May 15th at LRP
Just signed up for the May 15th LRP event. Who else's going? It's my first event with BMW CCA club and I guess it's similar to the other organization. It takes about 3 and half hour for me to get there... any of you guys that are going meeting up somewhere in Jersey? cause if the event starts like around 7 a.m, which it will most likely, I might have to get a room near LRP. Also, does BMW CCA allow cruise cam? and after market tinting? mine is 20 percent but I think I'm SOL... lol... Please let me know~

I'll be there. NASA let me use cruisecam today, but it had to point toward the passanger seat and I had to ride solo. BMW CCA has allowed for it in the past.

Will be there too and I think Manny 212 and Monsta will also go.
I am going to stay around there night before (Iron Masters Inn in Lakeville, CT). I will be running in the novice group and based on the feedback of my "mentor", I will not install my Pagid Yellow pads this time, and he also said that they will not allow the cruise cam as it could possibly bother/injure the instructor. I am still working down my list of supplies, etc. Today I ordered a few things from Bavarian Autosport. See you there (rain.... or shine)

That is exactly what they said....I won't be able to 'feel' the brakes. In any case, I agree with you and I am still on the verge of swapping them. Thanks again for all your great posts; they always contain a lot of hindsights and great info!!! Looking forward to meeting you!

RS19s don't grab all that hard. If anything, they will help your pedal feel once the brakes warm up compared to the stock pads. And they offer plenty of cold grip IMO. Again, you won't be going all that fast, but you will make about 15 120-40 stops and several smaller brake adjustments in 25 minutes. Having said this, you don't want to be worrying about this too much on your first day. If you will swap them in, do it at least a week before the event and drive around with them (I normally don't take them out at all). Don't do it the day before. Cheers.

MTROIS, Monsta,
I'll probably drive out there in the morning, and arrive around 7:30. Whoever gets there first should reserve space for 3 cars so we can park and hang out together. LRP does not have garages. It's just a parking lot, which is kind of annoying in the rain. Just park anywhere on the lot, but not on grass! Also, bring water and a sandwich. Nearest gas station is about 6-7 miles away, so full tank would be good unless you want to pay $7/gallon. See you guys on Friday!

Lucid,
I will be staying at an Inn near the track so I should be there on time to reserve some space for us! I hope Monsta will make it because based on the phone discussion we had today it does not look like he was really prepared....

I'm thinking about taking them off but not solely for b/c of this day, if no other org is going to let me drive with them b/c of tints then off they go or I'll get lighter, I gotta look into the rules of other orgs, function > looks, I rather enjoy my car by driving it then have it look good to & be a poser...I emailed the chief of tech my pictures over casted day isn't helping though, I had to email them by 12noon today before he heads out to CT if he doesn't get back to me I'm pulling the plug on my day. No way I'm heading up there with no reassurance that I will be let onto the track. I got my car all packed up ready to go too

Monsta,
Any way you can remove the tint?? That would really suck, and I am quite sure that other groups would have a similar rule. Anyhow, keep us posted. As for me, I am all packed and ready to go... hope the weather will be on our side tomorrow.

I just swapped in the pads in the parking lot at work! I'll take the back seat out and load the tires up shortly, and will be ready to go!
Good luck with the tint Monsta. Sorry you can't make it tallycoolies.

well I regret to inform you all that I will not be attending tomorrow b/c of my tints...I will get it corrected just not going to jump into my back seat and try prying it off...sucks big time had I known this before I may have never gone ahead w/ tinting it...
I may shoot up there in the early after noon just to check you guys running a little but not sure yet, I've been really busy at work & working tomorrow will benefit me more (did I just say that ) Dave, sorry about your hand heal up quickly, don't you have tints too? They are going to issue me a credit towards another event if I correct the tint

I've done my track days with PDA only, and they care less about my 20% tint. However, I remember one instructor telling me about BMWCCA events, and how they are so fuss about things like tint, mods and etc. Shame that u cant make it Bill!! I was at LRP with tinted windows and it was raining, had no issues. You have all ur windows open anyway cant really see why they dont allow those.
