The Score International Primm 300 race is a very special race for driver Armin Schwarz; its where the obsession began for him. In 2006 he was invited to the race, as a spectator, by partners of AGM; Armin was immediately hooked. Since then, Armin and Martin have won 1st in class in 2008, 2009 and now 2010. The back to back to back wins are unheard of in this level of racing. Armin Schwarz started off in the #107 BMW powered JIMCO with navigator Bryan Lyttle. Armin Kramer and navigator Sam Osman would go off the line four minutes later in the #111 car. Both Navigators would stay in for the duration of the race, while both drivers would run the first two laps before handing the cars over to teammates Martin Christensen and Andy Aigner, respectively. Its important to note that in a lap race such as this, the course tends to degrade and the bumps become more severe as the race goes on. Both AGM Jimco cars are equipped with Bilstein shocks and BFG tires, so they are setup to handle the punishment. “It takes more than just a big budget, the best equipment and the will ...

Due to heightened security concerns by countries world-wide, in-bound shipments to the USA are increasingly taking longer to arrange. The equipment supplied by IRC required to post electronic tracking of the vehicles involved in the Parker 425 will not be available for this event as the equipment is currently held up in France on the return trip from the Dakar race. Because of Best in the Desert’s on-board scoring transponders, and the army of personnel on the course, race scoring will not be affected. Steve Myers, President of IRC, was quoted, “Our equipment used in the Dakar event is currently stuck in customs and unfortunately will not be available for thisevent. If you already paid for the service, you will be refunded, or creditedfully for the next event.” Casey Folks said, “The Parker 425 will go on as planned due to our experience and forward thinking. We always have a back-up plan to ensure the integrity of our events, and the safety of our racers. IRC has agreed to work with every racer at the next event with some type of compensation for the inconvenience.” There are no announcements in that matter at TDCOM. TDCOM core activity is the design, development, integration ...
