Any one doing any Track days soon in the Tristate?
So, I used to do a lot of Trackday's when I lived in Ireland and often went to tracks in the UK and the Nurburgring for long weekends with my e36 caged M3 etc but haven't been on track in 7 years since I moved to New York.
I'm thinking about booking a day soon and have a nice window of opportunity the week of August 14th when the family is away I was trying to figure out online what is available locally as I'm totally unaware of the local scene. I see there is a two day event ran by David Murray at Watkins Glen which sounds awesome but might be a bit much too given it's 14 hours of open track and probably suited to race cars testing etc ?... I'd probably end up needing a full set of pads and tires and about 10 tanks of fuel. It's tempting though Anyone have any plans coming up or recommendations in the area. I'd like to say I 'was' an experienced driver but I'm definitely rusty I bet, especially in a brand new car |

Join BMWCCA and attend an HPDE. I will be instructing at Lime Rock with BMWCCA on 8/21. I believe Delval Chapter will be at NJMP on the weekend of the 14th.

I'm trying to squeeze one or two more in this summer, but no firm plans yet. I haven't been to any BMW specific events other than M track days driving their cars, to which there is one coming up in October at Monticello (beautiful track/grounds and it's a member-only club, so not something you could typically drive without spending a ton), but I usually just checkout motorsportreg.com when I'm looking for something. I get an email once a week or so listing all the events coming up within 300 miles of me. I look for NJMP, NYST, Limerock, Watkins Glen, Pocono, etc. I wouldn't necessarily recommend Pocono myself... it's just in close proximity to me, and the couple of times I've been there it was only with a dozen or so cars and we had more track time than I could handle - I was utterly exhausted after my last trip.
