Roebling Road Bound

One of the benefits of using the M2 as a daily driving track car is the amount of stuff you can load into for a weekend trip. This weekend I headed from Atlanta to Savannah to participate in the Peachtree Chapter of the BMW CCA’s driving school at Roebling Road Raceway. This was the first track weekend that was far enough from home to warrant driving on my OEM wheels/tires and switching to my track wheels/tires after arrival.

I managed to get my 18” wheels with track tires to stack in my backseat for the trip down to Savannah

This did require a bit of a change in my normal seat position and since I will be doing this often, I set the 2nd memory function to tire carrying mode. In addition to the tires, all my tools and racing gear fit “nicely” (read those as air quotes) in the trunk. My cooler and my luggage road shotgun in the front seat.

I had one person at the track who saw my OEM wheels stacked up beside my car in the paddock ask, “did you bring those with you in your car?” And another person suggested that I needed a small two wheel trailer for all this stuff.

I have some personal pride in being able to maintain my car in 1/2 of my small two car garage and get to the track without the need for a trailer. The later then requires a vehicle to pull the trailer and I am happy with my current situation.

When I make it to the club racing level, then it will be time for the truck and trailer, until then I  will stick with the status quo.
