Dude, what were you driving? Kleen, FOACAD and I met up but there were so many 1s that it was pure luck that we found each other.

360 Panorama, best $1.05 I've spent on iTunes. I'll post more pix tomorrow after I sort through the camera's SD card.

The secret is the US spec turn signals. That's how I spotted the other guys.

Today made me decide I'm not getting rid of my amber reflectors till I get back to the States.

Absolutely amazing day out there. Sooooo many amazing cars were there, and yes, a lot of 1M coupes. I got 4 laps in. Working on getting my videos up and then i will post those. Here are a couple pictures i have found of me on the track though.

Elsabor67 · 05-27-2012, 03:39 AM

Looking forward to seeing the vids.

FOACAD · 05-27-2012, 03:44 AM

Here are some pics from my iPhone. More pics coming when they get uploaded...

I can only upload a single picture at a time for some reason. If I do more than that I get a token mismatch error. I guess I need to sign up for flickr account as I have at least 3 sites where I'd like to share the same photos...

Mr Kleen · 05-27-2012, 09:44 AM

Flickr photo link

added a few more

great site for uploading big batches. it will also resize them and when you want to post them you select a whole bunch and in a drop down select generate image links. then it lets you copy the entire list and go paste them to a site.

I was in my 135i, LeMans blue. My bud had his black Caddie CTS-V (got to see him lose it in the Adenaur turn and fly over the curb.....hahahaha, all was good no damage but funny as hell.

Just reduce your photos to around 100 kb to 200 Kb. 400 Kb max size. Then when you go to post click GO ADVANCED mode and click on the paper clip to upload your photos direct to 1addicts. You can upload 50 pics per post. I think your single picture size must be HUGE! lol

Great photos guys!!

Im pretty sure i saw you drive by my at one point, I looked at you with an inquisitive look and got a similar look back from you, but then you kept going.

I was in a white polo with striped shorts.

BTW, here are my videos. Only have laps 1, 3 and 4 because i accidentally had my GoPro on still mode during the first quarter of my 2nd lap so i havnt really cared to upload it since these 3 took so long.

Swadeness · 05-28-2012, 03:39 AM

Very cool guys, I wish I could have gone. Maybe I can go on the next one. Thanks for posting the pics and the vids, is it normally that busy on the weekends?

FDM68 · 05-28-2012, 04:39 AM

Truthfully that was an average day but I've seen it worse.

Yes, sometimes even worse. And to top it all off, you add the accidents that shut the course down for 1-2 hours.

Mr Kleen · 05-28-2012, 08:40 AM

There were at least 2 minor accidents that shut things down for a bit. Next time I'll just have to wake up at 05:00 and be there right as the gates open.

Elsabor67 · 05-28-2012, 09:27 AM

Kleen, I went one day as the gates opened and thank GOD I didn't wreck. The track had morning dew and was in the low 50's when I went on. I slid once and after that run, I waited a bit and got back on around 9am. By then it was better as the hardcore track guys laid down some good rubber and it warmed up quick.

FDM68 · 05-29-2012, 10:19 AM

Just a pwrslide

Das einser und ring

Dackelone · 05-29-2012, 10:26 AM
