As with most do-it-yourself projects, getting my car ready for a local BMW CCA track day seems like a simple affair. All I needed to do was check the brakes and flush the fluid. But as with most projects what should be simple always ends up taking a few more steps than you'd like, is more time consuming that you'd like or leaves you with a big mess.

Jacking up your car, the basic start to any project seems simple but you don't want to rush and have you car fall off the jack or damage your side skirts. BMW provides a great starting point with the stock jack locations, but they're precariously close to your side skirts and properly centering the jack is critical so you car doesn't fall off.

Reverse Logic solves these common problems with their simple, innovative, well built and cool looking jack pad tool. The tool pops into the stock jack pad location providing you with an easy and side skirt safe location to use your floor jack from. After a DIY project I leave it on my desk as a paper weight simply because it looks so cool!

With the Reverse Logic jack pad I was able to quickly get my car up in the air with the popular Craftsman racing jack, or with a deep saddle steel jack that I normally can't use because it would damage my side skirts. I then proceeded on with my track prep, which of course had other issues but at least the jacking up and down went smoothly!

I got the track just in time for tech and passed with flying colors and a complement on having flushed my fluid so recently (the day before). I had a good run with my new to me 2003 M3 and the new Nitto NT05 that I'll be posting a review of soon.

All in all it was a great day at the track and I was lucky enough to get a ride in Turner Motorsports new 2008 M3 with none other that Will Turner himself at the wheel! Power sliding at 100 MPH out of a turn is something to be experienced.
