This was my first weekend back at VIR in a year and my first weekend on the Kuhmo V730s. Overall, I'm pretty happy with how things went. I only attended Sunday and I was still relearning the track and tires. Got a few 2:12s midway through the session but the sun at oak tree was getting horrible and I was getting clumsier back there.

First weekend out in 6 months and with the Mfactory plate LSD in 1.5way configuration. The biggest learning curve was understanding the diff during trail braking. On Saturday afternoon we had a session get a light sprinkling and it made for a fun time out on track with slick tires.

Nights and morning were a bit chilly, but mid 70s during the day made for a very pleasant and mild weekend at the track. Got into a good groove in the last of 6 sessions on Sunday with several friends and went home feeling great. Still rocking the open diff, and it’s shortcomings are becoming more and more apparent. LSD happening this month. Switched up to PFC 331/332 for this weekend after usi...

4th session on Sunday 6Nov2022 at Carolina Motorsports Park with NASA-SE. My best/most fun session even though I blew it going into T11 on my best lap of 1:48.5. Probably lost a full second just from that goof. Got 7 HC on the 2018 Toyo RS1 tires and they might be lacking some overall pace, but they are still pretty consistent. Moved up to 650 lb/in front springs and 800 lb/in rear springs from...

2003 BMW 330 ZHP caged and gutted. Last session on Sunday at 4:30. Ambient around 90-91. This was my first push session on Toyo RS1 slicks in 245/640R18 mounted all around. Fastest lap was my last, but still have lots of room to improve pace and consistency. They are 2018 date codes, but new, so it will be interesting to see how they last. I paid about one third retail price and was interested ...

Here’s part of the Sunday morning session at the Rockingham Roval in NC. Pavement was quite abrasive, but they have received grant money for a repave, but don’t know when it will happen. Sadly I don’t think I will return until it is paved. Otherwise a great and fun track though. This was my first weekend with Toyo RR scrubs and they were pretty consistent and heat tolerant compared to some othe...

Sunday morning session before the rain/sleet set in for the rest of the day. First weekend in the car after getting the cage done. Still running the KW Clubsports with date code 2017 Falken Azenis 615K tires.

My second event with NASA-SE and first time at Carolina Motorsports Park. I'm glad I got the new pavement! Moved up to DE2 and this is from session 4 on Sunday. My camera battery died part way through though. Can't wait to head back!

Session 2/3 at the SCCA Track Night in America hosted at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the Roval configuration on July 10, 2020. My car is a 2003 330i ZHP sedan with catless headers running Falken Azenis RT615K on Apex 17x9 et30 wheels.

2003 BMW 330i ZHP I had a loud thump after every shift when I would get back onto the power. This bushing was toast after 125k miles. I’m at 155k miles and noticed a crack in the floor around 140k. The worn bushing likely accelerated the crack formation.
