Hi All -

There were some challenges the guys overcame that weekend (April 8-9), but perserverance is part of what it takes to win titles. The good news is Ralph got class wins in both races and set a new HP track record for BW #13 CW with a lap under 1:59 (the old mark was 2:04.xxx)

You can look at lap time data at MyLaps.com. BMW club racing in group D

How about some more inspiration. Not our car, but some good video action of the 3 hour day/night enduro from an e30 M3

I like the, "GO!!!" with the hand action. :lol:

If I was to ever get into competitive racing, it would definitely be through track events. Autocrossing has never appealed much to me, while track racing, I'm sure, would be a total blast. I'm jealous...
