Harris Hill Road Track Day 5/23 Pics

On Saturday myself and a friend attended a track day at Harris Hill Road located between Austin and San Antonio, TX. It was my first time to 'H2R' and the first ever track day for my friend. We had a blast and my friend is now hooked.

As with many track days I've attended there were a large number of M3s, 911s and Miata, with a few Corvettes and even a Z8. My buddy has been looking to begin seriously modding his M3 and he was able to get some valuable info. I have also decided to go ahead and get some track wheels and tires and will be ordering those some time tom.

We were able to get in four 20 minute sessions over the course of the day with a 1.5 hour break for a massive rain storm. After the storm I was one of the first of five cars to go on the track in order to help it dry out and it was the first track time I've had in the wet, to which I discovered that I'm pretty quick in these condition (TC on of course). However, my fastest session was the second prior to the rain as my street tires and pads were having trouble coping during the final session (I left my track pads in Houston unfortunately).

The track is awesome and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will be back there for a M3 only meet next month. I'm also looking into joining once I finish my driver's training at Driveway Austin. Here are several pics that I took and I'm sorry about poor quality, its hard to get good shots at this track with an average digital camera. My car is the white e92M marked 292, and my friend has the dark blue M3 marked 407.

I've been on vacation all this week and my laptop won't upload pics. When I get back to Houston tomorrow I'll upload the pics.

EDIT: Upload is taking forever, I'll do the rest later.

I was not. I have not had the opportunity to go to MSR, but I would love to try it out some time.

Sorry. I saw a CB M3 with a V-CSL trunk like yours.

MSR is pretty fun, lots of room for run off!
