Hey Walter, fantastic idea to bring a hillclimbing class to RNY. I am definitely interested. The M3 has the stock fuel tank, so no worries there. Cage is good. A few questions though: 1) I read the tyre bulletins for both RNY and the FIA regional rallys. I'm a bit confused. I think we need 17% void ...

I am certain that I will get something to race at Pikes Peak, even if it means fixing my M3 to the state it was in 2011. However I want to drive something faster, much faster . I am power-starved at the moment (or is that power-hungry?). My M3 was racing last year with 240 WHP, which is not really e...

Yes, I am racing Pikes Peak this year! Wooo hooo. Come and join me, it should be excellent. Price goes up 1 January 2012.

Of course, my M3 is pretty broken at the moment. I am trying to decide how to fix it, or even what to race next year...

Sherm's comment about the black rubber strip being left by the kiwi, yep, that was me. One wheel drive. :-( That has been my M3 for the last couple of hillclimbs, Mt Philo and Ascutney II at least, and probably Okemo II. What used to be a LSD is now a completely open diff. Hence the black tire strea...

Thanks to the organizers and workers for another memorable Philo. Sunday was great! (Sorry I missed Saturday...). Here is my quick run from Sunday (run 7) from inside the car. http://vimeo.com/30728007 Here is the same run from outside. http://vimeo.com/30713362 Understeer and squirrels: http://vime...

Thanks very much Dave for taking all the photos at this (and other) events!

I'm also making a 3D version now...

Yeah I second that! Good job everybody, especially the workers (and organizers) who make it all happen.

Thanks!!

I learned a few things. In no particular order 1. Get some experience in your car before the event. Learning to drive a "new" car at Mt Washington is a challenge 2. The better you can memorize the hill (especially the top section), the faster you can go when fog obscures your view of the r...
