He had a DNF with an "off track" report in race 1 and DNF "mechanical" race 2. Not uncommon for a new car to have problems. The new LG Camaro did better with P11 and P17 finishes. We had P7 and P8 finishes and were the fastest Mustangs this past weekend.

We had a great time, I was holding back on the practice and Qualifying and was able to get a decent time. I wanted to make it through this race with no scratches...lol I did. In the race I started 15th out of 25 and made it up to 12th in 4 laps but a half shaft failure took my car out. It kind of stinks but at least I got to race and work my way up with some respectable lap times. Also my diff started going, every corner I was losing traction with my inside wheel spinning. Second race I started fine, passed a BMW and a 370 then started hearing a noise in the back end. Well I made it another lap and it went out again, same problem. When we went back to the pits the GM racing techs came over to see what happened. They told me they are thinking it is coming from the diff. So we will be getting a new diff and changing the axles again. Testing at a FARA racing in 2 weeks then NASA at Sebring in 4 weeks. Next Pro event COTA in May. All in all I feel we did great for the first Pro event running mid pack times with much passing and no incidents. I had a great time meeting all the other Pro drivers who welcomed me to the series and made some friends. I will push it harder for the next event.

That is an AWESOME video... Great pass at the 1:30 mark.

BPPRacingTeam · 04-01-2013, 11:19 PM

Thank you. I was catching 11th but then we had the half shaft problem. Next time. I actually am racing this weekend at Homestead Speedway with FARA but driving my B-Spec Mazda2 to practice for COTA ( racing both cars at COTA) April 27-28 racing NASA at Sebring racing the camaro in American Iron

AdamZ · 04-02-2013, 12:52 AM

I personally think, when your in Ohio, you should talk to your people and get my car next to yours for a photo op

Would be epic.......for me

BPPRacingTeam · 04-02-2013, 08:47 AM

We can do that, it would look cool.
