    Good read and makes you feel like you can do anything!

    Why can't all racing be this good? Why has it all become so complex. This guy had fun. Not the grumping, yelling, throwing, whining that I usually here...

    LOL.... Yes terrific story and the guy is from Chicago.

    We have about 40 PRO-3 BMW's racing in ICSCC and somebody just posted the same article on our club Forum. Great read!

    Default I'm just sitting here...

    ...smiling from ear to ear, green with envy! What a fantastic time! What a great outlook! This guy embodies what racing should be! No whining about a rules change diminishing his investment. No prima donna traveling with a masseuse, trainer and chef...just a guy out to go fast and have fun!
