FALL-LINE MOTORSPORTS LOOKS TO FINISH 2009 SEASON ON POSITIVE NOTE AT 25
HOURS OF THUNDERHILL
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Northbrook, IL (Dec. 1, 2009) On December 5-6,
Fall-Line Motorsports looks to conquer a long and grueling 25 hour endurance
race that had been known as "The most severe endurance race on the planet,"
as well as race for a good cause, to once again raise at least $25,000 per
car, for a total goal of at least $50,000, in the "Drive for 25" for the
Shriners Hospital for Children.
For the second straight year, Fall-Line Motorsports and Shriners Hospital
for Children will team up for the "Drive for 25" charity event in NASA's 25
Hours of Thunderhill. This is a lap-for-lap challenge in which the team will
raise money for each lap run. For more information, and to donate to the
"Drive for 25," please visit www.donate2shc.org/drivefor25.
Last year, Fall-Line looked to win the 25 Hours of Thunderhill with a
dominating lead, but with about 5 hours left in the race, the team retired
with mechanical issues. This year, with a roster of drivers that can read as
a "Who's Who of Road Racing," the team is ready to take on Thunderhill
Raceway Park, with dreams of an overall win in their two BMW E46 M3's.
The Trim-Tex, Hoosier Tires, Fall-Line powered BMW E46 M3 will make its
second appearance at the 25 Hours of Thunderhill and will be piloted by Joe
Koenig of Glenview, IL; Mark Boden of Winnetka, IL; Gunter Schaldach of
Aspen, CO; and Mike Borkowski of Miami, FL. This will be the second time
that motorcycle racer turned auto racer Joe Koenig and Fall-Line Motorsports
owner Mark Boden will race the 25 Hours of Thunderhill together, and both
are looking to take an overall win, after leading a good portion of the race
last year. Joining Joe and Mark will be 2008 SPEED World Challenge GT Rookie
of the Year Gunter Schaldach and 1997 Trans-Am Rookie of the Year Mike
Borkowski, who earlier this season teamed with Fall-Line, and Schaldach, to
finish seventh at Miller Motorsports Park in the Grand-Am Koni Challenge
race there.
The second Fall-Line powered BMW E46 M3, sponsored by Weather Tech and the
Barrington Concours will be driven by 2009 SCCA Touring 2 Central Division
champion Jim Hamman of Barrington, IL; 2009 SCCA STO Central Division
champion Tom Herb of Barrington, IL; 2008 June Sprints champion David
