The track is always a great place to meet! Below is a link for the first BMW HPDE at NJMP this year in early April. Hopefully we will actually have some Spring weather by then. Already registered and hopefully will you see more folks there!

Agreed - although seems one of the Z4s is Sunday only? They are holding a Sunday event for 1st timers (mixed in with the regulars) it seems.
I'll be alone this time around (usually have a gang of 6 or more with me). Will have some rain tires on me just in case. There's a great mexican place called "El Guac" that I frequent for some crazy good authentic Mexican! Looking forward to that

Up to 6 Z4 Coupes and 2 Z3 coupes now! Weather on Saturday is looking pretty awesome, too. Lets hope that Sunday clears up as well.

Just saw! Exciting. Weather at 70deg is perfect. Noticed an instructor is in a Z4M.
They haven't assigned groups or instructors yet, this will be my first time with BMW CCA. I've been doing a few solo events lately with other clubs, but seems BMW is more strict on only allowing solo to Advanced drivers. That always the case?

Looks like I was the only Z4 in my intermediate group. Sorry didn't have time to come meet any of the other Z4's out there at NJMP Was too busy between sessions taking care of annoying issues with the car (like having my turbo oil drain tube come loose and spilling 5 qts of oil during an entire session! how in the world does that happen lol).
What a nightmare it was to clean up underneath the car. Hope you did well Azeka1 - I believe I saw your car and must have waved hello.

Sorry that we did not connect and that you had some issues. I swung over a couple of times but we must have kept missing each other. Your car looked great and sounded phenomenal every time you came down the straight! Oliver with the Blue coupe was also great to meet, not sure if he is on here.

No, it seems to just spew out into the air during my laps (wasn't a complete dump). A few cars behind me mentioned getting splattered with oil drops. Once it got onto my tires and caused me to have a "moment" during a turn, I knew then something was up. My oil perssure was dipping to 10psi more often as well, which was a sign...
Car did well, had no performance issues. Rain was a great time to test out my rain tires. Was spinning the rears at 120 down the main straight. Have to stay off boost when wet. Other than the times I was experimenting, was passing everyone in my group. Ran into a few trains, but overall everyone was good at giving pointbys. Met some cool people as well. I tried to stay low key but the tech inspectors spilled the beans of my swap once they opened the hood. After that, anyone that saw me already gave me "the look" haha. I think Oliver? with the blue coupe (big wing?) - came over and chatted up with me while I was cleaning the oil and swapping tires. Had a British or Australian accent. He did mention he was on Zpost but rarely posts. How was your weekend?

Good to hear and certainly a great group of people to run with! Advanced class was good as well. Pointbys came quick and we only ran into a train in the first session due to the Instructor training but not a big deal.
Only wish that the weather was better today.

You talking about this one:
NASA - Northeast Region Friday, May 4 — Sunday, May 6, 2018 New Jersey Motorsports Park - Lightning I'm signed up for TT4C on Pocono double infield that weekend. Heck, I would prefer to be down at NJMP to be honest, but it's costly for sure.

Yea, that’s the event and agree NASA is pricey and I never used to do their DE events but I will say I learned more with their instructors than any other group. Best value track time was PCA Schattenbaum...

Thanks for this good info. Never did a NASA event but sounds like it’s worth a shot.
By the way, I’ll be doing the PCA car control clinic on May 6th. Still some open spots if anyone is interested. https://www.motorsportreg.com/events...-events-317451
