MODS: I'm posting this specifically to the E39 folks as I discussed this with many of them at Bimmerfest and no one seems to venture into the "track" forums, and the regional forums are almost equally as desolate.
I'm going to post these events until at least a couple of you fools actually experience real driving!!!!
WHO: Colonial Challenge Cup - a charity organization affiliated with the Boys and Girls Club of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County.
WHAT: High Performance Driving Event (HPDE)/Track day/Lapping/whatever you kids are calling it these days.
WHEN: Wednesday, September 14th, 2011
WHERE: Summit Point Raceway (main course) in Summit Point, WV
WHY:
HOW: Take off your skirt (seriously, pants on track; you too, ladies), check your wheel bearings, change your oil, air up your tires, dig those "///M" gloves out of your car-nerd closet (we know you have them), give the car a once over, and drive out to the track.
If you're scared for your car's well-being on track:
HPDE Insurance Program
Also, more information can be found here, registration included:
Track Day
Some of my photo work at their events:

Feel free to post questions here, or PM.

WHY:
- I've never seen a group of people who love their cars so much, tout its greatness; all while being so hesitant/afraid/unwilling to get out there and feel those very characteristics which makes so right.
- It's for a great cause
- It's tax deductible
- Straight lines are for the feeble
- You think you're a good driver; and you might be, but you'll be better after this, guaranteed.
- Where else can you do >140mph legally? (my 540 almost ticks 135)
- A lot of cool cars show up that you don't normally see at track days (bizzarrini, ariel atom, tesla, ferraris, aston martins, etc. etc.)
- This organization tends to run light on cars allowing for a good amount of track time without the on-track traffic.
- I will also be doing photos, and as incentive might do free track photos for M5 guys if enough show up.
