Did anyone watch the Koni race this weekend?

On Speed on Saturday they showed the race from Daytona, and there was a Z4 roadster in the street touring class that lead for a few laps in the beginning. Anyone know who that is? Is it anyone here?

pretty awesome to see a z4 up front, i don't think it was an ///M because it was ST class and the M3's were running GT, but what do i know?

he was also running early 70's paint livery, light blue on orange..famous team, can't think of the name right now....aaarrgg!

Classic BMW - Plano

No. 85 BMW Z4.
It's got the Aero body kit. The roll cage looks pretty slick too.

Although the car started off as a white Z4 in 06 when they first started campaigning it. I believe the orange/silver/blue is new for 08 along with the body kit and the removed hard top.

is this a 3.0?

I believe it is.
I think they're running in the stock touring class, you can tell by the disgusting amount of body roll from the stock suspension. :P

Judging by the wheels / lights, its a 2.5, that surprises me, can they not run a 3.0 in that class?
