Default Rainy Track Day

Yesterday was a BMW club track day at the Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, WA. It is the Pacific Northwest and a rainy day is to be expected (tolerated?) this time of year!

It was a LOT of fun in the rain. The tires were new Trofeo-R's and they did very well in the rain yesterday.

Here are some pictures from the paddock:








I took the Macan out for a few laps too. Very nice in the rain!

Pretty fun on the track in the rain if you have the right tires. I like dry better but what a machine for car control : ). Mike

I do miss Seattle but in the northeast it's pretty nice this time of year.
Great day at Monticello!

I saw this GT3 in person on Thursday I believe on 520 west... I got off the freeway at 92nd and you continued onwards. Almost thought it was a 6RS at first glance! Wish I would've joined the group at the track.
