Well Saturday was the best weather day out of the weekend. The family piled in both cars (the E21 and the minvan). Guys in the E21 and girls in the van. We were late, so we booked it down 14 South and passed a yellow Alpha Romeo that was pretty ticked with us. Oh well, gotta get to the track on time!
We got to the track, signed in and waited and waited until our turn on the track. The 323i was the only E21 represented at the track. Shauer had thermostat issues and couldn't make it at the last minute. While waiting I got several comments on the E21 from, "hey, my dad used to have one of those" to "man, I haven't seen one of those before". Don't really know how to take that, but I took it positively and next thing I know, we're strapping in and proceeding onto the track. I was nearly last in line, so far away from the pace car.
Everyone behaved very well and taking a few laps on a road track is certainly interesting. I had some good company: a silver 2006 M5 and a late model Mustang in back. We managed to get up to some respectable speeds, but never passed. That's a BIG no-no here. The entire team was along for the ride and did really well. Wait until next year. I hope the twins can get on the track. It would be a blast to have 2 323i's on the track.
