    Thumbs up My Turbo BMW at Road Atlanta....

    Well finally I got the chance to take my turbo car to Road Atlanta; it was my first even with the BMW-CCA, but I was stunt on how well organized everything was, and how good the weekend played out.

    This was a DE only and as a DE the main objective is safety first and then learn how to drive, so I wasn’t going to go all ball’s out with out some key elements such as:

    • Have not been in the “new” RA (they chance the course a bit).
    • I didn’t have good tires until Sunday
    • The TRM suspension was un-tuned
    • In front of my instructor’s eyes, I was another rich guy with a 500WHP car with a dead wish.
    • Being placed in group D made it really hard to try to go fast since other students were just starting out.

    The good news is that the car went thru the weekend without issues, just traction issues and my wideband oxygen sensor went bad.

    It took a lot to gain the trust of my instructor, but by the end of the weekend after we faced situations like: people driving really slow in front of me, people driving way off line, cars braking down, and me refusing to pass in some occasions due to safety; he finally came around and allowed me to put the car where I though it was happy, where I felt it was safe but fast.

    My quickest lap was 1min 46sec, they are placing me on B for next even maybe then I’ll have a little more room to get a good rhythm going and get into the 1:30s and once I make it to group A I can jump from the RA-1s to hoosier’s, and really put some power to the ground. :evil2

    BTW Sat. I was on all season tires, but for Sun. I bought some used RA-1s (lucky me a friend had them in her garage).

    Well, here are the videos:

    Very nice. How much the did event cost and where can I find out some info on it? The video's weren't the most extreme hyper-exciting stuff you see from Road Atlanta but they do offer a very good insight into how the instruction and overall mechanics of the track time work out. I like!

    $430 for the weekend (BMW CCA Peachtree chapter)

    oh yeah, very smooth and safe stuff, no off road stuff or extreme angles... time wise okay but the car should be able to be in the 30s easy.

    They changed the track? So you haven't been on it since the gravity cavity and all?

    Looks fun though, BMW Club runs a good event I usually work their weekends, I may run one this year, I'd say BMWCCA and Porsche Club both offer great DE events and you don't have to own a BMW or Porsche or even like them to run with them. lol (BMWCCA guys make some HILARIOUS BMW jokes)

    Not bad times either, 1:30's is pretty quick though, or did you mean 1:30's in general not just 1:30.***

    Jumping from 1:46 to 1:40 would be a big jump in one weekend.

    The BMW events are great but you should look into some NASA events I've always felt like you get more track time

    RA has gone thru many changes but I meet RA when 10a & 10b was there (2000), but I remember when the added the drift pad on 10b and then they added/move some walls between 2-4 and the esses.

    I meant get into the 30s, but i have the power to deliver a 30 flat lap, it's just a matter of putting the power to the ground....

    What are you talking about? 10A and 10B are there, the drift loop, the bike chicanes, and the walls being moved don't effect you...unless you run off into them. lol

    2-4 they added walls? They moved the walls back in the esses.

    Anyway about me asking about how low you sit it looks like your arms are bent up. You have the power to do a 1:30? Do you have the skill, the suspension, and the tires?

    Yeah, nothing has really changed. It may look a little different but thats it. Track is still the same.

    How about track conditions, or tires, or brakes, or P/W ratio, or how about the safety.....
    Also what you do not know is that I was never WOT, or never used 50% of the potential of my car...

    Also I wasn't going act like a child, and drive like a big shot in a group full of un-experience drivers, putting their life, their instructors, my instructor and my life in danger, b/c some child like you would callout my times in a forum like this.....

    Some said "He thinks he is a pro race car driver and giving you a hard time. Good videos " (key word pro).

    My point was/is that in this motor sport the definition of PRO is different than what that member might think. In a scene b/c you paid to drive a race car it doesn't make you a pro... or because you built one makes you one either.

    Yeah someone has to invest money to go somewhere, like an engineer does paying tuition to a college, but paying the city or a company to give you a job is not how is done....

    So just to be fair to this stupid argument, the tuition money will equal building the cars that will help put your name out there, or buying a seat for a couple of seasons.... but moving all the way to the top base on money is just buying your way into heaven....


    My point is simple a PRO makes a living from racing, either on sponsorship income or other like a race shop, internet business etc.....

    BTW here it is the definition of Professional:

    a : participating for gain or livelihood in an activity or field of endeavor often engaged in by amateurs <a professional golfer> b : having a particular profession as a permanent career <a professional soldier> c : engaged in by persons receiving financial return <professional football>

    My track conditions....cool and clear. Tires where 245 RE-01R on 17x8.5 Kosei K1, brakes were hawk HT10 on 325is stock brakes. As for safety, rollbar, harnesses, seat. And i dont wanna hear anything about p/w b.c you make more than double my power.

    If you cant drive flat out on a trackday then you should go to another organization. I mean if i was only wanting to drive half ass then i would do parade laps. Either way, more car, slower times. sounds like someone is lacking in something...

    When I said not races I meant I've been given opportunities to test/drive cars that usually would cost money to for other drivers and I was given the opportunity for free. I meant I didn't get any free race opportunities outside of karting.

    Ok I see what you're saying now and you still don't have any clue what you're talking about.

    When someone PAYS to race, like I said, it's usually sponsor money, it's not coming from their pocket. Example, sponsor gives me $5k for a season in something, I find a team, we discuss options, I give them $5k for the season, I find another sponsor, they give me $2k for driver only sponsorship, that money can go right in my pocket. Did I lose a dime? Nope. I am racing off of one sponsor and making a small profit off of another. THAT is what MANY drivers do, if you think otherwise you're HIGHLY mistaken.

