My E30’s first track day went way better than I expected.
. TNiA is a series of track day events held throughout the year across the country by the SCCA, offering beginners and veterans alike a relatively affordable way to get themselves and their cars onto a road course. Unlike a normal track day, Track Nights in America start later in the day, and only contain three 20-minute sessions . Not only do I not have to wake up super early, but I also put less strain on my car—perfect for its first time out.
I signed up for the event at New Jersey Motorsports Park in mid-July. Not only would this be a test of whether my 318i could hold up on track, but it would also be the farthest distance I’ve driven with the car so far . Somehow, nothing went wrong.The drive down to southern Jersey went off without a hitch, as did the track day itself. Despite the obscenely high temperatures, constant trips to redline, and high g-loads, the little E30 that could didn’t exhibit any issues.
A few days later I took a trip to Pocono Raceway for the NASCAR race—another pretty long drive—where the E30 once again did well.... While the drive there and back didn’t present any issues, the car will now show a check engine light at idle, but it’ll go away anytime I touch the throttle. It also, at times, fails to idle correctly, with the rpms falling to around 400 before the car tries to stall itself. I’m thinking this could be a new vacuum leak.
Also on my list of things to fix are the rear shocks. I mentioned them earlier but wasn’t able to tackle the job before the track day because I didn’t have the top hats. But now I do, so those will be the first thing to go in. Additionally, I want to see if I can get the air conditioning working. It’s been hot as hell here in New York lately, and I know the system holds pressure. But the compressor makes a horrible noise when I turn it on.
