Schaut Speed Racing Blog

Earlier this week, Brock finished up the entry list and gave out the car numbers.  For all of you watching out there, Schaut Speed Racing will be piloting the #21 BMW M3 in the Luxury Sedan class.

While the final entry list wont be known until sometime on Friday (there always seems to be a few last minute changes and surprises!), we at least have a preliminary car count and direct competitor list.

So far there are 69 teams entered, 5 of which will be competing in the Luxury Sedan Class.  What, you ask, is our main competition driving?

1998 BMW M3

1998 BMW 750iL

2009 Cadillac CTS-V

2010 Porsche Panamera

Should be a fun field.  This is the second year for the Caddy.  I had a chance to drive one of those out at Waterford Hills Racway this past weekend.  Holy Cow do those things have some P-O-W-E-R!!!!!  I’ve heard a lot of good things about that Porsche - it may be strange to see a Porsche car with 4 doors, but I they look to be rockets too!  With what I learned last year driving the E90 M3, those other BMWs will be strong as wel!

Like I said, its going to be a fun one!

With this years One Lap of America less than 2 days away, excitement in the Schaut Speed Racing camp is building! Tomorrow, as will most teams, Dan and Ben will arrive in South Bend, IN from Wausau and Detroit. Friday amidst registration and last minute prep (including cleverly disguising our BMW as a race car…. GO #21!!!!), Nick will arrive from Boston.

Car prep and upgrades have been done.

Routes have been prepared.

Tracks have been studied.

Packing has commenced.

And preemptive extra sleep has, well, not really happened… I guess I’m just getting ready for the week!

Stay tuned - its about to get Screaming Fast!
