LOL thats what I was thinking... I could never put my baby through that!!! 2 weeks or 2 years, it don't matter! No track for me. Some joyriding when I'm alone and away from traffic, but thats the only abuse she gets.

RollTide87...WAR EAGLE to ya !
The BMW club allows anyone that pays the fee to come out and enjoy. We had Porsches, Vettes, 3 Mustangs, BMWs.
As long as you get your car tech inspected before the weekend and fill out the proper forms and waivers there is no problem.
Barber is the best...better then any amusement park ride you can imagine. The elevation changes, the technical nature of the track and the scenery can't be beat.

I have never seen 25K bucks in the ground nor seen trees growing money, 25K or 100K its money invested and IMO should be taken care of, in certain way atleast

I just hate to see a perfectly good mustang sit in a garage all day, when people should be on the open roads slamming gears with it, letting the V8 roar. or having fun with it, on a friday night at the track.

Glad to see your driving your car the way it was ment to be.
Plus it's ALOT safer on a closed course, than street racing!
I was down at Sebring last month, and it is addictive. Nice going!

EXACTLY!
Street racing=[sm=badidea.gif]
Track days=[sm=wootwoot.gif]
I don't abuse my cars, in fact my sons BMW is an '01 with 98,000 miles and it's always being mistaken for a 1-2 year old car. That car has been going to the track for the last 4+ years.
Use it...don't abuse it !

RE: More pics of the 2 week old GT on the track
if you guys/gals haven't autocrossed, you gotta at least try it!!! it's super cheap to play [$30 or so] and is the most fun i've had driving a car in my life! i thought it would just be like driving a parking lot, but it really takes skill to go fast/slow/turn at just the right times and feels much faster than what you'd imagine. events all over the country every weekend, and my experience has been people are always willing to teach a noobie how things are done. granted my 200 treadwear ebay dunlops are severely chunked, but i bought them to race and dammit that's what i intend to do! hyperfest will be my first track day in june at summit point. CANT' WAIT!!!
