Thanks! I am surprised by that to be honest. Why would they do something like that on a "sports" car? More economical?

How do the BMW guys get adjustable camber up front then? I have to use offset bushings (free mod), but they are not enough depending on ride height, so I have to use a 4 point a-arm to gain enough camber.

Front camber plates, for the rear we have to take the rear A-Arm point mod to get the right camber.]]>

as mentioned... camber plates up front..

the rear, depending on ride height, can get you the camber using the stock eccentric bolt. If u want crazy camber, you need aftermarket lower camber arms]]>

Thanks Mark, I have sent Greg a very long/detailed email as well last night. I didnt see the other part you qouted. If they are allowing the e46 fix (no performance gain, but is a longevity/reliabilty fix), then why can't they go further and allow other BMW chassis' with similar issues?]]>

This is just a big can of worms that EVERY driver of EVERY model car will then request waivers, rules, TB's, etc. so that they can make their cars more "safe" and "track worthy". I have (and many seasoned racers) have had nearly catastrophic failures in wheels, tires, wheel bearings, hubs, OEM/BTM and aftermarket suspension bushings, control arms, trailing arms, brake calipers, transmission/motor mounts, shocks, sway bar mounts, end links, various OEM/BTM brackets, etc, etc, etc. If we take a car built for the street, and add huge amounts of grip (and sometimes power), and then beat it up on a track for many hours, things WILL break. We are not going to go down the road of having to attempt to objectively evaluate (ie. engineering, physical testing, computer modeling, etc.) whether an upgraded part is for "safety" or performance. Street cars flex in multiple locations under load. Fixing that flex improves track performance, but can also prevent damaging BTM parts. Cages do not provide a fix in many locations. There are many car models that benefit in terms of seconds on track with just adding subframe bushings/connectors, etc.

So, while the e-mail sent to me was done really well, I could write the same e-mail for the car that I drove to five national championships. There are plenty of aftermarket parts to strengthen various known failure points. And, I personally would have, "for safety", requested No-Points metallic bushing replacement, aftermarket control arms because the stamped crap bends and breaks, and aftermarket brake calipers. Most of you could come up with similar for your cars. This is a "Pick your frog, and live with the warts" issue. If you choose to drive a car that has been known to have parts break on the track, then either upgrade those parts and take the associated points, or keep a very close eye on them and take your chances. But, either way, it is YOU that are deciding to drive a car that you think may not "be safe". We obviously would suggest that you choose a different car, or make any and every upgrade necessary so that you feel the car is safe. So, if that means you need +3 points for "other chassis stiffening devices", then so be it. If it means you need +3 points for spherical/metallic bushings, then do it. These rules are made for thousands of models of cars, and are based on the performance potential of various modifications. So, if you decide to take +3 points for other chassis stiffening devices, the use those three points to the maximal benefit.

If there is a case where there is an actual recall/technical bulletin or settled law suit by an automobile manufacturer, then we can look at those as we did with the E46's.]]>

If the Porsche moved right and the BMW left as they approached the RH T1, and the Porsche overcooked the turn I would think there has to be some consideration for the BMW driver. After all, he expected the P-car to make that turn as he all had the previous laps in that 45 min. race. I understand it was the white flag lap and both were fighting for the race, but it "sounds" klike the Beemer had a reasonable expectation of the outside line being available to him. Again, without the video it's just speculation....

Regardless of that, and regardless of what may happen during an appeal, what I really wanted to share here was not so much this specific incident but the fact we had a lot of options at our disposal for adequately dealing with it without needing the 13/13.

The plain ol' standard NASA CCR gives race officials a broad range of both guidelines and flexibility in dealing with on-track incidents. Penalties ranging from, well, nothing to full suspension from racing are available to us without resorting to class-specific add-ons. And, as I was trying to illustrate here, it gives us the flexibility to apply such penalties creatively and in measures appropriate to the situation, rather than a one-size-fits-all solution like seen in some other places.]]>

Coming out of 12 and through 13 it feels like the car is skipping sideways (toward the outside of the turn). This happened in the G35 too. It only happens in this turn, usually under increasing throttle. It is just a fairly slow pitching sensation. The car does not feel unstable and I can stay on the gas.

None of my instructors have ever said anything about it and I never thought to ask. I notice it every time but didn't really think about it until I was watching a video of one of my sessions and I could see it happening.

Now I'm just curious about what it is? Is it the tread pattern in the street tires? Do I have too much lock while accelerating? Or is it normal for turn 13?

Please add $50 for any at-track registration IF spaces are available and IF drivers can be quickly qualified for an appropriate run group.

We definitely have entries available in HPDE3, HPDE4, TT, and racing. Please email me to pre-qualify yourself for an at-track registration and reserve one of those spots.]]>

You can rent lift time and do it all your self or farm anything out to the shop to do for your. You can do everything from mounting tires, alignment, corner balancing, welding or use the state of the art paint system and paint booth.

The owner campains a Spec Miata and I run a Spec Boxster.

Reach out if you want to come buy.
