BMWCCA @Watkins Glen

taibanl · 11-03-2012, 12:46 PM

Guys, This is a bit overdue but wanted to share the experience, I took the 335d to the Glen this past spring and had about the most fun you can possibly have with your pants on. Highly, Highly recommended!

I'll spare you the pic by pic commentary...

Special thanks to:

Andre
Andrew (thanks for the 1M ride!)
JB Mike
Botond & Jamal
Will Z (instructor)
Patroon BMW CCA
anyone else I forgot...

BTW 335d does GREAT at the track...a little anemic in the backstretch but GREAT GREAT GREAT coming up hills and out of turns. My friends thought it was funny how all the high-revving gassers went screaming by, and the D just seemed to fly by without a sound...would've made a great commercial!

Starting off with the Tech inspection...and everyone feverishly working on their cars.

Andrew's gorgeous 1M...Which I got to ride around the track. This thing is a BEAST...felt like playing Super Mario Kart and getting a star!
