E36 ITS/R Questions

[snk328is]

Hey Nobu. I'm on Bimmerforums, but not EuroTeknik. On BF.c, I'm "juliank8z". I think we may have traded e-mails before. Did you have a trailer for sale recently?

Hey Julian, yes it looks like we traded emails about the trailer I had for sale. I sold it to another local BMW guy.

It will be good to have another ITR racer here (and with a BMW to boot) in the Chicagoland area. I'm brand new to this region myself but as I understand it, there aren't many IT racers up in our neck of the woods.

BTW, I signed up for an Audi club DE at Autobahn the first weekend of April. $260 for two days, plus $44 to join the Audi club if you're not a member already. They are giving a $100 discount for those who have never attended one of their DE's. I figured it's a good way to shake down the car before the drivers school at the end of the month. Are you planning on attending any other DE's before the drivers school? There's an event being held every weekend in April.

Hey Nobu ---

I'm actually in St. Louis, and would probably race more with the MidDiv region. Gateway is about 25 minutes from my house, which is nice! I was planning on doing the MidDiv school, which is at MidAmerica Motorplex this year. Then I found out that CenDiv was doing their school at BlackHawk, which is an hour or two closer for me. You never know, though, Chicagoland isn't really that far. You should also come down here sometime if you get the chance!

I'll likely do at least one DE at Gateway before the school.

Sounds like a heck of a deal with the Audi club!

Ah gotcha...

Ya know, I just put 2 and 2 together. You got your cage done at Izzy's right? My car is down there right at this very moment getting pretty much the same cage you have in your car put in mine. My car is even the same color (or close to it). Is yours Avus, Montreal or Mauritius Blue?

Small world!

I'll have to check out the MidDiv schedule. This is my first year back in racing after a prolonged hiatus so I think my schedule is going to be limited to cut down on expenses after dropping a large chunk in a new cage and suspension. But I may need to stretch my legs to look for more IT competition once I get into the swing of things...

See you at BHF...

No kidding small world! Mine was originally Mauritius Blue. Now it has primer colored "accents". Lol. Will probably see a low-end paintshop in the near future.

It's funny, too, as Scott had mentioned that he had another E36 in the shop right now. How coincidental that it would be you. Scott does fantastic work, I'm sure you'll like the cage. When are you coming down to pick it up?

I'm scrambling to get everything ready in time for BHF, and I might have to rent a car for the school if I can't get everything finished. Do you know of anybody in the area that might have a RWD car for rent? I don't want to do that unless I absolutely have to, but better start putting plan B together.

Looking forward to meeting you Nobu.

Thankfully mine doesn't have any "accents", and I hope to keep it that way... Montreal Blue here BTW.

The cage will be done this week and I'm scheduled to pick it up on Saturday. The guy I'm driving down with mentioned getting together with some other BMW guys for lunch. Perhaps you'd like to join us? (If so, PM me your contact info.)

I actually don't know many people in this area as I'm relatively new and even newer to the racing crowd. Sorry...

Looking forward to meeting you Nobu.

Likewise!
