Starting the season with a road trip to San Diego, SCR Performance owner and President, Mark Baer, took a commanding win in B-Street Prepared in SCCA Solo national competition during the San Diego National Tour event.
The site of the San Diego Tour, Jack Murphy Stadium (aka Qualcomm Stadium), is noteworthy for its substantial elevation change, bringing an element to solo not normally encountered. Further, the large size of the lot allows for courses upwards of 60 seconds, as well as substantial on- and off-camber elements that each driver must master.
Mark mastered all of these elements in the SCR Performance BSP BMW M3, jumping out to nearly a 3-second lead after the dust settled on day 1. Mark never looked back, extending his lead on Day 2 to take the win.
Over on the D-Street Prepared side were SCR drivers David Jobusch and Lee Michael, driving the BMW 325is simply known as “the red car.” The red car was given a new heart over the winter, and with new power in hand, David finished day 1 in second place, barely tenths ahead of the infamous Mark Smith, also from Colorado. David was not quite able to maintain his lead on day 2, however, and found himself a few tenths adrift of Smith, having to settle for third place, but a well-earned trophy. Lee Michael consolidated a good finish for the red car, finishing in 4th position behind his co-driver.
