This will be a busy winter!

Came home to find this in the mail: the "Spirit of Club Racing" award for the Calabogie weekend. It was very unexpected and makes the event even more memorable for me. The BMW CCA Club Race guys really made me feel welcome! I'll be back for sure. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/anwarius/190e%2...

Finished my first race weekend with BMW CCA CR at Calabogie. I was at the back of the pack, but had a great time. Can't wait to do it again! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/anwarius/190e%2016v%20Project/Race%20prep%20for%20Calabogie/D2AD6B29-A425-4B19-A63C-65EAAE9960EF_zpsonqmdmzj.jpg http://i...

I couldn't say, Mike. It was my very first time at VIR. Loved it!

Believe it or not, I've been doing track stuff for about 15 years and this was my first ever trip to VIR. I can't believe I missed out on this! What a fantastic place. The folks at Tarheel CCA ran a very tight ship. Tons of track time: I put in 340 track miles (100+ laps!) over 2.5 days. Here are so...

Here's short (<3 min) clip highlighting a minor "Initial D moment" at Calabogie last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKaPN0yR--Y Those Yoko Advan A048 tires don't take heat very well.
