Pacific Raceways BMWCCA track day 5/27 in car videos and photos

FrenchBoy · 05-29-2010, 10:56 PM

A few M3post members, Dawgdog, KM3, Aarodynamics and myself, participated to the BMWCCA track day at Pacific Raceways outside of Seattle on Thursday. Despite some sub par weather recently here in Seattle, the weather held out great on and we had a wonderful day. Plus I had an amazing instructor for the first couple of sessions.

Here are few in car videos and photos from the day. Excuse the poor sound quality.

Session 1 with instructor, Dawgdog is in front with the white M3:

Session 3 with instructor:

Session 4, solo:

Paddock, my car and Dawgdog's hot white M3

KM3 coming into turn 9:

Here are also a few cool photos from the PCA event on 5/22. Photos courtesy of Adam Hosey Photography:

You are running D-Force LTW-5's? What set up? Are you running spacers too?

I have the LTW-5s 18x9.5 square with 15mm spacer at the front and 12mm at the back, so I'd like to compare notes.

Thanks for the compliment.

I am running D-Force LTW5 18x9.5 all around shod with Dunlop Star Spec 275/35/18. I use 12mm spacers in the front and 15mm in the rear. I could use 15mm all around but I find that the front track with the 12mm spacers is already wider than the rear by about 1mm.
I am trying to get as much of a square setup as possible. The car is currently very neutral which I am quite happy with.

I have 265/35/18 Nitto NT-05s. No rubbing with 275/35/18 with those spacers then?
