    Video: Take a lap around PMP in a traction-challenged BMW 335is

    It was a fun day overall, but a complete waste of $100. I got about 4 laps in before blowing off a charge pipe that ended my day. It was fun though, would've liked for the rain not be fall down on the track, but I don't complain about rain! As usual the fastest cars there had the slowest drivers.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    It was a race prepped 250!

    I don't really listen to the music on the track, it's more there for the background noise, and of my few thousand songs that one came on!

    No idea what my top speed was, I don't think I got a clean run down the straight. I found my problem with the charge pipes, hoping to have it fixed in a week or two.
