First time out! Blackhawk Farms Raceway
Today after being on this forum for years... Going from a 325xi to a 335xi and now into a m235i, I finally got on a race track. Blackhawk Farms Raceway in South Beloit, IL. It was definitely a great experience and will be doing this again.
I got to admit it was rather intimidating when I got there and saw a cayman gt4, Ferrari 588, m3 (with like every possible mod on it), etc. Then I started to talk to people, everyone was awesome and super helpful. If you're on the fence about doing something like this I say DO IT!!! You won't regret it. I have an m235i w/ jb4, bms intake, fabspeed muffler bypass, Dinan springs/ride quality kit, and 19in VMR 710s w/ Michelin PSS. The car held up great! A friend of mine was running everything stock except Dinan springs/ride quality kit and it also did great. If you're in the southern WI/northern IL area shoot me a pm. I'd be happy to go with other people on here |

Do you leave the TPMS screen up during the session? I do this and monitor pressures.....then check them with my tire pressure gauge once in the paddock. |

Looking at doing the Milwaukee Mile this Thursday and following it up with Blackhawk Farms this weekend (Shelby Club). I haven't been out this season so really looking forward to it. Hopefully we'll see you out there. Your tires look great for no camber plates |

I don't blame you for waiting on camber plates. If you need help with camber plate install let me know. I'm pretty much an "expert" at it now. |

Me and my buddy were running on the lower side of 1:30s as long as we didn't get stuck behind someone in a no passing zone. My best was 1:30.88, don't remember his best but it was similar. |
