did my first track day...........................!!!!

[That Nice Guy Beck!]

with my BMW 

I had so much friggin fun yesterday, went in with the novice class, we learned proper lines and looking thru the turns very similar to motorcycle riding.
first time out I went with my buddy in the passenger seat, should of went with teh instructor lol,I spun out on one of the turns!! that was scary to say the least.
second time out the instructor came with me and was telling me how to take the corners and how to brake etc etc, man by the end of the day I hit 145 on the straight
and was taking corners at 80 mph, what a rush it was, like sex but it never ended!
I was in elkhart lake wisconsin at road america, amazing track, lots of sick cars, m6's, m3's porsches, firebirds, mustangs ,vipers, nissan gtrs 
im doing 135 on teh straight I give the pass signal to a z06 and the fkin guy passed me like i was parked 

the bmw..

was unreal thank god for the germans, brakes never failed me through out the day, after being totally abused all day the turbos never got to hot, car ran 100% like a beast till the very end, even the instructor took my car for a few laps and the whole time he was just yelling out "this car is incredible wow" he said he's buying one lol
5 runs for the day with 2 class rooms $280 1 corvette hit the wall with a passenger they both went to the hospital I hope they are ok 

if anything it taught me alot about the track enviorment to prep me for when I decide to take a motorcycle track day with NESBA

all in all what a day had a blast, anyone run on a track??

Sounds like a fun day.

Beware...

As surely as cocaine leads to crack, track days lead to racing 

Good for you for actually taking your sports car out on a track and taking it to it's (and your) limits.

I think my second track day on my new (to me) track bike is going to be the NESBA date at RA. I love that place...

Do as I say , not as I do .....................SPEED KILLS !

Have you ever asked yourself where this will all lead you ?

If you want to be a Professional Driver , then I guess you are on the right track.

If you just need to go faster and faster and have the rushes be bigger and longer I see a missed corner or a wall in your future.

Speed and Adrenaline are as dangerous as smoking Pot , snorting Cocaine and finally going for the biggest and longest high...SMACK.

I love speed. I love to go fast , especially on curvy roads in the "hills."

If I keep it up I will end up dead.

If I was on a track I would eventually be that guy who misses a corner , or hits a wall ...because I've got to be 1st.

At least in the " hills " I'm only racing against myself.  Dolph

Huh?

At a trackday you are also only racing against yourself. There are also emergency services there in case anything does go wrong. There is also a clean surface without debris or distractions. It is an infinitely safer environment than in the "hills".

Nobody dies at tracks ?

Get real !

Professional Drivers and Riders die in single vehicle crashes at tracks.    Dolph

far smaller % than those who are being stupid on a public road.
