BMW CCA CLUB RACING
		Shorts

   Greetings from Florida 

As we get ready for the first BMW Club Race of the year in Florida, the " THE TIRE RACK BMW CCA Club Racing Grand Am Support Race Presented by Redline BMW Performance", there are many good things to report. We have issued 6 new Club Race Licenses and documented 5 new cars in response to the announcement. Ross Bleustein has a new E46 M3 entered. Ross will be a "Rookie" at our event but brings with him years of experience in PCA, POC and various professional series. He has competed numerous times in the 24 Hours of Daytona. James Cunningham is a local resident that has come up through the normal ranks of schools and is now ready for BMW CR. Jay Mauney and partner Don StJohn have joined the CR ranks and have brought a number of their customers from RTR Motorsportz to CR with them. Some of the longer-term members will also be joining us. Rennie Bryant will be competing in the Grassroots Motorsports Mini Cooper S. Bob and Rob Van Epps will be in their MP 325e and the "Family Feud" duo of Chris and Jeanne Irving will be there with their matched pair of KP 325is'. Steve Olsen from Houston and Doug Lee from Eagan, Minnesota will contest the long distance award.

Everglades Chapter members have supported this event and will have a BMW Corral set up.
