All German Motorsports takes overall San Felipe 250

All German Motorsports takes overall win at 2010 San Felipe 250. Only the third time since the creation of the Trophy Truck class 17 years ago a Class One car has captured the overall win in San Felipe. The All German Motorsports team, led by Martin Christensen and Armin Schwarz, started out the week pre-running the rough 248 mile San Felipe course. Navigators Bryan Lyttle and Tyler Irwin were saddled with the daunting task of creating the race notes from the information gathered during the pre-run. Once pre-running was complete, final preparation of the car is addressed. Prepping the car to last even 250 miles can be a challenge, but the All German Motorsports team is up for a challenge. Team members like Greg Grassmann, Sam Osman, Peter Oostra, Jake Holdridge and a host of others enable the team to operate at the this level of racing. The team spent Friday getting the fleet of BFG equipped vehicles ready for the brutal 248 mile race by prepping CV’s, checking shocks, applying sponsor stickers and stocking the chase trucks. With 14 chase and support vehicles involved, it is an enormous task. This is where almost 50 team members chip in to do their part.

All German Motorsports was the first Class One car to leave the line on Saturday. With only 248 miles of racing, the organizers chose some of the roughest terrain Baja has to offer. Heavy dust from more than 30 Trophy Trucks in front would lead them on the course. Armin Schwarz and Bryan Lyttle were first to pilot the BMW powered Jimco. With no scheduled stops until the driver change at RM 150, Armin was able to settle into a smooth pace.
Armin Schwarz, being a seasoned racer, knew to sit back and race his race. He delivered a sound car to Martin Christensen and Tyler Irwin at RM 150, and within 40 seconds, the car was fueled, drivers changed and back on the course. Martin and Tyler would take the car all the way to the finish.

Shortly after this pass the AGM BMW powered Jimco Buggy reaches a top speed of 127 mph during this 4 minutes straight pedal to the medal section! At this speed, on this terrain, it was estimated there was up to 15% tire slippage. Do your numbers to find out to what speed the BMW E39 could push the Class 1 unlimited open-wheel racer without slippage….

A few hours and two rocky washes later, Jesse Jones would cross the finish line 1st in his #76 Trophy Truck with Robby Gordon 2nd in his # 1 Trophy Truck and a mere 20 seconds behind in 3rd, Martin Christensen in his #101 AGM Class One. With the time correction, AGM had a 4:02 lead over 2nd place Jesse Jones. (Official result pending data review / 18. March 2010 / 16:00hr)
