Intro to Blackhawk Farms with RevMatch in SpecE46
Sign Up for a Track Day: https://RevMatchRacing.org
This video is intended to demonstrate how I familiarize myself with a new racetrack and find a good driving line. The first thing to familiarize yourself with are the flag station locations. Then, learn the track at a slow pace and gradually add speed while maintaining the driving line, making small changes to the line as needed.

The car has now been dropped off for the roll cage install so we can take another weight measurement.

Buttonwillow Sub 2:10 Lap 90% Spec E46 BMW 330i
Tried to get a sub 2:05 Lap but just wasn't there for me this day. Overall the day started with me feeling off my game, but luckily was happy enough with my time by the end of the third session.

2004 BMW RainX Wiper Blade Install
How to replace your windshield wiper blades. It’s easy! These are the Rain-X Latitude wipers on my 2004 BMW 330i
I believe I used one 22” blade and one 19” blade but this may vary based on make and model.

ThunderHill West Sub 1:30 (1:27.954) SpecE46 (no 3.46 LSD)
Very happy with this lap time, I think this was the first event with the new brake pads and rotors. What a difference they make!
The SpecE46 is about 90% there with the main modifications needed being the 3.46 limited slip differential, some more weight reduction, the official engine tune, and exhaust. Could also use an additional fuel pump to avoid fuel starvation around right hand turns.
Near the end I said “almost” because I thought I hadn’t broken the 1:28 mark but the transponder timing showed 1:27.954
Started off the day wondering if I could manage a 1:29

Track Day Flag Meanings with RevMatch
Most race tracks use at least these 8 flags and you need to know what they mean before you go on track.
Some tracks have more flags you will need to know the meaning of. Don't miss your morning meeting the day of your event!

Thunderhill East 2:09 SpecE46 (90% built)
Here’s my fastest time in my 2004 BMW 330i SpecE46. The only parts I need to complete the build is some weight reduction (car was at 3243 lbs with driver), limited slip differential, engine rebuild (currently 120k miles on stock engine), spec engine tune, exhaust, and transmission mounts.
Happy with my sub 2:10 time. The track was a bit cold after the rain earlier in the day.

10:17 Summary
Tips:
It's not shown in the video but I put two washers under the adapter plates on each side since the original bolts stick up too high without them for the seat mount brackets.
Don't over-tighten bolts on the seat to the bracket
The Sparco harness gives you a lot of slack, try to get the top of the Sparco shoulder logos close to the seat harness loops and work from there. I readjusted several times which can be annoying but worth the time to get it right.
Ordered from https://CompetitonMotorsport.com

From AutoX to Racecar Driving - My Journey So Far
This is my very condensed journey from playing racing games as a kid, then starting to Autocross with the Illini Auto Club in my Miata to driving in the competitive wheel-to-wheel racing series of Spec Miata. Thank you to all of the great people I've met and to the ones who have helped me along the way so far.
I will share more soon!

Time Lapse: California to Chicago
In April I decided to make the move from San Jose to the Chicago suburbs. In May I began the journey.
I highly recommend the Badlands National Park among the rest of the stops I included. You never know when you’ll be back in the area, so make the most of it and stop while you can!
