Miller Racing Association 3 hour Enduro

CA sport raced Byron's new Spec E-35 325 BMW in the first annual MPRA enduro this weekend. We ran the outer loop at Miller, which seems to be everyone's favorite configuration. Byron drove first and since it was a brand-new (race car, that is) car we weren't sure how long it would go on a tank of fuel. He ended up driving for an hour and 45 minutes! Way to go Byron—it happened to be his birthday too. Since the car didn't have power steering that was a really impressive drive. Due to a miss-calculation in our mandatory 5-minute pit stop, we had to come into the pits and sit for 5 minutes, costing us the lead in the under category. We finished second, and added more insight into our racing education.

While it wasn't a huge turnout, it was a good one, and a beautiful day. With mixed classes it made for more entertainment, but every time a GT3 cup car zoomed past me I have to admit I wished I was in it. Or, maybe just a fast Evo . . .
