RMW/Ian Stewart Tune and Drive School!!!

Who'd like to attend a RMW/Ian Stewart Tune and Drive School at Carolina Motorsports Park OCT/Nov?!!!

Jan from Revolution Mini Works will be on hand at the track with a complete Dyno set-up to work his well documented magic tuning our cars and have his latest High Performance parts for everyone to see!! While he's making his music, Ian Stewart who just set a track record in the Maitland Imports RMW Mini at Road Atlanta will be running a track school on CMP!!! You'll be able to do the track school or a tune or both!!! So post up and let us know if you would like this to happen!!!

For your reading enjoyment I've posted below a brief history of Ian's racing and instructing career!! In short THE GUY CAN DRIVE!!!


Started Autocrossing in 1998 attended my first solo nationals in 2001.
Won my first National Tour in 2003, Finished 3rd in largest class in 2003 (honda S2000) aginst Jason Saini beating him twice that year. I was also the B-Stock Southeast Champion in 2003. Won Numerious national events through 04,05, and 06 finishing as a bridesmate (2nd place) in SM2 (300whp miata), and SuperStock(911 GT3) twice. Each year SuperStock broke records having nearly 60 drivers competeting for a national championship. Won the ProSolo Championship in STU in a BMW M3 in 2005. In 2006 and 2007 I was also one of the "pro" drivers for the Grassroots Motorsports $200X challenge. In 2007 I decided to go road racing in SCCA Showroom Stock C while obtaining my SCCA National License I went undefeated in Showroom Stock C regional races. I also Finished 2nd in the Chevy Rev it up Orlando and was the 2nd highest qualifier nationally in a Cobalt. Also in 2007 I went Undefeated in SuperStock in ProSolo and National Tour events capping it off winning the 2007 ProSolo and National Championship in a 911 GT3. I was also voted SCCA Solo Driver of the year and received my award at the National Convention in San Antionio Texas. In 2008 I started SCCA National Club Races Winning 2 Nationals and setting fastest Lap in 5 races while setting two track records in SSC and T3. I competeted at the runoffs and was the highest placing rookie in SSC finishing 5th. In T3 I was hit on the first lap and battled from last back to 9th place. In 2008 I was picked up by OS Giken to use their products on all race cars where their products are allowed. Also in 2008 we brought a virtually stock 911 GT3 to a 4th place finish in the one lap of america having practiced on only one track previous to the event. In 2009 I continued road racing in T3 and SSC. In T3 I set the track records at 2 more tracks and had 4 wins out of 5 races. I also finished 2nd overall in the One Lap Of America in a 911 GT2. I've also set 2 track records in NASA's TTC along the way wining 3 out of the 4 events I've attended in TTC.

Have to be a BLAST!!! Ian instructing and Jan tuning at the TRACK, talk about instant gratification!!! When you've finished the event, you'll leave being a better driver and have a better car, what more could a true enthusiast want?


Well...maybe flag girls...
