Hi Guys,
Anyone on here attending this event by BMW CCA White Mountain Chapter? I signed up earlier this week. Alex |

Oh crap. Didn't realize it was so close. That snuck up on me. I've done that HPDE in years past and it's usually a pretty good group that shows up. Have you driven the NHMS track before?

Prepare to have a GREAT time. And listen to the instructor. And don't be ashamed to give people point-by's. First time on track you quickly learn to leave any and all ego in the garage. If you have a torque wrench, bring it. There's a good chance you'll need to re-torque the lugs after a few runs. If you don't have one, someone there almost certainly will and everybody is usually really good about sharing. And don't be shocked to realize at the end of the day that you've pretty much trashed your tires...but it's SOOO worth it. As far as the track itself goes...it's a little heady (to me). There's not much runoff anywhere, but that's more of a psychological thing and not something you'll likely need (if you listen to the instructors). The instructors usually do a really good job of sharing tips about lines to follow and won't push you to be any more aggressive than you're comfortable with. I'm by no means a "track guy", but I've done multiple days at NHMS in recent past, so if you have any questions/concerns/etc., lemme know. I'm happy to try to answer if I can. Scott |

Thanks for the info. What tire pressures were you running on the track? I'll be running brand new PSS on stock 437M wheels for reference. Alex |
