Bimmerforums member TomM won his first career Grand Am race this weekend. :buttrock :buttrock

Boris Said and Joey Hand finished second in the race. Bill Auberlen and Justin Marks had fuel pump problems and finished 6th, leaving Said and Auberlen tied for the class championship. Since Auberlen won more races throughout the season, the championship was awarded to him.

Good job Tom and PTG. :alright

Congrats Tom, my offer to co-drive is still out there if you are interested :D

I turned the race on yesterday and it was almost done. I didn't know Tom was winning until the very end when the announcer said Tom won his first race. I started cheering and my wife looked at me like I was crazy... like the time she caught me playing GT3 with my helmet and gloves on. :D

Way to go Tom, and congrats!!!! :clap

Way to go Tom! Didn't take long to settle in and go fast :)

Congrats... awesome job!

I <3 Tom! ;)

Nice job Tom!

Just found out this weekend that I know your cousin, James Milner. I had never made the connection in the past.

Congrats Tom!

Congrats Tom :redspot :buttrock :alright That car must haul - Bill was saying with the better aero treatement on that car, that it's 6 mph faster on the oval than his :eyecrazy

- I was going to say "hi" when I was down at the pit stall, but it was right when Bill came in with the fuel pump relay problem, so I just stayed clear.

My friend Dan was there taking pics:

Thanks guys.

We had a trouble free race and in the end were able to just barely stretch the fuel to the end. The dash showed .8 fuel remaining, and on a decent lap the car would consume about .6, so it was damn near empty at the end.

Definatly looking forward to next year. :D

More pics, please!!

A couple more pics on this thread, but unfortunately have to wait until Dan gets back and post a boat load:
