Wonderful first Win for Nick Bjoin, in such a difficult class, PAX ... doing his FIRST four laps in the Ex Toby FP BMW

The old lift the tire over the base of the cone trick ....

Congrats Nick!


One minor comment, your numbers are hard to read at speed, several work stations were only able to call in "the orange BMW". A black outline would make all the difference.

Congrats Nick, I knew you and Henry would do well in that car!
There's no doubt in my mind there's more National titles to be won with it.

Congratulations Nick, Henry and Toby! What a way to start out with the new car!

Purchase justified!


Great driving Nick!

Told ya so.

Put a great driver in a great car and see what happens!.
Nice driving Nick!

Thanks guys! And a huge thanks to Toby, who has just been really generous with his time and effort, doing everything he can to help us hit the ground running. His work is brilliant and the car is a real thrill; when BMW refers to "the ultimate driving machine," they have no idea.

Also credit to Kurt for a very fun and favorable course. }:)

Great driving on a tough course, Nick. Congrats! I saw the grin on your face as you left the venue Sunday night. Well deserved!

Nick's Number 1 Post! :gpower:

Great job, Nick!

My g*d. First time in the car, seat that isn't adjusted right for you and you ANNIHILATE a field made up of something like 10 national champs. Great driving,
Nick! I'm proud to say that I was one of your Evolution Performance Driving School students from when, only two years ago? "I knew you when"!

So that explains why Bill seems to be doing better of late...

Serious congrats to Nick, nicely done sir!

Makes sense to me.....I guess

Seriously, great job Nick. Your dad came over to talk to us Porsche snobs on the other runway to give us the news, and he was just bursting with pride in your accomplishment - literally beaming ear-to-ear. Looking a lot like this --->

Congrats!

Well done Nick - that's a pretty amazing accomplishment

See...you dispelled the myth that nice guys finish last. Sometimes, they actually win. CONGRATULATIONS!
I'm sure more wins are coming.

The gap was pretty big as well at about 8/10ths if I remember correctly. In an indexed class against some the country's best, I kept having to double check if I was reading the announce screen right!

HIGH FIVE!

Why are IT guys so fast?

They live in their mom's basement, have no friends and don't talk to girls, giving them lots of time for computers and cars.

IT? that looks like an avid video editor.

In this house, anything and everything to do with computers!

Yeah that's TV, not IT. And unless you can hack into timing, I'm sure that doesn't make you faster.

Terrific job Nick. Good for you!

Wait, there's a way to hack into timing?! I have a need for this in the beginning of September...
