This weekend the Tudor United SportsCar Championship racing made it's way over to Long Beach, California. This is the second year of the race series and the 3rd circuit after Dayton and Sebring. There are 4 classes in the United SportsCar Championship ser...  

They had a raffle for a hot lap in the C7.R with one of the Corvette race car drivers. Wish I would have won that :) Thanks for reading Nicolas. Regards, ED-209

Thanks for sharing the pics, Long Beach GP is always fun to attend. You got Spam Musubi? Cool! A few years back when we were in Oahu we spotted the Spam-mobile! -MW

Corvette does a great job every year since I've been attending. And the SoCal Corvette enthusiasts really show their dedication. We had 100 Corvettes. There was a BMW and new Bentley Corral's this year, but surprisingly both were sparsely populated. Spam ... 

. . . there were unexpected issues that cropped up; otherwise, I was planning on attending Saturday afternoon. Here's hoping for next year! Art

Reminds me of when I attended the Long Beach Grand Prix with you and other fellow PuristS at the Corvette Corral. I probably would've never made it inside the tent, the 100 Corvette cars would've taken two hours just to look over each car individually!

They only had a few cars in the BMW Corral. Hope you can make it next year. On a lighter note, it was the first win for BMW in the GTLM class this year. Regards, ED-209

Ahh, the BMW people... Well, I'd think the Corvette group would be more interesting and more involved. I remember last year you mentioned they had technical educational seminars about tires etc. The BMW Corral might've been more empty because it was less ... 

I wish more BMW enthusiasts (I know that there are plenty in SoCal) would have supported BMW's efforts of sponsoring a corral. Great parking and they could have cheered on the BMW that won it's first race of the season. BMW had a very small tent with 2 st... 

It's a big year for BMW (their centenary) as the company recognizes it was founded in 1916 (although some historians would argue even earlier than that).

BMW's 100 year anniversary next year will be big, hope they plan on some epic showcases of cars at Pebble Beach next year. Regards, ED-209

And I hope you'll make it up to Pebble to celebrate with all the BMW crazies!

Both the BMW and Bentley corrals were sparse. Wish more enthusiasts would have taken advantage of the great parking location. Bentley only had about 6 cars, BMW about the same. There were plenty of more spaces :( Hope you and Patrick can attend next year ...  

If BMW only had a small staff of two, and no educational seminars, I'd go to Corvette. The passion is for cars in general, and I'm not held to a specific brand. If Bentley has any interesting seminars, that'd be worthwhile to consider as well. Although co...
