For a hundred dollar donation I get to drive my car around the track (following a pace car, bummer). My time slot isn't until 4:00. I'll have pics and Gopro video tonight. :D

We have an 06 330i. I'm sure I'm not going to be able to put her through the paces but should be a blast.

Waiting my turn.

Well it was really fun to actually drive on this track that I've been to dozens of times and seen on TV more then I know. Kind of sucked though the way we were lined up. No rhyme or reason.
We were in groups of 10 following a pace car. Drivers meeting we were told the pace cars would drive according to how the group was wanting to go.
I ended up fourth in line for my time group. First was an old guy in mid to late Monte Carlo I think. Couldn't even keep up with the Corolla pace car.
Here's the Gopro, don't mind the F bomb frustration from me.

Bmwcca puts on some great drivers ed courses. Instructor in the passenger seat, passing with point by only, and as fast as you want. PCA (the faster German car company) do as well, and tend to be pretty inclusive.

Prices are reasonable.

Its too bad you couldn't do this more often at different places like Fontana speedway. How cool would it be to rent the track for an hour and put something like a corvette on the track for an hour so you could safely open it up.

Dude behind me, driving an Audi S4 told be about something called "hooked on driving". Sounds like what you're talking about. I'll inquire about bmwcca tomorrow.
