Forget rollercoasters, put your kids into NASCAR... →
Not your ordinary childhood experience. Roller coasters, go-carts and Knight Rider have allowed the average person hints of the high-octane thrill of competitive racing, but until you’ve been on the track at high speeds, you haven’t felt a thing. Taste high-velocity euphoria with Today’s Deal from the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience. Choose from the following options: $64 for a 3-Lap High Speed...

Preparations
This is my first full rookie year. I will have my first BMWCCA Club Racing races. And because I ran an interrupted season last year, I still have one more NASA race with my rookie “R” in its orange tape glory. I wasn’t intending to do much with the racecar this year but gut out the extra weight now that I’ve dropped the regional SpecM3 class to go for full-on GTS-2, but...

Thinking about leaving SpecM3
This has been my first year of wheel-to-wheel racing, so maybe this is premature, but I’m racing for the racing. It’s no fun running alone. In fact, it sucks. So as this season approaches a close, I’m looking at dropping SpecM3 as a target racing class for next year. So far I’ve yet to meet anyone who’s still racing SpecM3. Those who did in the past have moved on to...

One of the oddball race prep items
Sewing sponsor and club patches onto the fire suit. I plan to use stickem and an iron. Needles are too dangerous! ;)

Gear
Last year I was bitten by the road track bug. Oh my! I did a bunch of DE days with 4 different organizations on 5 different tracks. And was it fun! This year I’m intending to take it up a notch and get into wheel-to-wheel racing. I got an old M3 with 150k miles on it, so I won’t be risking my daily driver (which I love too much to risk that way). But now I need to get the safety gear...
