I havent yet...but i have a 1975 BMW that is built up and i plan on attending some Driving events once i finish the restoration. I really wanna drive Lime Rock Park and Watkins Glen.
I get too many tickets on the street, so i need a place to drive my car where i wont get into trouble

its pretty wild, you should try it sometime. I don't know around you but up in Elkheart lake Wisconsin, Road America has a BMW event, you should look into that

Wisconsin would be quite the trip for me. I live on the Eastern end of Long Island.

Charlotte, mid-Ohio, Summit Point, Watkins Glen.. I used to race SCCA ITb, ITc, and GTU classes, but now I pretty much stick to drag strips in Trophy and lower NHRA classes.

ran those classes with a datsun 510.
lowered, caged, gutted, fire suppression, etc.. belonged to a team in northern Va at the time.
ran the 280ZX I had at the time but only a few times.. that one was mostly jus for street/daily driving.
use the charger on the strips.

I love 510's!!! Those are awesome little cars! Very competitive with the bmw 2002 of the same era
.
My bmw is slowly turning into a track rat. Lowered, engine mods (i think i have too many to run in ITb or ITc...not sure). Im slowly gutting it and plan on doing a cage after my restoration.
You should've never gotten into drag racing glass...you know what they say, drag racing is for ppl with short attention spans.
Just playin, i like drag racing...just not top fuel. Those are stupid IMO. Glad to hear you once drove a little car as well. You wouldnt happen to have any pics of the five and dime or the 280z...would ya? I'd love to see them.

I used to race in the PCA events back in the early 90's with a 1974 Porsche 914-6 conversion. Also ran a few autocrosses back in 90 with a Porsche 944 Turbo. I plan on buying a date car in about 10-12 months, possibly a 930 Slant nose or a BMW M coupe. Not the 3 series coupe, but the funky little Z3 based M coupe. 2001 model.
No clue if there are plans for a system in either.
