It’s that time of year again. SEMA 2016 is here and just like every year, we intend to bring the boom! Our theme this year is #BMWTAKEOVER. We will be featuring the world debut of 2 fully built BMW race cars. The wide-body BMW M4 Endurance Racecar by Yost Autosport (Las Vegas, NV) and a custom wide-body E46 M3 Racecar with an E92 M3 swap by Pure Performance (Orange County, CA). We will also be introducing several new cooling systems for 2017.
Endurance racing – the ultimate test of man and machine working together. Competing against other teams, the elements, and numerous unexpected variables in order to survive the grueling battle against the clock. Sometimes these endurance races last 4-6 hours, maybe even twelve. If your willpower matches your skillset, and the preparation of your vehicle is on par with the best in motorsports, you step it up to a race that last more than a full day – The 25 Hours of Thunderhill.
It’s about time that I finally made it out to check out what a CSCS event is all about. While visiting CSF’s distribution facility in Toronto last week, I was able to attend the final round of the 2014 Canadian Sports Car Championship Series (CSCS). Based out of Ontario, Canada, this series has amassed quite a following from all over the country’s most populated province. The top levels of competition hold their own with drivers also traveling north from New York and Michigan, to compete in the Time Attack, drag racing, and drifting events of CSCS. Also included in this last event was the car show component that brought out quite a crowd to enjoy the perfect fall weather at the Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga Falls, Ontario.
I just had to do it!! I couldn’t resist not sharing my 1st experience from the West Coast Bimmerfest 2014 held back in May at the Rose Bowl in sunny Pasadena, California. Like a young boy going to his first “dance”, I had no idea what to expect, but when looking back on the event, I was dame sure excited to go!
