128i race cars
Figure you guys might like seeing these. A couple pictures and video from VIR yesterday where both of these were running in the CTSC race. I only got pictures of these two but there were two others also racing. The white #23 car placed 4th in ST.
The engines looked to be stock with the euro/performance intake. I'm sure they're tuned and have full catless exhaust also. They sounded pretty good in race trim! 128i race car 1 by hoki06, on Flickr 128i race car 2 by hoki06, on Flickr 128i race car 3 by hoki06, on Flickr 128i race car 4 by hoki06, on Flickr 128i race car 5 by hoki06, on Flickr |

I was surprised at seeing the BMWPI's.
Any info as to what they're doing for brakes? I asked Keith Burton via email once, and he wasn't too keen to share. Racers. Always keeping their cards close to their chests. Last edited by Suprgnat; 08-24-2014 at 08:54 PM.. |

Awesome! I wonder how much those cars weight?
And I love that strut brace, it looks to still allow Camber adjustment. Do I also spy a damper reservoir? |

Unsure on the wheels and strut brace, probably a custom version of the 1M style brace. They were running 225/45/17 slicks. Also, check out the trick sway bar adjustment on the strut brace of the gray car. Nice way to make fast adjustment but still within the rules of no in-car adjustment. |

Regarding brakes
A quick search has shown me that 128i brake pads and 130i brake pads are probbaly the same amount of material and dimensions.

Cool pix, Eric!
I'm friends with one of the guys who crews/does admin work for Mitchum. If anyone has questions about the cars, I can try to get more info on 'em.
