First Track day (w/pics)

007 and r4gs, it was great to meet you both at the track. I was the black M Coupe, car 327. The Tejas Chapter really put on a good event. The elevation change at H2R was thrilling, brought me out of my comfort zone of perfectly flat tracks in Houston. Great pic.s r4gs.

248 mph? You must be running jet fuel.

Mine is the silver one, "Z4 M". Shame the roadsters only got to do a 50mph "parade" lap (ok, we may have been doing 65, but don't tell anyone) because of BMW CCA rules. The event was really a lot of fun though.

Also, the 850i mentioned above is a Dinan car with twin turbos, ~525HP. He was having some real heat problems pushing it that hard for 25 minute sessions. That V12 puts off some serious heat as it is, let alone the 2 turbos.

^seriously gorgeous m roadster

nice contrast of *painted* genuine csl's and imola red against the tiag. i'm disappointed about having to pay for parade laps, let alone not allowing roadsters (which do have oem factory rollover protection) to participate. i was at the recent velocity adventures hpde (again as a spectator and photographer) and anyone was allowed on-track during the lunchbreak or at the conclusion of the event at any speeds for free.

Wow great track day! Pretty cool to see all the Z4 together. Definitely not something I usually see at a meet let alone a track day.