    The lala land of being "found" from racing karts or club racing is nearly unheard of. EVERYONE pays to get to heaven in motorsport.

    There IS a difference in those drivers and drivers who just pay to race without making a profit, THOSE are not professional drivers YET, but MOST professional drivers came from there. This IS how it works. I have no clue who told you otherwise but go to any large pro race and talk to drivers and teams, they will tell you exactly what I just tried to explain to you. There aren't many drivers out there who get paid directly from the team, sponsors, etc. Those are top of the line real professional drivers and that's a HARD nearly impossible job to obtain, even if you're as good as Michael Schumacher I PROMISE you will spend LOADS of money to get there.

    Who are you talking to? I take it English wasn't a good class for you? Do you see anyone saying he can't drive? Sure Matt mentioned he ran a lot quicker in his 325IS, but I'm just speaking of motorsport drivers. Don't come in here and act like this is an e-thuggish thread. Anyone can tell he wasn't going full throttle. That means NOTHING though.

    Don't cry to me what HE said. You and I are just discussing racing and drivers.

    It was an example I didn't race anything for 3k a season I was giving you numbers as an example. However I did make a profit off of doing track days one year. lol

    That's great you dealt with them for sponsorship...and what did they do for you? What series did they sponsor you for? Toyo is easy BBS not so much. Nexxen famous contracts?

    You're the one starting to act like a douche, I'm trying to have a civil conversation and inform you on things you don't have a clue about, but you want to continue acting superior and driving your little BMW slow in HPDEs be my guest, when won't there be people to hurt on the race track? What are you hoping to get to?

    I was going to be a driver for a 2 drift/team attack team that my friends was putting together (RIP), so I know what goes down when you sign those contracts; that's it.

    I wonder what the BMWCCA or any club will say when they see what kind of mentality you carry on a HPDE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!

    And I will make sure of taking my little BMW as slow as I think is necessary to keep me and others safe on the track......

    First I ask you not to troll my thread, and you say I'm not..... then you got the whole thread off topic...

    And to be honest with you I rather for you to delete all your post that are not related to the topic of this thread.....

    I really DO NOT want to have a chat with you on how to finance you in motorsports, or how you have been doing things that got you this far...... Or my perspective in Motorsports finances....

    If you want to do so, go start a thread and discuss it with the world...... but leave this thread alone, and if you want to post in it at least stay on topic..

    Okay, what is going on in this thread? Discussion and critiquing is welcomed and encouraged as long as it is productive and goes somewhere civil. Everyone needs to watch their proverbial mouths and remember that just because you think it was insulting doesn't mean it is and just because someone got to where you are a different way doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to be there.

    Get your mind right, play nice and if you don't have something on-topic to say and just want to show off your e-peen, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.

    All I hear is blah blah I go balls out in my 325, blah blah blah blah I'm better than you.....

    I know what my car is capable of, and like I said I was not pushing the car, I know a
    full blown M3 racecar on Hoosiers can do 1:30 at RA, I also know that your 325 on bossier's might do a 1:38, so I know what my car could do at RA...

    So why don't you sign up for roebling, and stop the BS; I'll be in group B hoping to share the track with some faster cars like your 325 LOL

    If you cant drive flat out on a trackday then you should go to another organization. I mean if i was only wanting to drive half ass then i would do parade laps. Either way, more car, slower times. sounds like someone is lacking in something...

    If he HAD an ITA CRX (wherever you got that from) he'd whoop ass even more probably. lol The ITA track record at RA is a 1:42.054 set by a CRX.

    Sorry but it's not what the CAR is capable of, that's a STUPID statement, it's what the driver can do. An insanely fast car is nothing without a driver with balls and skill. A slower run group doesn't mean slow cars, some noobs actually drive fast.

    I'm getting really frustrated with you all, It's like talking to monkeys.... Let's try this for the last time..

    "I WAS" in a group full of "NOOBS", and I was still passing everyone in group D, in some spots I reached the limit on the all season tires I had that day in group "D".

    I could've gone faster on the straights but I decided not to. AGAIN being SAFE....

    For the second day I was around of some driver that were less of a "NOOB" in group "C", and with some better tires I was going faster around the turns, but I was still going slow in the straights (135) to keep it SAFE.

    So.....

    Once I get to a group with no NOOBS around the "PROS", I will go faster then since I'm around people that know better.... People in group "A" or "I" should know what to do when they see me coming in fast, and it WILL NOT take 1/2 of lap to get a point by.

    Why dont you come to Roebling, and we see wasup!

    When is Roebling? We wouldn't even be in the same group so what's the point?

    By looking at the video you posted you didn't seem comfortable or really on top of the car, which is fine we all start somewhere, but then you start giving excuses versus taking criticism and come off as a douche, I have no problem with you, I don't know you, but I'd like good relationships with IA people who share the love for the same sport as me.

    June 25-27, we can do lap-times base on video, or you can request to be place in B... All I know is that there are many factors that alter the result, it's not fast car + track day = fast lap.... I will go faster when I feel safe and have the right setup (brakes, tires, solo, good drivers around me). no major excuses here, it is what it is, nothing more than a DE in the lowest groups..

    Well unless I'm using your car I don't have a car right now to use. lol I'll be in Ohio then I think. Come to the next RA event, do Chin or a more hardcore group.
