Another day. Can't wait to see the vid.
We had a total of four 20 minute sessions, this happened on the second of four. Third and fourth went without issue, so we still got a lot of time.

Glad no one was hurt.
Still a nice bimmer pic.
Thanks! Me too. He was blaming the car, it was new to him. Well if you're not used to it, don't drive it hard. My buddy said he almost lost it a few times before this one too, sounds like he was just a bad driver. Oh well.
I was complaining about the factory run flat tires on my car while we were out, got home and my wife told me.i should probably get a set of dedicated track tires. She's freakin awesome

Yeah here's the whole facility, today's track is the dropped pin. They are doing another event in March on the east track, might go back again if I can get some wheels and tires before then. Wifey was even talking about coming out to hang out for the whole day, today she was just there for an hour or so, and the session she came to see is the one we got flagged 2 laps in. Booooooooo. I got approval for next time to move up to the class where I can have a passenger, now I just gotta convince her to go for a ride with me

Mount a GoPro on the dash to see her reaction!
Here is my buddy with his wife in the car for the first time. He was going much slower than he normally would to keep her from wigging completely out!
Sorry, I don't know how to imbed a video...

Maybe Bondurant will let you use the Hell Cat or Demon that they had at Barrett Jackson

Yes, it worked, BbP. Nice job.
Gotta love the power coming out of those turns.
....& that hint of Anderson Cooper giggling was also amusing.

Thats how we roll in Oklahoma! Naw, someone was having fun.
And yes, the ride at BJ is pretty short. 15 seconds or so and it's over.

T550 you picking on me now. Yes it's that short. 3 turns and done but still fun. They get 100,000 people on that and just talk about it. Good advertising.
