Running at VIR this weekend
 

I don't know who got the bright idea to let a X5 out on track but I'm glad they did! I was just going to watch some friends but it seems a spot might have opened up. Pics and maybe video to come.

The tires, brakes, and oil are fresh. Weather is gonna be perfect / boost friendly. Crossing fingers for no unexpected issues. Might mix some 100 oct just to keep knock safely away. Worth the power loss IMO.

I think it is hilarious and awesome that you track your X5. Good luck out there! Can't wait to see some video

Have fun. Track is amazing. My buddy was beating up corvettes in his Lightning, I expect the same out of you ;)

Go get em cant wait to see some videos

I was at an event last fall at a smaller track, and there was an E53 running in the novice group. I think that driver and her instructor probably had more fun than anybody that ran that day - said the old X was surprisingly capable out there.

VIR is great, love it there.

That is pretty cool, I would love to do that!!

I'd like to see pics and vids. Especially of the looks of disbelief of the sports car drivers you will be passing :D

I'll do what I can guys!

Well.... helmet, tools, quart of oil, and fold out lazy chair are packed. Saying a little prayer tonight that I don't have to make an offering to the gods of speed tomorrow. I'll try to bum a gopro from my buddy who is in a different group. Worst case, I'll have some pics! My plan is to grid up in the rear and not beat the balls off of the motor. But if I do get a point-by I'll take it. :)

Early day tomorrow! Tech at 6:45 so I'll leave here around 4:30

Have fun, haul azz, carve some corners and be careful! :thumbup:
