12.3 second drag run at the GRM challenge
This is our first of many videos that I will be uploading. This was our second run of the day. I ran a 12.9 on the first run, The car ran better than expected, and it really hooked up well in first and second gears, compared to last year(thanks John for the drag setup pointers), I hot lapped it and went straight to the line for run #2. Little did I know that we were going to loose the hood on this run ;) We ended up running our best time at the event, a 12.3 sec drag run at 117 mph. The car has an HX35 running 21lbs of boost with a Stock m20 motor. Tuning was done with the stock motronic and a 535 AFM. We blew the Head-gasket on the next run(3rd and final)! Have you ever seen a bunch of people celebrating the ripping off of a hood? Get ready to... (In reality we were happy about our time,...no really we were ;)

So we're back from our 4th year at the challenge.
We had an amazing time hanging out with all of our old friends, and we were happy to have made some good new ones. Every time we go to the challenge we have the best time hanging with REAL people that love cars and are passionate about wrenching! We are happy to report that we duplicated our results from last year, 3rd overall, and 2nd in the Autox, plus we finished 3rd in the concourse this year, which was no easy feat!

Jimmy and i got together to create a build video to document the 4 years it took us to get the car from a normal every day BMW to a full on turbo track monster, which runs 12.3's in the drags. Another sweet prize for this year was winning admission to the UTCC at Virginia International Raceway in July of 2011!
I haven't posted updates to my blog in a while, because we were trying to keep things secret from a certain team that will remain nameless
... I will say that their car looked a lot like ours did (hey!). In any case, we have a lot of respect for those guys, and were flattered that they used our 09 car as inspiration for their build. Hopefully they will return more competitive next year. I will post all the previous build updates, and videos in the near future.
