Video of 335i at Streets of Willow on Hot Day



This is from a cam binder clipped to the dash hood over the nav. The car reduced power a few laps after passing the e46 m3, right before I was going to pass the Shelby.

Yeah..we hate it.

In California I have been to Thunderhill, Sears Point (Infineon), Laguna Seca, Buttonwillow, Willow Springs...all of these within 3.5 hours...the closest being Laguna.

Why did they have the turn 4 "trimmed" and the 'Bowl' cut out of the circuit ?

I love streets.

Can't wait to get my 335i out there.

I really have no idea. I think they might have said that people often go off the track there. Maybe the track insurance is cheaper that way.

Hi,

Great run. I'm going to the track for the first time next month. I'm curious about the cam binder you used. Would like to get something like that myself to cover events, etc. Can you give me a link to what this is or where to buy it?

Thanks! :rocks:

did it go into limp mode because of over-heating?

It's a home made deal. I will post some pics but I think you would need the navigation option unless you want to clip it to the speedo hood.

Check out http://www.cruisecam.com/Mount_new.pdf

This is both cheap and a good mount! Good luck at the track!

I figured out how to post pic. The simple binder clip is the one I used for this video, clipped to the hood of the nav. The other one I made by chopping up a tripod mount and it attaches to the headrest.

Just searched for 335i track days on youtube and stumbled upon this. Realized that it was a member of e90post so I figured I'd mention that you are a smooth driver. Very consistent.
