A bunch of you probably already saw this when Cloudbase made a thread in the Track section, but I'll post it again here. Not my camera, but really thankful Cloudbase let me borrow it for a few sections, and not my editing. Yes, it would have been nicer to have clear engine noise, less music, blah blah blah. Cam was mounted on windshield and wind noise superseded pretty much any natural noises that would have been worth listening to...

Splitter Cam -- tried mounting my GoPro on my splitter to see how that angle would look.

Practice session at Chuckwalla.

Btw. What does your car weigh in at..?

It weighs in at 2450 with me in it and 1/2 tank of gas.

We need to change to lexan windows (probably just the 2 side and rear).

It started life as a 325i so it was a little heavier than a 318i to start.

Thanks, the car is finally getting there.

It would have been nice if we qualified with the lap times we know we were capable of. The tires we ran for the race were slower than the ones we practice with the day before.

All in all we were just happy to make the race and make the checker flag.

This is from a BMWCCA club race at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway. A new track about one hour East of Palm Springs in So Cal.

We started at the rear because we missed qualifying.
