Hey man, thanks for coming out today! Nice to meet you and your family.

Let me know whenever you do anything like this. I am always down to meet up. If you ever get bored and just wanna go do something, just let me know.

Yeah, in the parking lot. And it was the most fun I've had in my car. I've got a lot to learn about driving. It is easy to understand what to do, and hard to actually pull it off . I did drop my times about a second on every one so I did get better. Btw, I did this in my e36, not my e90.

nice! do you just set up cones and go to work or do you have to have a permit?

dAng! E90 · 02-26-2012, 08:11 AM

SCCA sets up cones, you go through them as fast as you can. They have timing gear set up so you can see how fast you did it.

what if you gain permission from the owner of a private parking lot?

I was asking these same questions and determined I would just do my practice at the SCCA events as I don't have timing gear or permission to do this in any vacant lots.
