82 photos are now in the gallery - http://bmwsport.net/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=184.  I just finished them, and should have about 580 when the gallery is complete - and a few full size photos available, just like this one:

Hello - surprise for everybody here. I've got about 600 pictures that will be posted to the gallery here in the next couple days. Downloaded all the pics, just have to copyright them. No BMW's were in the field though, but...there was a Ford GT in the mix - what a beaut. The race was awesome - only a couple crashes, few cars out, but was great - and the fan turnout was pretty good too. This picture below is free for anybody to download, but it is only half the original size - will have a lot uploaded soon.

Press releases soon to be posted again - I know I'm a bit behind, and I'm working on catching up...really...haven't been using my time wisely lately, but that will change.

Hey - don't think I  haven't been here - but the site is being transitioned to a new platform/server...and it's been taking months - it's up right now, but...I think there is still work to be done, but everything is working.  I will have a lot of updates here for you all.  I know it's hard coming here when the site has been down over 99% of the time, but that's all about to change - even if we have to move to another host.

I got rejected for media cred's at Sebring this year (2nd in a row).  Good news - I will be approved next year, because of the new M cars running in the ALMS for 2009.

I did, however, get approved for media creds for the GP of St. Pete taking place in April in St. Pete, FL - same event as last year.  Should have a bunch of good photos this time, but I'm not sure about any videos...unless I get a loaner from SOMEBODY!

Anybody want a free 8x10 photo?  first one to mail me with the link to the picture, gets it - just send me your addy and I'll have it there next week. (us only)

After two 6 hour races at Virginia International Raceway, TMS and BMW Emerge as Champions

ALTON, VA - October 7, 2007 -- A third-place finish by the #95 Turner Motorsport / H&R Springs / Borla Exhaust BMW 330i teammates Adam Burrows and Trevor Hopwood gave the New England duo their first professional championships and the Turner Motorsport team its second-consecutive Grand-Am KONI Challenge ST Team Championship.

Burrows and Hopwood ran in the lead pack for the entire grueling 6 hour race. The third-place finish gave Burrows and Hopwood an unmatched record of top-three podium finishes in half of the year's 12 races, including three second-place showings. Consistency and podiums were the key to success for the duo as they finished out of the top-10 only once in 2007 and had the most consistent record of any team in KONI ST competition. This weekend's finish was the fifth straight top ten and the 29th top ten finish for the #95 Turner BMW in the last 32 races stretching back to the 2005 season – a stunning 90% success rate for top-ten finishes.

"This is fantastic and just a huge relief," Burrows said. "We knew that we just had to focus on our own race, and it played out perfectly for us. I have to thank Will (Turner) for having the faith in us that he did. The whole Turner Motorsport organization is amazing. We had a perfect car every race this season."

For the Turner team, the ST crown follows last year's title that was earned by team owner Will Turner and his teammate Don Salama. The Turner team also won last year's team championship in the Grand-Am KONI Challenge GS class which gives them an impressive record run of three team championships in the last two years.

"Turner Motorsport has won championships before, and the whole team just kept their cool all weekend," Hopwood said. "We didn't know what to expect this year, but given how competitive this series is, we really didn't think we'd be ending the year by taking the championship. But we got off to a solid start at Daytona, and just kept building from there."

This is the 5th championship for Turner Motorsport in the last 5 years, continuing what has become a veritable dynasty for TMS Racing and BMW.

In a separate season-ending six hour race at VIR, Bill Auberlen and Chris Gleason won their third GS race of the year in the No. 96 Turner Motorsport / H&R Springs / StopTech Brakes BMW M3. Auberlen, who also co-drove with Joey Hand, led 20 laps to score his second-straight GS win with Turner Motorsport crossing the finish line 23.891 seconds ahead of his closest challenger.

The Grand-Am KONI Challenge GS Manufacturer Championship went to BMW sealing the crown on the strength of Turner Motorsport's four wins in 2007. BMW ended the year with 382 points, 22 points ahead of second-place finisher Ford.

"We came here to end the year with a win and take home a championship (for BMW)," Auberlen said. "I can't say enough about Turner Motorsport, they win wherever they go."

The Turner Motorsport BMW team enjoys the support of some fantastic aftermarket automotive parts companies - H&R Springs, StopTech Brakes, Borla Exhaust, Motul Lubricants, Pagid Brake Pads, and Piloti Driving Shoes. Each is a world-renowned champion in their respective fields and their contribution to the Turner Motorsport team is invaluable. Without their continued support, this victorious 2007 season could not have been possible. Turner Motorsport wishes to extend its sincere thanks to these outstanding partners of the TMS Racing program.
