Hope you guys had fun! Wish I could have made it.

As for proving who is the best driver bit thats a load of crap

You want to prove who is the best driver, come to a few track days with me!

Karting is pretty removed from the real track. When you weigh +200lbs and some 120lb pencil neck blows by you up the hill on track 2 at the start, you realize while yes skill plays a part, weight plays a bigger one.

LMAO that's why if I can't use my Bowser-like Mariokart bumping skills, I don't bother racing! I get lapped by turn one!

I'd say we have the coolest (And probably most expensive) damn bridge in the USA now. I can't wait till it opens. I love flying down the access bridge you were shooting from.

We had just come from eating at Marche' Pickenmmov [sic] at Copley, and man the traffic was a joke on Storrow - it was all I could do to keep the driver from hammering it up the ramp in howling glee so I could get a decent shot!

F1 is sooooo lame , why would you want to go there?? Its a complete ripoff too , even though one of the owners is a member of Aerosmith . It was cool for the fist month, but then they got soo strict. They are so stuck on on there selves too. If you want to rent the track you better be on Dickys good side . The BMWCCA has meets there all the time . I think if you want to have a meet ,lets rent the old South Weymouth Naval Air Station and have a show or an Autocross. Dont forget about the Import Showcase Tour comming to Bayside Expo too!

rent an air field shit yeah i'm in!! we should start a thread see who else would be down!!!!

The Boston Chapter BMWCCA dose it every once in a while. I can maybe make some phone calls if eveyone was for it . Also at the Fairgrounds at Marshfield evey LaborDay weekend Sunday and MemorialDay weekend Sunday there are car shows (Spindles and Silver Lake auto club) there arn't too many BMWs , but we could change that.

I think the reaosn everyone lives F1 is honestly because there is a lounge to chill in, eat, drink, etc. while you're not racing. And I never race anyway, it's no fun for me because the kart just can't move my big tuckus at any decent rate of travel whatsoever

I think the Boston autoX league is running their next season at S. Weymouth NAS, so I know I am going to be there at least twice a month for those events, I am just trying to get them to setup a top speed run at the AutoX (So far I have been told "maybe")...because I would totally be down for that.
Hell, I would be totally down for whatever.

A top speed run would be awsome, but I don't know if they would want to assume the liability. For any driving event we would have there they would probably make us take out a huge umbrella insurence policy for the day. (Just guessing).

I'd love to see how fast my car could do a standing mile.
