Another month after our last laps here at MSR Cresson, our 1995 M3 is finaly getting sorted and we are dialing in the setup. This time we had adjusted the RTD shifter properly so we could use 2nd gear in a couple of places, which helped corner exit acceleration greatly. We picked up 15 mph from track test #4, when we had "run out of fuel system" and had to shift at 5500 rpm (now shifting at 7000)

Amy went out earlier and had a fender liner catch on one of the 315mm front tires, and she came in after hearing this awful noise. We fixed that, added fuel, and Terry went out in the next session - with a plan to take 4-5 laps then hand off to Amy in the hot pits, which we did. 

Terry was still getting used to the M3 on track - like not being broken for once! - and was starting to push the car harder when he ran a new personal best by 1.1 sec over previous events here with this 1:21.07 best on lap 2. Traffic and time constraints kept him from chasing that elusive 1:20.X lap! Lots of potential time left as it is, but we're finally out-driving the $35 RockAuto brake pads. We need to address that.

As soon as Terry came in and swapped driver duties with Amy, she ran into yet another noise (hey, its a 30 year old car) on lap 2 and came in. Sounds like a broken CV joint inside a rear axle? We'll get it back to the shop and fire up the Money Gun to fix that next! Thanks for watching.
