I wouldn't hesitate, my fastest laps are usually on 40-60* mornings.

I think that's too cold, yeah. It'll be pretty darn cold until mid-afternoon, so in my opinion it makes most of the day too slick. You could go out on street tires for more consistent grip and practice being smooth, etc. Sounds like fun…

How cold is too cold for track day?

Was going to go out Sunday, but it is looking like freezing in the morning and high of around 50 later in the day. This just seems too cold, especially with r-comps.See More

That is because the vast majority of enthusiast car owners are all about the bling or street racing.

Adjusting sways is easy, especially since you often need to adjust them at the track depending upon conditions. Hardest part is you need two jacks to take the load off the sway. Let us know what you think of Pro Tuning.

I've decided to try Pro Tuning Performance. I'll report back, as I've previously been to Classic, Eurosport, Autoscope, Stett, Autobahn and BMW-Dallas.

Still in DE stage, although I've been out for a year. Need sways adjusted, corner balance, etc. Also, someone who understands modded cars generally. Very likely will have a roll bar, racing seats, etc installed soon. So you recommend Autoscope…

Yeah, there just doesn't seem to be enough interest ... or enough momentum for this venue to create sufficient interesting content. ;)

What are your goals? Full on track car to compete, or just a weekend DE'r? Makes a world of difference. I'll echo that I wouldn't let Chad touch my car.. not after some things that he did to it. Mine is at Autoscope in Plano right now…

I took my car to Chat Stett when I still had a BMW. I've not talked with Chad in ages though.

Who do you all recommend? I need to get my car back up and track ready. Need someone who not only understands e46 M3s, but also understands track mods, corner balancing, etc.

I was out second half of last year a bit: PCAs and member days at ECR. Still have the Cayman. The event at Hallett is the 10-12th of September. We'll need to figure out how to stay in touch with updates on that: email, facebook, here,…

Hey Kevin, How are you doing? Have you been out to the track at all? Do you still have the cayman? I'm interested in Hallett, let me know the dates and hopefully I can make it happen. Talk to you later

Am I a racer?

Last year I attended the skip barber 3 day racing school at Carolina Motorosports Park with another trackaddict member. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun driving their race cars around the track. A few months later, I was waiting at the doctor's office when my mobile phone rang. "Hello, This is ____ from the skip barber racing school. We wanted to see if you were interested in signing up for our race weekend coming up". I explained to her that I would love to, but I really don't have the… Continue
