Website Updates
Over the winter I will be making quite a few changes to our website.  I already finished one of those tasks by making an external Gallery which will make my job much easier in the future.  Check it out and post any comments you have on the Forum.

Member Gary is Famous!
Another one of Gary's car has made another magazine.  This time, his E30 Schnitzer Replica 325i has made BMWCAR.  Check out the pictures and thread on the Forum.  Congratulations, Gary!

ASNW 2010 Season Trophy Results
This was nwBMWclub's second full season racing with Auto Sports Northwest and it was a successful one to say the least.  We finished with 7 Season Trophy's and a couple more members were within mere points of winning one as well.

- James H First Place in Stock 2
- Saleem B Second Place in Stock 2
- Doug N Second Place in Non-Stock 1
- Adam H Third Place in Non-Stock 1
- David M First Place in Non-Stock 2
- Bailey S Third Place in Non-Stock 2
- Kevin R First Place in Street Tire

Michon D would have likely won a trophy had he kept racing his M3 but it just wasn't in the cards for him.  Rodd T did not complete in the same class all year so he also was just short of taking home another trophy.  I expect 2011 to be even better as a lot of the projects our members working on are nearing completion. 

Rodd did win the season PAX points though and James, David, Doug and Adam finished 6th-9th overall.  Michon finished just outside of the top 10 at 11th place for the season.

ASNW 2010 National Auto Cross Results
The final event of the season was a huge success with the most racers we have seen all year (80+).  Logr and ASNW put on an excellent event at Spokane County Raceway and we cannot thank them enough.  Lots of runs + a long course made it extremely challenging weekend (I even went off and nearly hit the embankment on Sunday.)  nwBMWclub once again did excellent and finished with 6 Trophy Finishes giving us a total of 89 for the 2010 season.

- 4 First Place Finishes (James H S2, David M NS2, Kevin R Tire, & Nic B NST)
- 2 Second Place Finishes (Kyle K S2, Doug N NS1)

Doug, Adam and James finished 8-10th overall in PAX out of 83.

Montana Run 5 Wrap-Up
Our 5th Annual Montana Run came and went and luckily, the weather held up for us.  I want to thank everyone who came out and made this event happen especially those who come all the way from the Seattle/Portland area just to make this drive.  This year I believe we found the perfect route that will continue to make this drive a success for years to come.

Thank you everyone for a great 2010 Year!
