Nope....well not yet anyway. I got a thank you email trying to upsell me on other stuff. M school, M cars etc...

Went to The Ridge M Car Days yesterday. It was a great experience. I was plesently surprised the the follow the leader laps were at full track speeds with only 3 Ms behind the leader. We switch places every lap with the M behind the leader dropping back behind the other two followers. Even with several track events under my belt, I was pressed to keep up to the leader. All in all, great fun. Also it was my first time at “The Ridge” and I must say it is a wonderful track. I am glad I went.

It was definitely a better event then most on here said it would be. We did a TON of driving at Monticello and speeds we reached met/exceeded local HPDE events, so it was definitely not a tame driving experience. All the events were fun and an adrenaline rush, will definitely attend next year.

Oh yeah, most of us on here just started receiving our M Track Days pins this past week.

I posted in the local sub-forum as well, but I am unable to attend the half-day M Track Days event in Thermal, CA next week, Oct 31st from 8A-1P. Selling for $255 FIRM if anyone is interested and missed registration.

Is anyone planning on selling their NOV 3rd 8AM at THERMAL slots? I know someone who is on the wait list!

I am interested in selling my full day spot at the Thermal Club for Nov 1. Please contact me ASAP if interested.

Did the half day Sunday morning at Thermal. First timer, had a blast. Great lunch too. I don't think I embarrassed myself too much as I ended up right the middle of the pack in the autocross timed session. For the lead/follow, had issues following the leader in an M3 (vs. M4 earlier) but later figured out I had the throttle response on comfort which killed my closing speed on the back straight and coming out of some corners. Overshot on the drag race a couple times but finally dialed it in in the M5. Got a BMW water bottle as a parting gift at lunch. Great bargain at $250 for the half day and not thrashing your own car.

I didn't get a pin. Oh well, I wouldn't know what to do with it anyway.

Probably put it on my helmet bag or something.
