I hit that, hard. However, I do get back from the BVI's the day before, so no harsh comments about my driving that day...
Yes... I am already making excuses.

the clamshells were slow and tough on turn 4. I really liked the sweeping turns at 5 and 6 though. The staggered blocks with 6 cones each were pretty useless. going left into the first slalom was the winner. Rain sucks for times but damn is that shit fun!

that course yesterday was awesome. not too technical, but several areas of the course were set up so that if you were on your line, you could really find a lot of speed. i think the best were the 2 "diagonal chicanes" on the front straight which could be 100% straightlined if you got yourself set up right.
andy's right about that long rear sweeper that came into the 2nd option slalom. really got to get up some speed and FLY into that second option slalom just before coming on to the final runway. speaking of that slalom, i don't know what it was about it, but after like the 3rd run i was ON FIRE back there. anyone else? THE NUMBERS (am/pm average time) 1. 83.157 - larryn 2. 85.044 - and 1 3. 85.935 - artmasterx 4. 86.893 - bdh1821 5. 87.385 - ml 6. 87.391 - aruttled (by .006 seconds) 7. 89.726 - bimmerbaron

I also broke my streak of 1st place finishes that stood for two years. Nice seeing you guys again, and really enjoyed the passenger seat runs. |

Stellar!! Way to go! Especially the novices!! It must have been great to see so many 1ers out there.
If you listen, almost all our cars make a clicking sound when cornering hard, as does ML's M3, I noticed.

It tried to take out a slalom once, but somehow they only counted three cones. Otherwise, I had two clean runs. Oh yeah, there was the big slide off the back turn.

Stick a true LSD in there, and the clicky noise goes bu-bye. All BMWs get oil starved too, unless a baffled oilpan is installed. That's a lot quieter click than the brake one though, so I'm sure that's the one you are probably hearing. |

I did not hear brians/mikes clicking as they drove by. Does that mean they drive slow like grandmas?

My M clicks really loudly. It's definitely the same as on the 1ers. However, I do have a LSD instead of the e-diff.

I am not sure what caused it, whether it is the e-diff or just normal braking, but my right rear tire has some strange wear on the tread. My left rear did not show the same wear...
The scrape marks on the tread are definitely from braking and not accelerating, I can tell by where rubber remnants are left. Maybe it was due to the sweepers just before and after the final slalom, causing the right rear to loss most of its traction.
