Car Tender Challenge

Sprint race

“I’m just keeping my license current” is a terrible reason to go racing…

Rose City Opener XXII

Posted on 28 April 20136 May 2021 By Steve
Sprint race

Not quite the first time out with the new car, having done a Test ‘n’ Tune the prior September, but the first where I’d really be pushing myself. Of course, it’d also be my first chance at competition in almost two years and, just to add another dimension, my first time racing at Portland without … Read More “Rose City Opener XXII” »

Jim Swanson Memorial XI

Posted on 19 August 20076 May 2021 By Steve
Sprint race

A trouble-free week-end in Seattle a couple weeks earlier had me confident of finally having a good outing at Portland with the M3… but I’d felt that way before. A strangely-rare opportunity to race against Lou Greenberg’s 1995 M3 (essentially the same engine/intake/exhaust modifications as me, but still with the original body panels) had me … Read More “Jim Swanson Memorial XI” »

Car Tender Challenge

Posted on 5 August 20076 May 2021 By Steve
Sprint race

Although the car’s issues were dealt with shortly after the May race in Portland, work obligations kept me from June’s race in Portland as well as the double week-end (plus special BMW-only race) in Spokane. Having decided that enough was enough, I quit my job to have more time for racing. (I’m kidding. Mostly.) My … Read More “Car Tender Challenge” »

Rose City Opener XVI

Posted on 6 May 20076 May 2021 By Steve
Sprint race

After the teething problems (and other, uh, “episodes“) that kept me from racing much last year, and especially after the enduro earlier this year, I was rarin’ to go racing with the M3. Unfortunately, and despite a decent end-of-year race in 2006 and an awesome day with the BMW Club in February, there was more … Read More “Rose City Opener XVI” »

2006 Final Dash

Posted on 1 October 20066 May 2021 By Steve
Sprint race

As was somewhat expected, the first race outing for the car resulted in several problems. What wasn’t expected was that the problems would be both numerous enough and severe enough for me to decide to pack it in and head home before the racing had even started. With those issues apparently resolved and the final … Read More “2006 Final Dash” »

Jim Swanson Memorial X

Posted on 10 September 20066 May 2021 By Steve
Sprint race

Not counting three enduros in someone else’s car, I haven’t raced in two years. Obviously, this wouldn’t have done anything beneficial as far as my racing skills are concerned, but running a new car meant there was always going to be an element of “rebuilding” this season. Having said that, being forced to wait for … Read More “Jim Swanson Memorial X” »

Doernbecher Dash XX

Posted on 26 September 20046 May 2021 By Steve
Sprint race

Having run just three race week-ends by the end of September, and with only two races to go, it was pretty clear there was no way I could even qualify for either the CP or RS championships. Since those last two races were only a week apart and I just didn’t feel like I had … Read More “Doernbecher Dash XX” »

Hot August Days 3

Posted on 8 August 20046 May 2021 By Steve
Sprint race

I wasn’t able to attend the double race week-end in Spokane in July, so this was my first race in two months. Also, for one reason or another, it was the first chance I’d had to really run at my home track (which was turning into less of one all the time, I’ve been running … Read More “Hot August Days 3” »

Chicane Challenge XII

Posted on 6 June 20046 May 2021 By Steve
Sprint race

After missing one of only three races at my home track (grr…), my second race week-end of the year was a whole month after the first. It was also the one-year anniversary of my first race, but I expected to do a little better than that (<ahem>). I was also looking forward to trying out … Read More “Chicane Challenge XII” »
