So I’m out on the road with AKA Rally right now. Sitting in a bar in Cedar Rapids that is straight out of a bad 70’s movie waiting for everyone else to arrive. (We’ve rolled in top 5 consistently the past 2 days). So far two people have been pulled for 192 and 196 mph… lol… on open traffic free stretches of road of course. The m5 has been flawless and is smoking tires nicely. Here are a few pics shot by Neel over at DTMPower from Day 1. I’ll try and hop on tomorrow and update some more. I’m at 0 for tickets right now _knocks on wood_ with 1 police escort “out of the state of ohio”. Hit 182mph today with some left to go, we’ll find out further west just how far the ///M will push.

Rally started in NYC yesterday? We went NYC to Columbus, Columbus to Grand Rapids. I did half a turbo swap on a Turbo NSX in a parking lot last night until the guys who built the car showed up and put the new one back on. ---
