I have a 93 Z28 A4 putting down 348 RWHP / 345 RWTQ and 4.10 gears.
I also own a bone stock '99 BMW 328i, but I doubt I will be racing it. (daily driver) I have literally no road racing experience, not even as a spectator. I am thinking of participating in an upcoming event (MFBA) at Road America. The suspension mods on the car are as follows: SLP Eibach/Bilstein shocks/springs Front/rear ES sway bar endlinks front hollow strano bar ls1 brakes (stock pads and rotors right now but they have minimum wear) I installed new tie rod ends and balljoints engine and tranny mounts are ES polyurethane will be getting Nitto RIIs very shortly I was going to convert the car to a T56, but that might not be happening for a while. Are there a lot of people racing autos with good results? Any recommendations for the first time on the track? Should I add anything (modifications) else? Thanks! |

We are glad to here that you are interested in the MFBA Road America Event. We do have multiple classes, so beginners will not be intimidated by the more advanced.
