Default My day at GIR

So I went out with the local BMW Club on Nov 1 & 2 at Gateway Int'l Raceway. Had a great time, no car issues whatsoever, track was pretty nice, going around part of the oval was pretty cool. There were a lot of BMW's out there, but there was also a good mixture of other cars out there. The first day my instructor was Monte a really nice guy from KY who owns a 97 ITR that is completely stock, has about 120k miles. The second day I was bumped up to group 3 and had a gentleman named Jim who showed me some different lines on a few corners. I also met up with Mark (mstewar) down there, he took me for a ride in the tri-colored R he's been putting back together. Anyway, on to the pics:













Point bye, thank you!!

A bad *** BMW that was sooooo fast



Turbo'd Elise, thing was super quick



Cobra R

And for fun, the kiddos, they're getting so big so fast....

Oh ya, I think he keeps the R on the down low, he doesn't frequent forums or anything, but it was in really nice shape. Abbie is a little over 3 months and Luc is 3
