Ah, one of them huh. Just kidding. There are a few people on here involved in GA/Koni. Billy Johnson (Compass 360) posts here every once and a while. Paul Stoddard is around (Fountain Motorsports). JJVincent owns V-Pack. If I remember there was someone with BGB too.
jjvincent 01-07-2008, 05:53 PM I'll be there, just look for this guy looking up the ratios on his custom built quick change ratio E46 diff:

JBgotM 01-07-2008, 06:15 PM I'll be there. My fiance' will be with me. I would work F&C (flagging and communication, corner worker) if she wasn't going.
Anyone have a list of radio frequencies for the race? If not, I will just wait and get one there.
getfast 01-07-2008, 11:44 PM I'll be down there working T&S again. Just got home from the test days actually.
Can't wait,
Jon

Nice ride! Didn't realize you weren't with Compass360 anymore. Also didnt realize you were with Tom Jr. I guess that is why Karl had to pick up Adam and Trevor. :shifty
Good luck this year, hopefully I will be able to say hi at some point this year.
getfast 01-08-2008, 12:22 AM Ah yes, that 997 is familiar... tell Marcus I said hello. :D

4SFED 01-12-2008, 11:32 AM I'll be there as well with the TRG circus. I've got the 41 car in GS with Scott Schroeder and Andy Lally.

that gives me an idea. if we could get all the BF.c guys to put some kind of sign up or something like that so we would know where everyone was at. or maybe designate a time and meet up in the garages or something. I don't know, maybe I just want to hang out at one of the campers.:help

n3wbie 01-25-2008, 04:06 AM wish i could go to support my buddies :(
They'll be in the #83 Farbacher Loles Car
dhabes 01-25-2008, 07:33 AM Good luck to my high school buddy Brad Jaeger who is driving the Kodak Doran DP all season with Memo Gidley.
Also, good luck to all the BMWs in Koni. Fall-Line is on the pole for todays race. Also good to see Cincy based Wright Motorsports qualify 2nd. Looks like the TMS M3s were a little off pace, will be interesting to see how they do in the race.
slopokdave 01-25-2008, 11:25 AM Looks like no M3s this year in the 24hr race? But, we do get to see an M6..... assuming it stays together.
B.Watts 01-25-2008, 11:34 AM But, we do get to see an M6..... assuming it stays together.
No real reason to expect that it won't other than potential first race teething problems with small systems. The "big" items are already proven...proven Riley chassis and proven M5 motor (same motor that has been used for years in DP's).

Oh I don't doubt that mechanically it will... but... Sh*t always happens out there and someone takes out your favorite car! :P

RahgBag 01-27-2008, 11:10 AM I'm there, working gates and such. Got some pics up in Rides and Styling. Saw the Fello's car too, along with lots of other sweet ones!
I got to go in the pits and in the garage, up close and personal with those 2 e46 m's from the Koni and the M6 from the Rolex. Amazing machines.
