Track Day Pics

My Sister came out to my last track day with her high end camera and took some pics of my 135i. Thought I'd share a few of em with everyone. The pics were taken after a straight in a breaking zone. So that's why my car looks like it has so much rake.

Good stuff!

Occasionally some professionals come out to the track days my club runs. These were my favorites from the May event at Thunderhill:

The painter's tape was probably unnecessary. I didn't want to do the whole bumper but I did try to cover a few of the areas where I've noticed the bumper seems to get more abuse. I've been wanting to do a clear PPF solution for a while but just haven't wanted to spend the dough.

Unfortunately they didn't have anyone at Laguna Seca last month. I really want the classic Corkscrew photo to put in my office. Next year I guess...

Looks sharp. I see those are the stock wheels, but what kind of tires you running? I have a 3M Clear Bra on mine. Can't tell unless your really up close. It's saved my hood on a few occasions as I've taken some rock hits that have actually damaged the Clear Bra itself. Of course with my luck I've also taken a few just above the the Clear Bra line. They are pretty minor though.

Those pics are from my first event on the 225/255 Dunlop ZIIs. I ran OEM run-flats on the stock wheels a couple times before that. At some point the plan is to upgrade to some Apex AERO-7s, but for now the stock boat anchors are doing the job.
