Oregon Raceway Park in Grass Valley, OR....middle of nowhere, like a fun back road with no speed limit, using the natural contours of the land to create some amazing cambered and off cambered corners, lots of hills, blind corners, and a series of esses known as the half pipe. Enjoy!
Clockwise is the easier "driving school" orientation. Counter Coockwise is the competition direction.

Been on that track a few times with Palatov Motorsports. They’re out there on the 10th I believe, to test their race cars. Good folks. I know the Justesen Ranches owners and they’ve got Airbnb sites all over Wasco and Sherman county so you want to stay with them if you overnight it.
I got sent OOT for work otherwise I would be there myself this week and then Bend for the meet up on Saturday. The last turn before the pit in clockwise is a tricky one! |

Another track day….couldn't quite keep up with the GT3RS's or the McLaren, but it was fun to try!

Thanks for sharing. Looks like a nice track. What mods do you have on your car?

Should be visible in sig, which is up to date.

DANG IT MAN! I was JUST out there this weekend down at Shaniko Ranch and I drove right through GV Friday and Sunday. My local buddies said there was an event there but I didn't check the forums. Looks like you were running well under 2 minutes on those laps! |

I think I could have improved more yesterday but there was an asphalt issue that required them to cone off a section of the front straight in the afternoon which added a little time. I'll be at The Ridge Tuesday 9/14 for a Turn2 "Late Apexing" day which is 5 sessions from 3-8. Do it!

It isn't an option, so its purely hypothetical . . . i think the work of driving would be easier, particularly in braking zones, but I shift pretty quickly and the monster mid-range torque allows me to corner in a higher gear and avoid many downshifts.

I actually think a DCT swap into 1M might be easy, considering it came on the Z4 35is and 2011+ 135i. You would simply need the shifter/paddles/wheel from M3, DCT from Z4/135i, and driveshaft/diff from a 135i (obviously retrofitted with proper LSD)... some wiring and coding. That said, the cooler for the DCT kills a clean swap, since cooling is already an issue for the oil. |

I have an M2cs with DCT, but it will be a while before it goes to the track. I figure when the 1M is ready to retire from track duty, the CS will take over and my left foot can retire too.
