So I went to ButtonWillow today... snapped a few pics, thought you wouldn't mind seeing some track stuff. Nothing intense(photo-wise) but still cool, I think.
Video will come also.

It was the first time taking The Coupe to the track(in my hands) and the first time for being at ButtonWillow in probably 4-5 years, but I was only a passenger back then. Also, we ran Race#1 Config. counter clockwise. I learned it pretty well by my 3rd session, and set some pretty respectable times. I did a 2:21:04, woot woot. Not bad for semi-acceptable street tires, and everything else totally stock.
I haven't tracked really hard since about a year and a half ago, so this definitely got me in the mood for: A LOT MORE TRACK TIME, to say the least. If anything... this motivates me to get my ass in gear for my last 1.5 years of Film School and get a damn good job! Plus my dad was an SCCA/BMWCCA instructor, so I must try to succeed in some way or another through those clubs.

btw, any of you BMWCCA guys run with SpeedVentures or OpenTrackRacing? Would be cool to see some of your brilliant machines at work. There was just 1 CCA car there, C-mod, and it was damn fast.
