BAH!


BTW Patrick and I have participated in track days on this track and while we have not "drifted" it we liberally used the go pedal especially during periods of light rain. It is a fantastic experience to be on a REAL track!

i think it could. its rated to 3500lbs if i remember correctly. i have never trailered anything and i would rather not be on the downside of it before even starting out.

The Colorado tows about 4000lbs so it's 500 more than the X5.
I think the X-Fizzle can do it as long as you tow smartly...

and if the wife allows.

I did the "Phill Wicks" driving school on this track and it was totally AWSOME!!!! And I did use the throttle to "turn" some of the corners that we (me I hope) will be drifting.

will there be a tire changer there, or will you need to bring spare rims with tires already mounted.

will there be any loaner helmates there? i have one but dont think it passes their requirements...

alright, well i'll squeeze my head into a medium need be, i just want to drift...never been on an actual course before and would really like to do this...main problem is i'm a little tight on money right now with just now moving down here to nashville and having trouble finding a job or i'd just go buy a sa approved helmet.
