Or planning to join the Los Angeles chapter at AutoClub Speedway on Friday May 3rd?
damn wish I could go.
Hey Derek, I know you're just polishing off your rear end swap, or is it done? When is your next planned track day? There is a BMW CCA AutoX on April 20th at Marina Airport, near Monterey. Also one this Sunday, April 7th, at Candlestick, but it's already sold out.
First autocross of the season...and boy was it a rough one.
Car just didn't want to put power down today:

Smoother run, but 0.2 seconds off my FTD

Damn. Into 3rd quick, then stayed there. What was all the squeeking about?

I went from 1st to 2nd quick off the line to gain torque and eliminate looping it with that off-camber turn...and then stayed there.
The squeaking is from my HP+ pads. It was rather cold (50*F) so brakes and tires never got to temperature. That lead to trouble with power down, and brakes that were loud.
