A little different perspective..... from the BMW’s rear camera... I had to chop 23 minutes of the 26 minute video — since we led that much of the race. LOL


GIDDY UP!!

what kind of BMW was able to hang with the Missile?

There were some quick little 3 series race cars that were putting down some good times at the NASA event. Also, remember that the Dirt Missile isn't fully sorted and is running in the mid to low 1:40s at Sonoma right now, which is quick, but there are still a good amount of cars that can pull off those lap times. Once Greg and team have a chance to make a few of the proposed changes by Darrell Anderson, it might be good for high 1:30s, which a lot less cars could keep up with...

Our SCCA run group was “led” by a GT2 Corvette — a super nice one built for the world challenge - it kicked our buts running 1:39’s but he dropped out about 2nd lap in .....

Dave Gordon or Rob Dickey may have gotten pics of the BMW (SCCA ITE class). We seemed to be neck and neck in qualifying and the actual races. I have more video to post.

This. It's a bad ass little sorted wide body. Driven by a very capable driver. It dominates the local ITE class right now from what I can see.

NO substitute for brute horsepower! BMW stood no chance in the straights.

You wanna go fast in the straights you need more horsepower — you wanna go fast EVERYWHERE - you need LESS WEIGHT

Greg, what does the car weigh and are there any places where you think reductions can be made? I'm about to wear out my hole saw on my car. LOL Thanks.

Kurt Urban built me one heck of a motor!

I second that.
