The best thing about winter is we get to go to Sebring!

Enduro

87 cars started the enduro and I qualified 30th with a 2:21 - a personal best for me. There are no points for BMW CCA in this race so it's all about having fun. On the start I found myself surrounded by Vipers, Corvettes, Porsche Cup cars, and various prototypes. With everything on the track from prototypes to Miatas there was quite a bit of carnage. We had three full course yellows starting in just the second lap. With that many restarts, I was able to make up quite a lot of ground. The track is bumpy. It turns out I broke my diff subframe, but the German Motorwerks guys were able to fix it without too much trouble.

I ultimately finished 9th overall with a best lap of 2:20.5 - another personal best. This is a bit misleading because the prototypes only race the first 60 min. But it was still first among BMW and I think pretty good for a BMW in that company. Anyway... This race was seriously fun.

Sprint 1

Sprint 1 was a BMW CCA points race and the C-Mod cars were the fastest class. Randy Mueller had pole and was a second or two faster than Allen Lewis and I until he broke on the last lap. Allan and I battled it out for what ended up with Allan winning and my coming 2nd.

I might have been able to keep up the pressure except I was quickly running out of gas. This is still a relatively new engine for me and I do not yet have a handle on fuel consumption. 7/10ths of a tank is not enough to run 30 minutes. I'll get it right next time.

Sprint 2

Sprint 2 was similar to Sprint 1 except Randy didn't break this time. Allan and I fought it out for 2nd and 3rd both ending up with fast 2:19.6 laps only 6/100ths of a second apart! I go the last word and finished 2nd to Allan's 3rd. We changed positions so many times we lost count. Now we both have to go back and figure out how to spend more money... This has to be one my closest races to date.
