Track Day Pics-Chicago

A local dealer had an open house a few months ago and invited my local car club/forum to the event. Since the owner of the dealership ALSO owns a track, about 6-7 of my buddies won free track days that covered two full days, instructors, lunch, etc. My buddy brad took these pics over the weekend, sadly I could not attend. But everyone had a blast from what I heard and no major wipeouts. haha

Just copied pics from the first thread, more pics here.







































































































And more...

Playing with a sequence
















Big Thanks to Autobarn, and this guy, for making it happen

I was there synth! The guy in the Red M3 was my instructor! Anyone take pics of my black 335I? The only Z that passed me once I got better, was that red one, with 441whp!

I'll have to take a look and see if I can find pics of your black 335. The stockish looking Z had the most experience from what I heard, most of the other guys was their first time.

It was free for my guys, but I think normally around $200-$300. Plus all the extra stuff to track prep. Yes, autobahn country club. Man...

Gosh, I miss the tracking days. Seeing those pictures makes me want to get back into it once I get a new ride.

Thanks for sharing! Great pics.
