Alex's 1989 BMW 325is
| Alex's Story | ||
| I've known Alex pretty much ever since he moved here from Colorado several years ago. He's helped tremendously over that time, doing body work, maintenance , helping load up for races, checking tire pressures and keeping lap times. If such a small racing operation had a crew chief, Alex would be it. He's also an active member of the BMW CCA here in St. Louis and is currently the Club Secretary, Membership Chair and the Social Events Chair. | ||

| Durring the three day weekend, Alex and I raced together for the first time! The students were placed on the starting grid by the cheif instructors and then the other instructors were able to place themselves anywhere in that grid they wanted. So of course, put myself directly behind Alex. :) | ||

| It took a several laps, but I finally got around him... | Only to be passed on the front straight. | Alex's "is" has a little more power than my eta motor. |

 |
| while we were battling it out, the others caught up | and I left Alex and Brent to duke it out... | ...as I walked away from them. :) |

| The old '87 325e | ||
| When I first met him, he had a red '87 BMW 325e that was pretty much the twin of my 325. His of course was red and only had two doors.. | ||

 |
| But then he crashed it and sold what was left to a guy in Illinois. | ||
