Running the car at the WannaGoFast 1/2 mile event.
The 1/8 and 1/4 mile track runs are the more common opportunities to test our vehicles. But how about a chance to do a legal 1/2 mile sprint in the car ?
There are events done at various locations in the country throughout the year called WannaGoFast (linked for info) where you can run for 1/2 mile. The goal is to see your best trap speed at the 1/2 vs time for the run. The best speed in each car class (RWD,FWD, 4 Door, Heavyweight over 4K lbs, AWD, etc) gets the win. Last weekend I ran at the TX event on Saturday. Now honestly most of the cars there are pretty high HP, with one or two exceptions, they were almost double if not more than my slightly modded 335i. But you just don't get many chances to run at speed for the 1/2 mile without the possibility of going to jail. So here's my last run of the day where myself and another 335i owner had a chance to run against each other instead of a modded Z06 or CTS-V, a much better match. He was an E90 335i coupe with a Dinan stage 1 flash tune.

Here's the official video from the 1/2 mile TX event last month.
Looks like they included a few shots from one of the runs I did against a modded Corvette at 10:10.
