Thanks for the pics!

With all the water, ice, snow melt rivers, and mud on the track, the field was fairly levelized and we were clicking off laps quicker than cars like the M235ir in our ‘95 BMW. And, we were one of the only cars that didn’t go off Sat, so we were able to bring home the win!

I started on Sunday and put in a pretty strong opening stint, but one of our drivers spun into the snow later in the day, and it’s just too hard to come back from a few laps down, so 5th on Sunday.

Next season starts at Road Atlanta in Feb! The field is always about 2/3 BMWs. http://americanenduranceracing.com/home/2019-schedule/

Well done! Did the 235iR make it out on Sunday? What laos were you guys running? I checked a few times on Saturday and you were in the 1:32s and the mustang second or two faster.

They did, but we still finished ahead of them. We got down to 1:28s on Sat and 1:25s on Sunday, from our little 210hp 325 on Falken’s (not even RE-71R’s)!

That's very respectable. How much does the car weigh?

Oh man, #99 GTR is fast as hell. They weren’t at Summit, or they probably would have won as long as the snow didn’t catch them out!

Where do you race your E30?

E30's home is NCM in bowling green. We are shaking it down to attempt endurance with champ. We kept it spec legal though just in case we decide on sprints in between.

Zakspeed is my friends shop, he cobuilt and co drives the e30 with me
