SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY (May 26th 1/4 track)

Heading out to Capitol Raceway's Sunday's Test-n-Tune. (Sunday's are usually much less chaotic/busy than their Friday nights)
As long as it's dry, I'll be there. Thought I'd share incase any other M's might want to make their presence known. Plus, this will be my first go at it with the F80, so if any of you show up, maybe I can learn a thing or two from you. I hear this car is super simple to launch off the line
Gates open at 10am.http://www.capitolraceway.com/schedule/

Wish me luck! Hope to see another M there!

Have done one of these. What does it include and what is the cost? Link isn't working in my phone.

It's $40 to race, i think $10 to watch.
Wear long pants, bring a pen (to fill out your inspection card), and have a DOT rated helmet...that is unless your car runs 14.0+

Yeah tomorrows conditions are definitely less than ideal, but i'm going there just to see where I currently stand. Probably only going to be there from 10-2. Trying to dial in my off-the-line launch. Just pulled a 3.74 0-60 yesterday. We'll see if i can bring that down a smidge with different rpm variations/rear tire psi.

Wow 3.74 is impressive in these cars, is that with launch control? Which tires you running?

DCT or Manual? Any idea what your 60' is? I used to go to test and tune at capitol with my old cars but never with either of my M3s.

Welp, today was an epic bust! Drive all the way out there just to find out that they made a last minute decision (11:30pm last night) to close for Memorial day weekend. Didn't bother to update/post anything on their website...just their facebook page. Super bummed, especially for some of my buds that I convinced to come out and run as well. Oh well...

To answer some of the above:

DCT
- Yes to launch control
- OEM 19" wheels with stock Michelin Pilot Super Sports (full psi)
I completely forgot to adjust the launch RPM, so whatever the default was at the time... 3,500 i think? Not positive.

Wow, sucks the track didn't announce it on they're website or something? Still impressed with that 0-60, do you have a Dragy? Get one, you'll love it. In my experience its like 99.5% as accurate as the clocks at a dragstrip, maybe closer even.

No, I don't have a dragy...yet From what I read, everyone who has one absolutely loves theirs. I'll have to keep my eye out for a deal to pop up.
