It's Christmas

Engine and chassis are off to mate...

There was an unexpectedly long delay in getting the race engine completed. Missed the entire 2015 season, unfortunately.

The engine is supposed to ship this week. Webers will be on soon (crosses fingers).

Came home to find this in the mail: the "Spirit of Club Racing" award for the Calabogie weekend.

It was very unexpected and makes the event even more memorable for me. The BMW CCA Club Race guys really made me feel welcome! I'll be back for sure.

Very cool. Emre!

Dude, that looks like a great field of cars!!

Finished my first race weekend with BMW CCA CR at Calabogie. I was at the back of the pack, but had a great time. Can't wait to do it again!

Sub'd, this is sick! Can't wait to see the new motor!

Awesome.

That must have been awesome to have your 190 out there with a bunch of rival E30 M3s. It's been over four years since I've been to VIR: the track surface is all nice now and I guess the oak tree fell a few years ago.
