Trying to Break 1:26 at Willow Springs - Jack Olsen

Buddy of mine sent this, not Z4 content but great video. Would like to turn my 3.0si into something like this many many years later. Perhaps a S85 swap lol.

Very cool video! I just raced Willow in my 3.0si a few weeks ago. It's awesome.

Been following Jack for years. I watched his laps around Thunderhill before my first track day and thought "this guy runs at light speed". Still following as I love the DIY approach as well as driving skill.

Great Video..loved it.
Jack Olsen is a truly unique individual. I learned of him from hanging out on "The Garage Journal" forum - his garage thread is a great example of space utilization and innovation.
Here's another good video. It's Petrolicious' piece on him done a couple of years ago "One Car to do it All":

Impressive. My best time on a 250GP bike was mid 1:25s
