My alarm kept randomly going off. I got a new hood switch since my alarm wouldn't beep when I locked my car occasionally.

Had my first ever track time! Our local BMWCCA club held its monthly meeting this morning at the brand new NOLA Motorsports Park which is only 15 minutes from downtown. NOLA MSP recently finished construction on the karting and north track. The track management gave us their presentation and said that in its longest configuration the karting track (1.4 miles) and the entire north+south track when completed (5.5 miles) are among the longest in the US.
While it wasn't really track time, per say, we were allowed to take our cars in a group on two parade laps of the north track at a pretty fast clip. Hopefully once the track is complete and management has recovered some of the cost of construction, the daily prices will come down some and our BMW club will be able to have some real events out there.
We had a good turnout with a beautiful 3.0 CSL, E30 M3, two e36 and two E46 M3s, 1M, and assorted E30, 36, 39, 46s, but only one ZHP. That doesn't make me special like the CSL, right? I only grabbed a few quick shots

Pics of 1M...
sorry, I guess I get the ban stick as I didn't get any pics of the 1M. I grabbed my point and shoot while running out the door, but didn't realize the battery only had enough juice for a few pictures. But I was right behind the 1M for the laps. He pulled away from me as you would expect when we hit the straight.
Kyle,
I still have the plates, I'll probably send them out on Monday. Brandon gave me 2 for you.

I have thought of doing a multi channel cam system for autocross and track days, but I may need to get it put in with motion sensors for this type of situation...
Also, I just realized i posted in the wrong thread on this from my phone earlier today, but I also bought a set of roof rack bars... oem oval bars, used once, they looked brand new and were a steal at $80...

Installed my BMW Performance CF strut bar yesterday. Looks awesome and seemed to tighten up the handling a bit......
