It was a fun half day. We started off with a modified drag race. The time was from the start to when you stopped in a stop box. So it included acceleration and braking but only at the last minute. If you broke too late and ended out of the start box, you lost. We got to try an M5, M4, X5M, X3 M40, and an M3.

Next we did follow the leader laps. First in an M4 and then in an M3C. The laps were as fast as the group could go. We had a leader and three followers. Every lap the followers would change position so that everyone got at least one lap behind the leader. Guys, these laps were fast with us hitting well over 120 mph in the straight always. It was a challenge keeping up to the leader. The track itself was outstanding. It was much more interesting than Pacific Raceway. Each car had a one way radio in it so that you could hear driving instructions from the leader.

Next we did a small autocross in the M2s. They were OG M2s not M2Cs. These laps were timed and results were displayed for the entire group at lunch.

Last we rode with an instructor doing “hot” laps in the M3C. These laps were with all the nannies off and they drifted almost every corner. It was unbelievable how much tire smoke was on the track.

All in all, a fun 1/2 day.

I forgot to mention that they split the participants into four groups. Everyone started at a different activity and then rotated to the next. The “hot” laps were last for everyone.
