Does anybody know if SNAIL replays that I've uploaded in the past are still accessible if I delete them from my saved replays?
 
FIA Nation's - Redbull Ring


I am sharing my latest FIA broadcast here because I did a fine job using all of the GT racing techniques I have learned over the years, from snail and else where. In the race I did not prepare for, I set a decent example of how to coach yourself to a good result from nothing.

During qualifying I explained how to quickly learn a combo you have never driven by choosing brake points early and gears efficiently, on the fly. Then I ran a humble and exciting race with 9 careful overtakes. In the second race @1:22:21, I used everything I had just learned and turned it all into a battle for the lead against a couple World Class rivals.

This past week I made an important purchase. After months of searching I came across a reasonably priced 2001 BMW 330ci, being auctioned off from a salvage yard within driving distance from my home in Connecticut. I decided to go and inspect the car in person and found the damage was minimal. The car started up and ran smoothly first try. All missing parts were included in the trunk except the radiator; and with the help of a friend we determined the car must have hit a parking curb at low speed and been totaled by insurance due only to radiator/expansion tank damage.

Once I realized the car was overall very clean and had no significant rust or damage to anywhere on the body or underneath, my mind was made up to try and win the bid. I need to replace a few parts like the battery and radiator before an inspection for a rebuilt title at the DMV, but I think the car will turn out to be a great vehicle for me to learn with and enjoy on track in a few months time. The journey I take with this car will be fully documented on YouTube, so stay tuned if you’d like to see where the BMW takes me. I hope you all enjoy the new car tribute prize combo!

Super sweet car in all respects Mike!
When you get the salvage title, will it be a track car only or are you hoping for a daily driver also?

I reviewed 1 incident.

After the inspection for the rebuilt title, the BMW will essentially be a second daily driver to share miles with the Yaris. It will
be registered and insured. I don’t think the car will see the track too much until next year, but over time it will become a dedicated track vehicle like my friend’s car.

Pulled my 49” Samsung down to update my TV stand. I changed the feet to 2’ lengths ipo 3’ and put three 25” frames into the stand (that account for the width).
If you’re interested in this DIY, cost from McMaster Carr is $152.60 plus shipping (around $30). Peculiar that they won’t tell you what the shipping will be (before or after the order.) Here’s the minimum you’ll need:
- 4’ 30mm t-slot framing x2
- 2’ 30mm t-slot framing x5
- 90 degree surface bracket x2
- corner bracket for 30mm high single rail x2 (I drilled out [larger] 1 of the 2 holes to hold the TV by its top VESA mounts)
- corner concealed bracket for 30mm x6
- end cap for 30mm frame x6
