    Do tell... I have been there a dozen times and I can use some tips. I would also add, prepare to rotate your front tires half way through. PBIR is murder on front left tires.

    after your 1st session and you are familiar with the track look for me, I will tell you the 3-4 things you need to nail this track.

    Nostradamus says a 1:33 at PBIR for you in your E46 M3, maybe a 1:42 with a good tail wind down the straight. I will still have my big steel bumpers on at this event if you want me to give you a little bump draft. with all seriousness this track is very easy and there should not be a huge spread in lap times between an intermediate and advanced driver here (in comparison to HMS or SIR)

    Brian looks to be quite the character, can't wait to meet him. I'm also curious to see what the track-Nostradamus predicts my M will turn in at PBIR :)

    as far as the car goes right now it weighs in at 2450, so yeah about the same as Juan and Sean in a side by side gokart. I am hoping after my panels get installed after PBIR to get around 2300, which is about the same as a Sodi kart with Peter Bekkers Ego in the seat

    Sean I do not have ESP, BMW's have been my passion for along time and I have tracked all them but my 740 for obvious reasons. I have a lot of experience with these cars from when they were new to the track and had to go through all the R&D then. I do find that the older I get the faster I was, lol. another thing Sean forgets to tell you is I am huge cynic and practical joker.

    All Looks like my friend Brain has shown up!!! What he fails to tell you in his 175 RWHP claim is that his car weighs less that Juan and I in a side by side GO-KART! He is also a paid driver and paid coach.....and very very fast I alos believe he has ESP as the fisrt time we met he look at my car and told me what the car was going to do in my next session at Sebring Yes it did it He can explain Brian play nice !!!! These are some really good people and my buds

    LOL - Juan needs a room for the night, and he can't stay with me in Delray Beach because he's alergic to my dog.

    Super, then we're having dinner at the track with the PCA guys - Pot-luck - bring a dish, or something. Did I mention we're having cake to celebrate TW's 1-year anniversary? Sean, Lisa will be bringging chicken salad and a pasta salad. She says don't forget the milk :) (M3 back on top).

    Juan, the track is so easy you will have the line down on your out lap. There are really only two places on the track that require any thought, for me this event is about the great people at GCR PCA, they put on a great event and really are top notch organizers. now if we could just get a petition to let me out at night without turn signals, or headlights.
