High-Performance sports cars challenge BIR's road course

(May 23, 2010) - BIR's Competition Road Course was buzzing this weekend with the unmistakable sounds of high-performance sports cars from the National Auto Sport Association (NASA) during the NASA Midwest Regional Race. By the end of Sunday, John Boos had posted the fastest lap times during the three Lightning Races, winning the Super Touring 1 Class Saturday by covering the 2.5-mile track in 1:37.309 and a lap speed of 92.489 mph.

Boos was among drivers from throughout the country who came to compete for series points. Fan were treated to some exciting wheel-to-wheel action by Camaros, Corvettes, Mustangs, BMWs, Mazda Miatas, Audi Quattros and more. Racing on the 13-turn, 2.5-mile road course was a timed event, where drivers raced for 30 minutes, and the winners in each class were determined by their fastest lap time.
