I know, I have been a dick lately and haven't posted much. Been a long stretch of welding rusty cars, meetings, spreadsheets, deadlines, hiring and firing as of late.
So far this week has been a bit more fun. As I am sure David has or will post on our social media, I spent yesterday at Road America, running the full track in new M3s and new M4s. M is for Monster and not marketing, I can assure you of that with these new cars. Wow what a cool day and it has been a while since I have run here in anger. Today, Tom and I are at the BMW Performance Center where we took delivery of our M 235i project car. Ever the realist and the grassroots guy, Tom bitched at me for weeks for ordering this car. After running it at the track today, he has started saving for one of his own. The club guys who haven't driven this car yet are saying it isn't a real M car. That is fine. James Clay of Bimmer World joined us today, did some evaluation and agreed with me, this car is the second coming of the E-36 M3. For desert, we were invited to take the early 70s Quester, Lemans winning CSL out for some hot laps. Holy crap, what a great race car! No wonder it won everywhere it went. Full reports on all this stuff in one or both magazines, our social media and our sites.
Tommorrow back to meetings, spread sheets and a long ride home. It was so worth it. Driven a lot of cool, cars in my day, but ewas shocked just how great that old CSL still is. Thanks Scott Hughes for being silly enough to let me drive it and thanks to BMW for genuinely giving a damn about car guys like us.
