Is anyone going to Desmoines to help with the Iowa chapter to put on street survival? If you are let me know, maybe I'll go along to help. Dr. Jerry...
Hey guys, The Iowa Chapter is sponsoring a BMW corral at the SCCA Runnoffs. Also, the are promoting our Pig Trail Rally...don't make us look bad by more Iowa...
Jerry, I think Craig was looking into this. I simply cannot make it but do think it is beneficial for someone to go and report back about the event. We are...
Jeff, Jerry et al - We'd be happy to have someone come over and observe/work the event. Please advise Harlan Donaldson, the event chair, of names for those...

The Lincoln Lunch in October will be held on the 13th, not the 6th. the calendar has been updated....
this is a track car... and while 24 minutes at MPH is OK for the existing brakes, 26 minutes, IS NOT. I also want something reasonably matched to the tires...
Jeremy, On my e30 I'm running the Hawk HP+. I've been extremely happy with them on the few days I've driven the car on track but I do have to admit....I don't...
Ok, I'll bite, although I am going to suggest a route you may not want to hear. First, are you ready for track rubber such as the RA-1? Are you already...
Though Mike's wisdom is underutilized, it is the best advice you can get. Increasing the car's limits before before/during learning to increase/ maximize one's...
Mike & Len's comments are excellent advice. Since you need tires here is what I'd suggest; Falken 615s. and a high performance street pad. The Falken are cheap...
What, no one recommended Hoosiers and HT10's? You guys talk like you know Jeremy :-D Maybe he feels he needs redemption for driving on my snow tires at the...
I am currently running porterfield R4-S(treet) pads, and hankook rs2's. Works great, can chirp front tires (then abs) under braking even at the end of a...
not going to hoosiers... just, no. the 14" size is really the biggest hurdle in this, there are not very many good street tires available... and Sheridan,...
Jeremy, First I'll agree with everyone else that says street tires are a great learning tool and I think you should use them until they won't hold up to track...
Driving in the rain is like doing pull-ups. It really is good for you......but it still sucks. I've learned to enjoy the driving aspect of the rain very much,...
Chet, a couple answers... 1) street miles??? 100-200 all year... when I'm at the track and need gas, I'll drive it to the station. I might do a quick...
I LOVE driving in the rain. I PRAY for rain at a new track and this is from someone who's rolled a car in the rain. I found myself on the inside of the roof of...
I've only logged one event (damn travel, but hey, I resigned Saturday so in two weeks I'm no longer a road-warrior!), MPH in April. I have to say that rain...

good info on the rotors... $150 for all 4 rotors is very tolerable too... I need to find the "round-to-square" adaptors for the front inlets, otherwise, that's...
Jer, I would NOT use the HT-10's on the E-30. They like heat to really work well and are made for a heavier car, not a lightened E-30. One thing I have...
Why stick with 14"ers? I'll give you my Falken 215's (14's) if you must stick with 14" rims. S ________________________________ From: bmwccamvc@yahoogroups.com...
thanks for the note on the HT-10s... and you ALL have had bad luck with non-OE rotors in stock sizes, I don't see a reason to learn that lesson AGAIN... so...
I also think the Falken 615's seem to like a heavier car as well, in my opinion. Sheridan's 615's are not responding as well as they are on my M5 or Tarun's &...
I resigned Saturday ... ... MPH in April. ... I'd almost go so far as to encourage new trackers to seek rain... ... on how much rain driving they got. If it...
They have about 3/32's. There are no cords showing and they aren't blue if that's what you are talking about :-D S ________________________________ From:...
Keep in mind that the Hawk HPS is a high performance street pad. Matched with good street tires, the pad works well at DEs for the novice/intermediate driver...
