I’m supposed to be at the Ring mid-June, but haven’t confirmed yet so I have flexibility. Would be fun if we could line something up!

Here is my US track toy - KW clubsport (about to upgrade to Nitron actually), light aero, and a few other goodies. It’s currently getting upgraded to include buckets and a half cage. Also working to be one of the early US cars with full Schirmer kinematics as we speak. It’ll be capable, but not to the level of your Schirmer GT.
E36’s are quick, they carry speed. My e92 is stripped but there are still e36’s over a quarter tonne (500lb) lighter.

Will you be making then subframe/spindle/pickup point mods to go with the big kinematics kit?

E36's are great momentum cars for sure! I find my self catching up with much "faster" cars in the windier bits of the track. that said, the M50 motor only makes something like 190hp, so I am lucky to squeeze out 180kph when going flat out hahaha

Yes, I'll have to make some mods to make the kinematics work in the rear. Trying tow rap my head around it now, as I'm thinking of going with a true-coilover rear when I upgrade to Nitrons, so it would be good to handle much of that at the same time.
