Nuts- I completely spaced out and missed the 200. I see that BMW ended up 5th and 6th after the winner was DQ'd.

Anybody see to race? Lots of other marques placed behind the two BMWs that started (apparently two other BMWs did not start).

This winter has me down- can't wait for clear roads.

The BMWs did very well, but didn't get a whole lot of coverage. Their results were bolstered by Crashes, DNFs and other issues for front runners. Three of the four BMWs started the race. Nate Kern had been injured in a morning get off, so he did not start. Two of the three crashed on the first lap. Of the two Brian Parriott picked up his bike and went from dead last to sixth place. The other rider choose to not continue, although I am not sure why. All in all they did very well with essentially a stock engine.
