Teaser pics from Infineon Raceway (Sears Point) Nov 7th

what a blast, perfect weather - sunny, temperature in the 70s - and a great bunch of folks at Infineon Raceway last Friday. This was the perfect finish for the season

Here are some teaser pictures before I post a full report and videos - one comment upfront: The DCT is now perfect for the track, always shifted up and down when I requested it

It was great seeing you there Dave, Rob and other familiar faces (sorry I am soooo bad with names)

WoW looks like fun. I love that track! I took the Jim Russel Racing and Mechanic school for 1 year there (what a blast). Now I live in the boring midwest. I sure wish I could of taken my M3 on that track (we used rotary powered open wheel cars).

Great photos! I am happy to hear the DCT downshifts now under heavy braking. Can't wait for next spring to get back on the track.

Did the 360 get away or was he trying to buy his lap time?
