There is an afternoon HPDE at autobahn country club held by local SCCA chapters in this coming saturday. Should definitely track GTS of yours

There's a full track day at Autobahn this coming Monday with MVP track time. $250 for six 20 minute sessions. I'll be out there with my e30 and 335i. I've run with this group before and it's a good group of guys.

Bummer. Get some miles on her and get her our there!

At the start of the season we put together a spreadsheet with most of the local track days at Blackhawk Farms and Autobahn. There are still a good chunk of track days left for the year...

From yesterday's SCCA PDX. Still learning

Great instructors, but too crowded in the novice groups (lots of really slow cars...)

Love it! Have you been out at ABCC before or first time? And any overheating issues out on the track?

Cloud9blue · 08-03-2014, 09:36 AM

First time on the south track. Didn't even get oil temp above 270 since I was hitting traffic every other lap. But mine did get pretty hot, just a hair under 280, while I had an open track at gingerman, so I am saving up for an oil cooler kit right now. You might be ok if yours is manual and running stock psi (but where is the fun in that

)
