My second HPDE. (Road Atlanta) 135i

tkbr0wn · 03-08-2010, 10:16 PM

Here is a link to two laps from my final session at Road Atlanta last weekend. A fellow 1addict was my instructor for the weekend and he was awesome!

Here it is...

Sweet, looks like a lot of fun!

merlinbk · 03-09-2010, 12:55 AM

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it. Do you have anymore footage?

tkbr0wn · 03-09-2010, 01:08 AM

I have the whole 20 minute session, I just figured everyone would get bored with it. I may upload the rest to YouTube sometime this week.

jeremydgreat · 03-09-2010, 02:00 AM

Love seeing people drive their 1's the way they were meant to be driven. God I need to go to the track soon.

Thanks for sharing!

Whats up man?! I gets no love anymore? LOL.....Didn't even know about this until Brian PM'd me last week...unfortunately work took me out of town for the last few weeks...

jremling · 03-09-2010, 12:29 PM

It was good to see another 1 out there. I had my 135 at RA for the 4th time last weekend. The torque is great when it comes to running down your fellow drivers out of 5and 7. Stay with it. I hope to see you at Roebling or Barber this spring.
Save up for brake pads!

looks fun

m3bs · 03-09-2010, 10:09 PM

I was riding shotgun in that video, and it was great fun indeed.

I also did right seat with a guy in a E92 M3, and noted that the speeds at various places on the track were almost identical, but the experience was just so different. The V8 in the M3 just wails at full song, while the 135 goes just as fast with far less drama. I think tkbr0wn will agree, there's more to being quick on the track than HP.

The fatality last weekend at CMP makes me think about why I do this stuff, but I believe the experience gained on the track makes street driving more safe. I can now drive to work and be quite content to watch people blow by. I just think to myself: "Come see if you can run with me on the weekend at the track."

After riding shotgun with you in the last session, I think the answer to that would be a resounding "NO"

adrean8j · 03-09-2010, 10:49 PM

^^^I second that.....I rode shotgun with him the first time at Oktoberfest...he took it easy the first lap....then on the second lap I was like ohhhhh shiiiiiiiznit! LOL...

Too bad you couldn't make this one. You and tkbr0wn both need to look into doing the Roebling Road event in June. Roebling doesn't have the elevation changes that RA does, but it is a challenging track to get right. I may do Friday with my M3, and bring my 135 for Sat/Sun, if it doesn't sell before then.

There are also non-BMWCCA events, such as DarkSide and SeatTime at Roebling before then that you may want to consider. I'm signed up for DarkSide 4/30-5/2.

adrean8j · 03-09-2010, 11:41 PM

Where do I/WE sign up? Roebling Rd. is only 20 min. from our Corp. Apt. in Savannah and 45 min from Mum's house!

John Tanglewood · 03-10-2010, 12:09 AM

Wow GREAT video!!! I absolutely have to get to this track, your video made it seem like so much fun.

Thanks

SeatTime is open for registration now: http://www.seat-time.com

Peachtree opens some time in April: http://peachtreebmwcca.motorsportreg.com/

I’m signed up for the DarkSide event now. Go to www.clubregistration.net and search for organization Dark Side Driving Events.

I'm still thinking about SeatTime.

octironSmith · 03-10-2010, 10:30 AM

Great vid tk! I registered for the spring event but had to cancel because of other commitments. I'm definitely planning to be there for the Roebling event.

Maybe I'll be able to bring the project E36 along as well!

I thought my $5 camera mount really worked out great. Here it is...
