Im very interested in getting into some kind of track racing. Ive been following 318Ti.org for a long time now and has inspired me into buliding my MTi in california of all places.lol. im really looking for a place to test my configurations and see what it can really do. Also Maybe an E36 club in area have tried to start one where i live (Napa Ca) but all e36 owners are never too serious, cant see why but w/e. Also id like to give my respect to all Ti owners many people may think there the baby of bimmers but when you blow the doors off em' they got nothing to say  |  |  | | 04-06-2010, 05:08 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |
Hey... We have 3 other swapped ti's here in the area (Vallejo, Fairfield, Martinez)... would really like to do some organized gathering/club.
There is plenty of AutoX happening in the area and Drag nights at Infinion raceway, too.
We have a small group of bimmer folk who meet in Benicia every other week, come on down! __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

 Well its fun, if not economical... Did you use the SCCA GCR to build it? Best advice I ever got around a race track.... "If you can't just set it on fire and walk away its too valuable to race." Extreme,,, but true... Dave __________________

Hah very true (pdx motörhead) but my car is a 80% m3 swap and it's all scavenged parts I'm into my car a little over 6000 so if it did set a flame I would run away lol and build it again... It's a labor of love..! (wolferj) I should be there more than likely... Is there many people that go..? | | | | | 04-13-2010, 03:38 AM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |
It's not a huge gathering, we are just starting up after a winter break, so it's usually just a handful... I'll drop a note to Kilijan (another swap guy) who is in Fairfield to see if he can come, and hound Yoda to see if he'll cruise up... Never got more than 3 of us together at one time so far, it might cause a rift in the space-time continuum if we got more than that! __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.
