Buttonwillow 13CW || E46 M3 || Shakedown Personal Best ||

New platform. New car. New powerband. Same track where things went south last time.
The B6ZE in the NA6 is no more. It lived a noble life of 31 years, starting off as a well-maintained commuter, and ending up as a track weapon that broke low HP Miata records throughout California. May it rest in peace. Some day the NA6 will house a BP4W and double its horsepower from its past form, but that day will come in due time.
In the meantime... I finally got myself a sub-2 machine. No sub 2 on this track day, and the excuses are plentiful, but I'm just honestly so happy to be back turning laps again after a hiatus that took my driving out for a few months.
Lap video starts at 3:32 if you want to skip ahead.

Sad to see the 'Yata temporarily sidelined but hope to see it back better than ever eventually! Nice lap, e46 looks like a blast, you planning to do Shootout this year again with that car?

Yep, already signed up for Buttonwillow in May! It's now called OnGrid Time Attack :)
