I am a big fan of some of MB AMGs new cars. I am glad to see a C63 AMG coupe on the track! Sick wing on that thing!

My votes went to Dakar yellow & second place is Melbourne red.

MrAdams · 06-05-2013, 11:52 AM

Damn... I need to go to the next event you throw on a weekend.

W/// · 06-05-2013, 12:33 PM

I'm hoping to go with BMW CCA at Road Atlanta this Sept. This will be my first track day in my M3. This looks like so much fun!

Detroit M3 · 06-05-2013, 02:11 PM

BTW, Josh...is your event okay for beginners or do you recommend we take a course or something first?

can we just run the track, without focussing on lap times...just to feel out/experience the track?

stock brakes are fine for the first time out there, right?

It's actually where you want to be. Other groups put 20-30 drivers in a group, making someone uneased since it's the first time at the track... I hate when people were even close to me when I started (another reason why I started SD)

M3s are expensive cars, damage at the track isn't going to be covered, this is like a mini insurance policy, no cars around me, I have nothing to worry about. It's spaced out and the event has 1/3 the amount of people.

We also have professional driving instructors (Jordan Yost/Mike Bonnani) come out, sit with you, teach you the line, give you pointers, etc.

Yes, you can also do that. It's seriously the best thing I have ever done in my life. I use to always be the guy who would get a supercharger, build the motor, put a crap load of boost in it to go fast in a straight line. It was pathetic. The track is where it is at. Anyone can drive straight, but driving on a road course is where the adrenaline rush comes, where you actually use those 6k bbk, where you get you need for speed out, where you can't get a speeding ticket, you actually get to floor your car... I can go on for days and days, just thinking about it makes me want to drive to a local race track. I went to the track twice in the last 5 days. It's a sick addiction, watch out!

(BTW- Stock brakes are fine, esp if it's your first time out. If you see you are advanced for a beginner, you can do basic upgrades, upgraded pads (pretty cheap), upgraded lines.)

Hit me up if you ever have any questions. As you can see, I really do love going and anyone that has taken the step to try it, ends up just like this lol.

Great event filled with tons of great people. I had a lot of fun, even tho it was super hot. I look forward to going again soon. Lots of learning, especially for a beginner like myself. Like Josh said earlier, this is a good chance for beginners to learn in a safe environment. There was plenty of space and everyone was very respectful.

UBER ///M3 · 06-06-2013, 02:50 PM

love the pics!!! looks like lots of fun!!!

OC ///M · 06-06-2013, 03:45 PM

It was a great time out there, thanks to tightie for putting on another awesome Speed District event!
This is my favorite shot, looks like the (hard braking) entry to Turn 1.

Thanks for coming out

Every event will have the same people, same turn out. It's normally a 75% return rate. Always have least amount of cars to make sure everyone is safe, alot of track time
