He's stationed in Germany - he was here for a month (March) doing training, joined the forum, and even came to the club's meet. :thumbsup2:

Sickness!!!!

Russ looks awesome. I'm jealous. I'll have to be content racing the Nordschleife on GTR until I can afford a trip to Germany. :)

Are you back home?

Russ, is this the car you were telling about that you drove a little too hard one day on the Nurburgring?

Looks pretty good now:beer:

Russ,

Nice, purpose built machine you've got going there. I'm sure that has got to be a blast to drive on the Nordschleife!:thumbsup2:

[RaceMX-M3]

Russ, please post some in car video the next time you go to the track.

You bet I will! We are going to set-up the car on Hockenheim for a day before I take it to the Ring. Hockenheim provides a lot more room if I go off.

nice car man :thumbsup2:

[AlexSmith]

Nice build up. Love those wheels.

Thanks everyone. The car is together and the next step is to set-up the car and some more coaching. Ralf Kelleners (http://www.ralfkelleners.com/) will join me with tuning support from Klaus-Peter Becker--the best race shop I have found here in Germany. (http://cms.mini-clubsport.com/) I will be sure to take as much video as possible ;-)

[RussRamz]

So...

When are you guys (and gal) going to come and join me for a weekend at the 'ring?

This lap was the first of the day. At the end it was just getting faster and faster with minor adjustments to the car.

Russ, whatever happened to that monster ESS toy that wrecked on its way to the 'Ring the first time?

I'm not sure. I will make some inquiries and let you all know what I find.
