Lone Star Chapter HPDE 4/30-5/1
Hey all -
I just did my first high performance DE event through the Lone Star Chapter of the BMW CCA. The event was held at MotorSport Ranch in Cresson, TX. We used the 1.7 mile circuit, counter-clockwise. This was my first time ever on a track, and I showed up with my daily driver setup. I'm driving an '07 E92 335i that didn't come with the factory oil cooler. Track temps on the first day were quite hot, but I only managed to hit limp mode on my last track session toward the very end - I pulled off with about 2 laps remaining. Otherwise, the car was strong. My Hankooks held up great on the first day, but we had rain on day 2 and I really struggled on the wet. Anyway, it was a great experience. It definitely won't be my last time on a track. Here are some photos and videos from the weekend. You might notice my GoPro mounted on the front...it gave some wicked views Here are some of my day 1 highlights: Here's a side-by-side I put together from day 2. The rain had dried a little for this run, but all the rest of our runs on day 2 were super slick!

Cool videos! What was your resolution setting on the gopro? Also, how did you mount the in-car view? The side by side provided good perspective.. I use iMovie on the Mac and it's so slow in processing the videos!!
Your audio was also cleaner, did you edit the sound or used the waterproof cover? |

I was using the fully enclosed case the whole weekend, inside and outside the car, and it seemed to still get pretty decent audio.

r5?? wow! you must have a huge memory card to accomodate the videos. Uploading to youtube must take forever!!
Yeah, will try the closed lid, I'm surprised it picks up good audio despite the watertight case! |
