Exclamation My pics from Carolina Motorsports Speedway...

As some of you know, 2 weekends ago I hung out with Dave and Krista and Krista had a Track event at Carolina Motorsports Park...Wiz2 (member here) also went Saturday, he has an immaculate G35 sedan 1st gen....

Here are some random pics I thought I would share. It was very cool to hang out and see all the different cars and watch them race.

I took a hot lap in a Z4 coupe and this dude could DRIVE. I mean we passed everyone. I've also ridden with Dex in his M coupe at the Dragon and this car is just a blast to be in. The Z4 coupe was NOT an M but he was faster than damn near everyone.

Krista can drive her butt off as well!! She had a lot of work done to her E36 M3 track car, as in TRACK CAR, rollcage, StopTechs up front, bare chassis..etc..

This guy was cool to talk to. Here is his E30 with a Euro Spec E36 engine swap...Yes, the over 300hp version. Car is just too incredible....
