Track Day at Palm beach Intl Raceway... 56K get some coffee

ssabripo · 10-15-2009, 03:11 PM

posted this over at 1addicts, but given some nice M3 content, I figured you guys might enjoy this too...

VP of my work rubs elbows the rich and famous in Palm Beach, and got some "passes" to the Palm Beach Racing club ($37k registration, $7k/year fee :eek4: ).... gave my friend the passes.

Palm beach International Raceway:

so here we go.... my friend with his M3, my other friend with his modded 350z, and my shitty 135i:

just arriving at the place:

1st late afternoon session:

The blue M3, with lots of work, best lap time: 1:33.5 secs...I was only 1 second behind:bowdown:

richardg · 10-15-2009, 03:25 PM

Wow, I would love to get a crack at a private track day like this.

RedlineMotorworks · 10-15-2009, 03:50 PM

Looks like fun! Thanks for posting.

Green///Hell · 10-15-2009, 03:55 PM

I love nobles at the track, they spit crazy flames out of their exhausts

Kind of sounds like Autobahn country club here. A little cheaper $35k initiation and $4k yearly dues
But this has club houses and Condos and stuff on a 4 mile track and go kart track

Technic · 10-15-2009, 06:04 PM

Forget about paying for crack... I'd pay the $37,000 and the monthly fees without any problem if I would have that kind of money to burn.

Driving in a track is sublime...

MJC///M3 · 10-15-2009, 07:25 PM

looks like a great time!!! damn I gotta move my ass to florida!!!

m3_love · 10-15-2009, 07:30 PM

I wish I had chance to attend even like this, seems like tons of fun!! THanks for sharing

Xelloss · 10-15-2009, 07:37 PM

Don't say your 135i is shitty, I'm actually looking at a 135i over the M3 as my next car given my cash woes at the moment.

datbimmerdoe · 10-15-2009, 09:25 PM

Now that's what's up!

Awesome pics.

M3 Pilot · 10-15-2009, 11:21 PM

Gotta love the side profile shot of the 135. That spoiler is eye-catching.

shaggag · 10-16-2009, 03:35 AM

thanks for sharing - love the wheels and general look of that blue e92 - aggressive

bavarian19 · 10-16-2009, 06:23 AM

What rims are on the M3? ZCP rears all around?

KWY91 · 10-16-2009, 06:40 AM

May I ask what spoiler is that on the M3? omg it looks really good!

Thanks for sharing btw, wish I could track locally

well, I was being a little sarcastic...it's a great little fun car, and a very worthy cheaper alternative to the M3; just ask technics

And given my times, I think it did pretty well for itself.

But yes, at tracks like these is where the M3 shines!

lol just goes to show you that the best mod you can give any car is a real driver. Thanks for the pics, they're awesome.

FrenchBoy · 10-16-2009, 11:23 AM

Sounds like you guys had a blast. The facility with the big and go-kart tracks look like a bunch of fun. I'm jealous.

TurboSid · 10-16-2009, 11:36 AM

damn that looks like fun!

i need to graduate from auto-x and to track days already.
