Here is a video I took during the first twilight event on 7/7... not that easy to go fast at night:

I got some pretty interesting pictures too... you can check them out in this thread:

It was super fun...
I slept like a baby that night dreaming about the next one

I'm signed up for the 28th... Can't wait! We are driving out the night before and staying at a hotel for the night to be 'fresh' in the morning.

Heading out there with two friends, one in an '11.5 E93 M3 and another in an '12 E92 M3, both tuned by me.

So between the three of us we have covered the M3 model line offerings. I have never run Streets on the clockwise configuration, very interested in trying it out as I loved it counter-clockwise.

Hope to see some of you guys there!

hey I was thinking of running in the twilight event. will it be too dark tho? I don't mind getting up early, so which would be the better event to attend?

Night: cooler, less people, more money

Day: hotter, more people, less money.

When I was there the other week and the previous event, I left at 8:30ish (I had a rather important event I needed to attend later in the evening) and it was still a but light out

Personally, I preferred the after 4 pm time cause it's just so much cooler...but I am familiar with the track more than a first time...

For a first time I would say day, but if you have more confidence, do it at night. the lighting is good, but it's never going to be as good as the sun.

or maybe do both

hmm after seeing that video I definitely think I'm gonna go to the morning session. Looks wayy to dark at some portions of the track to see what's going on.

Don't discard going at night simply based on my video. If this is your first event, then yes don't do the evening. If you've never been on this track before, again I would skip evening unless you're comfortable learning a new track. Otherwise, you'll be fine. Just don't expect to break any track record and take it easy. The evening event was actually pretty unique and fun

Registering now, is there a gas station at the track? I'm easily gonna burn through a tank getting there.

Helmet! (you can rent, but using your own is always the best)

Torque wrench, water, more water, gatorade, snacks, helmet, driving gloves, etc etc

Good stuff, yea I just rented a helmet as I don't have one, may need to pick up a set of driving gloves and I'll definitely bring some water. Thanks
