Gonna be doing a track day up in Thunderhill on Sat Mar 12 in case anyone is interested/already going.

This event specifically, but I'll only be there on Saturday:

Looks like there's still a bunch of spots available.

If anyone is interested in "autox" at Sonoma, speedsf is hosting on Sat and Sun, Feb 5-6.

https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/auto-x-2-5-6-sonoma-raceway-speedsf-com-917159

First 50 entrants get in for $99 (vs regular $130), no work required. As of right now I believe they have 37 sign ups.

To be upfront (I might have mentioned this before), they don't run standard autox, it's a bit less strict/organized. It's a "dynamic" course, so if you hit a cone and it moves 2 feet that becomes the new course, cones are not moved back (unless someone really goes lawn mowing, then they fix things).

Last time I ran with them they didnt have timing working (it was their first time trying to set it up) they might get it working this time...

They allow cat and mouse and trains, but all drivers participating in cat mouse and train have to agree/be comfortable, so people dont just join your run blindly.

If you want to push the car, do car control, etc, great time. Get a lot of runs.

I'll be doing drifting, so if you want to ride along, chat, meet, etc.

Wife and I signed up for Saturday Feb 5 only. I'll run M3, she will run s2k, but I can do ride alongs in either car for fun. I'm forgoing a Sonoma trackday to have fun with wife and some friends. Hopefully some folks can make it out. Finish those carbon airbox and carbon roof winter projects.

A few of us are heading up to the cars and coffee in Novato this Sunday, in case anyone wants to join. Will probably end up getting there around 8.

it would be great to get to meet the local M3 crowd. subscribed

I’m on the central coast so I know I have to drive at least an hour but that’s okay with me. If we meet in the San Jose general area I think that could work for most.

[heinzboehmer]

We could always meet in the middle too

[mrgizmo04]

Let’s have a E46 M3 only meet up some time. Just a morning to meet some fellow enthusiasts. Anyone know of a good location for this?

Depends on where everyone lives and how far folks are willing to drive.

I'm in San Jose, some guys are in SF, some are north of SF.
