I was there today for about 2 hours. I didn't see as many BMW's as I thought I would. But here's a few I took:

(question...does the red tones on the red car look weird? I was experimenting with photoshop color balancing)

Scotty, you may have been asked this before, but what is your "custom heel-toe mod?" Sorry this is off topic.
On topic, what great cars and photos.

See this thread with pics. I have since changed it a bit. The core issue is that not all E36 brake pedals sit at the same height. Depending on the height of your brake pedal and your exact techniques, this mod may or may not help.

Thanks a lot Scotty, as you (and others) mention in the thread, I've always felt heel and toeing during hard braking is difficult with the gas pedal being "behind" my foot. I might try this. Thanks again.

I will be out there for the ACA day.

Some fun shots I have taken over the years is a wide angle pan at the inside of the track at turn 1 (low success rate - but the good ones are really cool) (oops - just saw you found that spot w/E24 photo), then also from the inside of the track looking out at turn 6 with a longer lens.
