Cassie, if you see that next time tell Mike or myself and we’ll be happy to rip off their non-helmeted heads 😉 ---

How much is renting a helmet? And any requirements as far as cars go? ---

> [@clinzee](#): > > How much is renting a helmet? And any requirements as far as cars go? Helmets are $10 I think…? I honestly can’t remember. All info about any requirements can be found in the handbook link in the first post. It’s mostly basic safety stuff :tup: ---

Awesome, I really want to rip the turbo off my car sell it and get in on this track stuff. I might make it out to one of these this year. It looks bad ass as hell. ---

I might show up to this one as well… see how many of these “winter projects” I can squeeze out by then. The one I went to last year was a blast! =) ---

completely understandable, even if it’s a damn shame - it’d be stupid for Josh to piss money away (I doubt he’s making a profit as i is) on near-empty days. besides it means Mike and I can rent it ourselves some time 😉 BWAHAHAHA ---

> [@FlatBlak](#): > > It must be taken care of at this point, Silver what are your plans for the BMW? Track the shit out of, like my previous cars. Either picking up some NT01’s, V710s or Pilot Sport Cups to fit a set of 17x8" Rota Torques that I got off [e46fanatics.com](http://e46fanatics.com) for $400 incl shipping. Carry my own tires in my own car for once… very excited about that. Getting some KW V2’s to swap in eventually, doubt it will be by the first track day. Would like to get an exhaust on at the same time, but they are a little pricier than I care for at this point. Doubt I’m going to beat any of my lap times from the Boxster, but I’m no where near skilled enough yet to say it’s the car holding me back. Specifically looking to improve on my trailbraking skills, or at least be more aware of when I’m doing it/when I should be doing it. Can’t wait to get the bmw out on the track to really see how she likes it… hope she loves it as much as the Boxster did. Every highway offramp makes me curse winter weather. Edit: Wow, could I be any more ramble-y today? ---

^^F bod convention… I was hoping an Fbod owner would step up, I want shockwave to be there, he can help us both Silver, those mods will really sharpen the car, I think it should get close to the boxster, hopefully you wont be much behind the boxster in the brake department ---

The bimmer wont be anywhere near the boxster in power, weight, setup, tire, or brakes. It’s a great car, but the Boxster is leaps and bounds a faster car.
