Track day was well worth the $250. I know my car is fast, but I have never drove my car this hard ever... Ended up going through two tanks of e85 and 5 gal of methanol.

I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to see what their car is really capable of doing.

I know you M3 junkies won't like this, but I smoked a few tuned M3's today...

I'll post up a few pictures once I get them.

I've done HPDE with BMW ACA Portland once last summer and again this summer. It's great fun, but I wanted to know if there was anything more going on at the BMWCCA HPDE. What was the schedule like and was there anything besides driving around the track? I thought there might be since it's with Hooked on Driving.

They broke it up into three groups, A - Beginners, B - Intermediate, C - Expert classes. From start to finish we were busy. I was in the A group and each driver was assigned a driving coach, some better than others, lucky for me I got a good coach. We had two 20 min track sessions in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. I soloed my last session as my driving coach said I was ready to go out solo. Have to say it was the most fun I have ever had with my car, ever. Went through two tanks of e85, 5 gal of meth, and 1 quart of oil. I doubt I have any carbon left of my valves.
