Help - I'm working on my Oktoberfest registration - April
Roundel - but I'm having trouble remembering how many I attended,
starting in 1978.  I can remember 20+ years ago, but am having trouble
with more recent ones:

'78 - Milwaukee, WI #1
'79 - Boston, MA
'80 - San Diego, CA
'81 - Milwaukee, WI #2
'82 - Albany, NY
'83 - Colorado Springs, CO #1
'84 - Sturbridge, MA
'85 - Monterey, CA
'86 - Florida
'87 - Tulsa, OK
'88 - Rochester, NY
'89 -
'90 -
'91 -
'92 -
'93 -
'94 -
'95 -
'96 -
'97 - Waterville Valley, NH #1
'98 - Orlando, FL
'99 -
'00 -
'01 - Waterville Valley, NH #2 (?)
'02 -
'03 - Austin, TX
'04 - Colorado #4

When was the event held in:
Colorado #2
Colorado #3
Columbus, OH
Connecticut
Tysons Corner, VA
Andover, MA
Other ???

No, I didn't attend Boston, Monterey, Connecticut, and
Colorado #4.  I think that this year will be either # 22 or #23.
Many thanks,

00 was actually Greenville if it matters.  For tax reasons I believe, BMW
claims the plant is in Spartanburg but actually is located in Greer and
Ofest was held in downtown Greenville.

I run about 34-38 psi (winter temps can vary here from -20 to 40 F - that a 6 
psi variation right there!).  And, until this year, never had a bent wheel.

What tire pressures are you using?  Factory sticker pressures, "the lawyer's 
suspension", as described to me by a past BMWNA exec, do not give sufficient 
protection to the wheels.  I set 'Jack's 17"s to 40+ psi front/ 36+ rear.  May 
be a bit firm for some of you but the handling is better and I haven't bent a 
rim on a BMW in two decades as long as the tires pressures are high.

Barry
