    ChumpCar at Road America April 21-22!

    Looking for something to do this weekend???? How about watching a handful of your beloved E30's racing against a bunch of crap at on of the premier road courses in the US!!!!


    That's right, ChumpCar is holding their 'Great American Meltdown' Double-7 ChumpCar event this weekend, April 21st and 22nd, at the awesome Road America in Elkhart Lake WI. I will be there with the Bavarian Mustache Werks team's '87 325is, Thelma, to take on the rest of the 55+ car field in the 2 7-hour events. There are something like 6 E30s signed up. Maybe more. So, plenty of E30 racing action!


    We are car #68 for this event, come on out, say hi and enjoy the racing!
    I plan to have updates while we are on track (other than when I'm in the car) - those will be posted up on my FB page here:

    As a fun little extra bonus, I'm going to have a bit of a contest, with some sort of very modest prize (which is yet to be determined). Simply reply to this thread with your guess on:
    Fastest lap time set by B.M.W. (official time sheet / results)
    Highest top speed (verified by GPS data acquisition system)

    There will be 2 'winners' in this mini contest; whomever is closest in time and closest in speed gets whatever prize I come up with. Post them here or on the thread on FB.





    (You mid-west peeps get all the luck with 2 great events this weekend! I don't mean to step on Cosmo's toes with the NASA event at Autobahn April 20-22, but if you are further north or prefer RA over autobahn, come on out!)

    Met a bunch of chump guys in Minneapolis a couple weeks ago. Good group of guys. They are all converting their cars for double duty (chump and SE30). Get on the bus, Nigel!

      Best of luck Mustache Werks. Fellow Chump here, '89 325i, maybe we'll see you at another midwest race this year. Will be at Brainerd, IA Speedway, and RA in Oct.

        ^We will be back to RA in October. After having 2 clutches go (1st one blew up in a rather spectacular fashion on Sat that took us out for 3 hours, 2nd on Sunday ended the day), I'm in for some retribution. We had the speed, but not the reliability...

        Big project before MIS in August is finding out WHY the car was eating clutches... Anyone have ideas? New clutch plate, disc, pilot and throwout bearing installed onto and engine/trans combo that came out of a perfectly good running car....
