My father and I did a track day in early November where it was suppose to be his pantera and the M coupe. Well I ended up not being able to take the bimmer and I drove his car all day. Wow! is all I can say with that car on the track. However we did have a small engine fire! The distributor arced with the bulkhead and ignited, along with quite a bit of oil that had been blown out of the breathers after doing a few high rev passes down the long straight. I have go-pro footage of my reaction as I look in the rear view mirror and downshift at the end of the straight and see flames, and not from the exhaust. However i had an extinguisher so I put it out immediately and only smoked out the distributor.

But I'm ready to go back in early spring with both cars and have a little better time!
