I had a blast! I was too aggressive the first lap out, but I managed to keep it on track. I'm glad I finally made it out there!

I borrowed Jerry's video camera and I'll try to load 1 or 2 laps someplace on-line. My internet connection sucks, but I'll see what I can do.

Jerry will call you tomorrow to give you the video... Have a great time back in the States and see you when you get back...

Sounds good!

Unfortunately, my TDY was cancelled

I had some leave planned while I was over thee too, oh well. But this means I'll be here for the Bit track days

Hopefully the weather will hold up, I'd like to run the Z4 on the autocross.

Thanks for making the video Jerry! BTW, the 4th lap is on there and I think I made it in under 11 minutes. I guess it depends on how you time it since we have to slow down before the starting point.

Sounds good. No problem making the video. Glad you enjoyed it.

You always time from bridge (at the beginning) to the gantry (at the end).

OK, from those points it was 9 min. 44 sec. I can't wait to get more experience, but I'm also afraid of getting too aggressive!
