I attended the Poconos Track Day event sponsored by BMWNA and my BMW center. The weather forecast looked a little iffy the night before, but it turned out to be a non-issue (for the morning session, at least). The day consisted of autocrossing in M5, M6, and M6GC, followed by runs behind a lead car on one of the road courses in 6 and 7 series (all versions). On the back straight, we were able to reach speeds of 110+mph... we were behind the leader, so he kept us in check. After we got tired of that, the pros took us out on hot laps in M5s and M6s on the same track where we hit close to 130mph on the back straight. All in all, it was a good day beating on someone else's car. I will say that the cars they brought were very odd choices for the track (760Li on a track?) but I am not complaining... Where else would I get to drive a land boat like I stole it? Also, if this event did anything, it made me absolutely certain that I would never buy an M6GC. Ever. @pillpusher84
