Alright, enough of models and magazines - let's get to what you guys really care about. How the 135i is doing on the track (especially compared to old benchmarks like the '95 e36 M3 ltw's)

We did the BMW club race at Thunderhill (great track BTW) up in Willows, Ca. on Aug. 8/9. It was a little on the warm side (temps in the 90s), which are not ideal for going after track records, but Ralph was able to get new H-Stock track records for both the Cyclone and Bypass configurations. 

New on the car this time were some little splitters on the front bumper, e92 M3 front sway bar and Hawk DTC 60/70 pads.

Here's Ralph tearing it up in Turn 10

Hi All -

With Road Atlanta coming up at the end of September, we've started getting ready.

Picked up a little track trailer back in July. We cleaned up the wiring, powder-coated the uprights on the wheel rack, cleaned the trailer up a little, new taillights, some DOT reflective paint, some eyebolts around the edge for tying down to, a spare tire mount on the tounge and a spare tire, some saftey chains and painted the wheels with silver wheel paint. I think it's ready to roll!

Kind of in a holding pattern waiting/preparing for next races. Next race is at Buttonwillow on Sept. 19/20

More from Thunderhill in August
