MartinD Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Hey guys, Trying to help sell this for a close friend. If you know anyone that may be interested please inquire: [email protected] Doc Hill’s Special 525 / M3 HPDE Track and Street Legal Asking...$15,000 Besides being acceptable as a “daily driver”, this is an excellent HPDE car.

von_zoom Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Here are two photos of the engine. Sorry they were not included with the above. FYI, I will be at VIR for the Tarheel event, and if anyone interested is there, please look me up and I will be happy to take you for a ride. Many photos are available - please feel free to pm or email me at [email protected] vz http:// http:// Quote
von_zoom Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Several have request additional photos, thus are here. Anyone who is interested, and will be at VIR, please let me know and I will see if I can be there so you can see the car, and perhaps let me take you around the track. pm or email at [email protected] vz http:// http:// http:// http:// Quote
brkntrxn Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 As if it matters, I will vouche for Doc and his car. He has run quite a few events that I worked (THSCC, Asphalt Ventures, etc.). Great guy! -Kevin Quote
von_zoom Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Thanks Kevin. The car will make a good entry into HPDE for a new driver, quick, but forgiving to drive, and can easily double as a DD. It was built by Ray Korman as his personal car, and has been featured in BMW magazines. As with Ray, it has a lot history behind it. Hope to see you at VIR soon. I have a full schedule ahead of me, so will be busy at VIR. A photo (Oak Tree) from VIR years past. Note air under right tires, but very little lean under weight transfer. vz http:// Quote
