If you get a chance, drop in from time to time to let us know what you're up to at the track.

I sure will. I've driven this car once this year, my main car has been the Spec Miata. After doing a few member races and some NASA events, I can definitely say that those SM guys know how to race! I'll be taking the M240i out this weekend for a few session to dial in the suspension and see if we can make it any faster.

Indeed they do. Online, I find in-car SM race videos to be the most exciting to watch. SM is generally the most competitive and the cheapest way to go racing - a win-win for sure. Have fun with it!

Before the 2008 financial melt-down, the race shop I used in the Northeast was building national championship-level SM cars. The owner had raced everything on dirt and pavement, all the way from quarter-midgets, modifieds, and sprint cars on up to an Indy car. He told me more than once about his SM racing, always emphasizing that everything was so equal that a tiny difference in car prep, driver talent, or racecraft was needed to move up in those races. It sounded exciting as all get-out.

I think your car is very well-priced. Hopefully, someone who wants to track a 2 Series and can appreciate the build will see this listing and snap it up. For me, I see 3-way MCS and start salivating! Good luck with the sale.
