Hi! My name is Anthony Holloway and as of February of this year, I am a BMW owner and BMWCCA member. Since that time I have already attended four local North Start BMW chapter events to include: One tech session put on by Imola Motorsports One tech session put ton by Orr Motorsports One Advanced Car Control Clinic One family and friends karting event I am already planning for the next event, which is a two day Performance Driving School at BIR in June. Any tips for me? Rookie mistakes I should look out for? My car is a CPO purchased 2010 BMW 135i with a six speed manual transmission. I love this thing! -Anthony PS It looks like these forums are hardly used. Is that an accurate perception or am I not seeing the hot spots of the forums?
Certainly, the intro forum here is currently the most-posted-in of the forums. Traffic is down since a re-configuration of the website a while ago, still picking back up. Don't go away, and welcome.
Only tip is leave any ego at the gate and make sure your brake fluid is fresh. Something I regret is not keeping a log of all my events. Note the track. Tire pressures. What you need to remember or work on next time. What worked and what didn't work. I also find recording my sessions to be helpful. Especially before returning to the same track.
"The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin' on his back!" Actually though, what Floyd said - it's a small percentage of members who participate regularly on the forums; on the up-side, you'll be amongst a very select group of highly discriminating & intelligent club members ( ) so, yes, don't go away. Peruse the driving school forums, you should find any number of posts & threads of interest - http://www.bmwcca.org/forum/index.php?forums/driving-schools.117/ Welcome to the club & forums!
Welcome, keep posting. there are a few that do, and it gives me something to read at night while I work!
