I raced my M3 at the Elkhart Lake Vintage Festival last month. 2.5 liters against some VERY serious competition on one of the fastest tracks in the US. The little lady held her own until . . .

Road America is in our backyard, and this is an event my wife and I often attend. I am so sorry we missed you this year. We really have been limiting our outings, but thanks for posting the great video. Second best to actually being there. Sorry about the transmission, hope it gets resolved swiftly.

Jim has had a chance to diagnose the failure and found that the fork that connects the shifter to the rod on the back of the transmission broke and fell down on the driveshaft and broke the guibo and output flange. Nothing internal was hurt, fortunately.
