Sounds interesting...

Thing with the Ridge is that the drive up there is a PITA... like 2 hour drive but the track is nice but in March is hit or miss with rain probably why it's $195

Did the SCCA track night in America last year at the Ridge. Fantastic, awesome track. Worth the 2 hours drive. Having xDrive makes huge difference in rain, get to know how your car reacts in wet is fun.

This year, SCCA will be hosting in both The Ridge and Pacific Raceway..I think starts in May till September. I will post information once they are available.

Ah ok... Well watch the front tires cause the tire shoulders will have a rough time specially if its dry
Only thing you can do is keep the front tire pressure up if you have no extra camber... i would start at 38-40 cold in the front to prevent the tire from rolling over

take a picture of the front right tire sholder before and after so you can compare

Also what group did you run on? A B C?

If you want some constructive advice, try not shuffling your hands on the steering, they should be glued to the 9-3 position during the whole lap. You will notice it will feel so much better and you will be much more consistent

It was good. Weather held up nicely. Got some understeer, will try running higher psi in front (was at 40-41 hot).

yeah... is the last picture the front right? that looks pretty usual for the stock camber... rolled over some...

unless you get some camber the front won't last long if you do it often.... if you go again at least rotate both the front tires so that next time the left tire will get even wear... else the front right will be corded much sooner than the left but you might have to replace both if the new and old are not close enough in wear
