SCCA, LA chapter BMW club is holding an advanced drivers training day on May 1st. I know, this is really late posting...but i figured i would get it out there.

http://www.motorsportreg.com/index..../uidEvent/AFC4DEE4-D681-4D6D-89802586D9D122BF


I am planning on attending, assuming nothing happens to my XR, any time in the near future...:top:

I completely forgot about posting this link sooner, but to be honest, i forgot about it until i got a reminder email today, to pay...:laugh:

So yah, ill be drifting there. Doing what ever they allow me to do, within the realm of reason. :blurock:So come out and check it out if your bored or see about registering. Might be full...not sure on that one:ahhhhh:

Assuming i find someone to go with me, there will be footage of this. :top:

Waiting to here back from the guy on both ?'s.

Its autoclub speedway.. Its other nickname is Fontana Speedway...I think it used to be called California speedway...All these venues and stadiums keep changing names depending on who's the highest bidder:dontknow:

nice. F some 240s up! You going to look into some steering angle mods eventually? It would be wild to see a Taco pull some serious angle.

What rear differentials are you using? I think my truck would have been doing donuts with only one tire spinning. I need to get that fixed
