Your old BMW race car from the 1988 12 Hours of Sebring is featured in a Speedhunters post (Scroll about halfway down):

Love the pics. That was a time where I actually cared about other people racing cars.

Cool stuff. I had a radio controlled car with a Porsche 862 body. Ah, the memories...

Great pics! I love some of the "production" based racers from that era.

^^ Man, wouldn't it be awesome if every ST165 had looked like that? ^^ I'm guessing this and the Celi were RWD and had next-to-nothing to do with the roadgoing versions... What did they use for engines?

These are cool too:

Pretty sure the only time the clown gets on the board is to toot his own big stupid clown horn.

I worked on that ratty looking Camaro, #81! Kenny Bupp's car. It looked a LOT better at the start of the race.
