Gingerman on Easter
 
Here's a link to my best lap following a 335i with an instructor on board. It really helped me find the correct lines.

First time at this track. Car is stock and held up really well...but the oil temperature was [very near] 300 degrees far too often.

Enjoy!

Impossible to get to 300°F oil temp. Limp mode before that.

I hit limp mode while on the track, strange sensation. Will edit my original post to be more accurate.

You can get to 300F. I was in a 370Z with a pro driver doing demo hot laps and he kept getting pegged at 300 and then limping (2nd limp with more restriction). Trust me, you can get to 300F.

Adam, as we said in person, your girl will settle in. I don't dare post how many miles you have on it during that track day :). I suppose you got about 120mi more on her driving to the track though. Once you get to 3-5kmi, the temps do much better.

A link to my 4th session...GoPro Hero HD made it out to the center of the hood. Decided to stay behind the crazy BMW driver with snow tires to see if he made any more ridiculous moves this session.
