Killed it at MPact 2015 (PICTURES inside)
So ///MPact was a little over a week ago on July 11. This was my first time attending and I signed up for the Roll-On Racing as well.
MPact is an event held every year at Pocono Raceway, a massive BMW show where "you can do more than park your car." So I decided to see how the car would fair on the roll-on races, which was an 1800-ft stretch of track to unleash the car's potential. I can say that I made you all very, very proud. The car earned some RESPECT for the GT'ers out there, being the only 550GT to attend the event, as well as the first one to ever race. I currently run BMS Stage 1 (for the N63 V8TT), and have a full custom exhaust. I used to just have the mufflers removed, but recently I went all out and had the whole mid-section (front and rear resonators) removed and custom-fabricated stainless steel 3.5" pipes installed. The car sounds insane now. It sounds like an explosion (excuse my childish language) on every shift, and is louder than most ///M3's and ///M5's now. That's not even the best part. After my first two races (this was my first time), I finally got a good handle of how it all worked. So first came a modified E46 M3 v. the GT. He got a huge jump on me (he cheated a little, lol), yet next thing I'm seeing it's as if he's not even moving, I just walked past him. By the end of the race, I had 7-8 car lengths or more on him, the crowd was SHOCKED nonetheless. Next I had my buddy's nicely modified black E92 M3 (with HRE's) against me. This was bound to be interested, I made more power and way more torque, but he was significantly lighter than me. First race, I won by 3-4 car lengths. Second race, I started in the wrong gear, so he got the lead and managed to hold it til the end, despite it being very close. Last two races, both wins for me with significant distance between the two. In the end, I trapped 139mph, while he did 136. Both excellent cars, but I was thoroughly impressed with the GT. The GT definitely did well considering brand new M5's and tuned M4s were running in the 140-150s, just a tad higher. I even raced an E63 V10 M6, which he got a small jump on me also but the cars were neck and neck (and in the quick sprint to the start line I actually passed him ) The crowd loved it too. So many people came up to me after the race (or commented on my Instagram) how amazed they were with the car, esp for how it looks stock to how it transformed now. The car earned its stars and stripes and definitely showed who's boss. Amazing day. Beautiful cars. Awesome races. There was a Twin Turbo UGR Lambo there that trapped 172 mph that was one @#$% fast car. Now, the best part, the pictures I'll try to link some video of the races in a bit. Enjoy guys, and tell me what you think can't wait to hear from you guys! UPDATE: Video (excuse the voices in the vid) [/u2b]

That's one fast GT! Good job! I remember you've had Dinan software installed on your car. Did you install BMS on top of Dinan? Not sure how it works.
