Thanks, and I appreciate the information. One guy told me they sell roof rails I can buy and tow my wheels to events. I thought that's a pretty cool idea and I think my floor jack would fit nicely in the back with the handle off.

I just had the coilovers installed and I thought about the geometry and wondered if I should get the dog bones and improve the sways. I'm not really looking at heavy track use, although I can't wait to do the auto-cross, then go back to Harris Hill so who knows I probably will.

Regarding solo, I actually got to do that Saturday, although it wasn't a "race" or so they said during the driver's meeting. But, once I got into my group I quickly learned I wanted to keep up. A few times around the track and seeing where they had the cones positioned I started to figure the line out. Of course, having an experienced lead who was also driving a Carrera gave me the confidence to push it whereas I doubted I would have on my own. Having said this, the group I was in was NO WHERE NEAR what the first three groups were doing. Nonetheless it was SO MUCH FUN and I drove away with my car intact, no damage, and having learned a lot about the car's handling and improving overall my driving capabilities (for an old guy).

On my M3 I ran UUC's adjustable rear control arms and camber plates up front, along with a beefier set of f/r sways with KWV2 coil overs. I really liked the adjustability of that setup. I'm going to upgrade the rest of the suspension if for nothing else to get good geometry on the setup.
