    Shades of the IMSA drug smuggling scandal from the 80's with John Paul Jr and Sr, the Whittington Bros, and Randy Lanier, the 1984 IMSA GTP champion who is serving a life without parole sentence.

    The Chevrolet-powered March that beat the Group 44 Jags and Al Holbert/Derek Bell's Lowenbrau Porsche 962 for the championship...with drug money.

    But it was only pot.............:D

    To bad about Loles, but I hope he gets the max. I can not abide people like that. Abusing the trust people put in you to take care of their money.

    You can always find a bit of corruption here and there if you're willing to peer behind the curtains. In this case, it appears race series organizers did not, and the story of Loles involvement (or maybe orchestration?) in the embezzlement comes from elsewhere. He's been accused but I don't think he's been charged yet...fed investigation ongoing...so nothing certain yet re the outcome and team. They were planning to expand into the Grand-Am KONI (now Continental Tire) series next year. M3s though, so GS class and therefore not in competition with the RSR MINIs.

    Would you expect to see a BMW tech tuning the cars before the race?
