Lexus IS300 to compete in the 25hrs. of Thunderhill

Well I did it..
I am pleased to announce that I have entered the Nickel Motorsports Lexus IS300 in the 25hrs. of Thunderhill this Dec. 4-6. This is the longest endurance race in North America and gains meida exposure from all over the world.This years race will also have coverage by Versus Television Network. We will be competing in the E0 class against an Army of BMW's. However we have a solid car and great driver line-up and are planning on a podium finish for our maiden race.
We will also be conducting an awareness campaign for the Race To Cure Lymphoma, as I was just diagnosed this last week. Drivers include, Alex Ratcliffe (World-Challenge),Beau Borders (Koni Challenge), John Klusendorff (Porsche Driver), And Tim Nickel (SCCA/Nasa).

We also have sponsorship opportunities available for this race. If you think you might be interested or know of anyone that might be interested. Please

25Hrs.

Thanks guys, Actually the lymphoma has now been changed to Adenocarcinoma (cancer of the esophogus). But I am staying hopeful that it can be treated. As for the race we are keeping our heads up and staying focused. If you would like to see pictures or video before you can check out my myspace page under nickelmotorsports or go to my facebook under Tim Nickel I have some in car camera stuff picturs of the car there..

Tim, great luck and success with both the race and your Adenocarcinoma. Sorry to hear about that. Is that something that developed from like acid reflux or stomach problems? Just wondering, that's something that me and my doctor went over because I have Esophagitis.

I would love to hear more about the race and see some pictures and videos. I like following IS300 racers from around the world. I'll submit a friend request from facebook.

Cheers.

My friends dad was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma, he's recently gotten much better and is doing fine now. It's tough work but if you can dominate the 25hrs. of Thunderhill, you can dominate anything.

Good luck, and I'll be rooting for you on multiple levels!
