CROWLEY –Gauthier and Amedee Post 81 walked 10 hitters in the first four innings and Peake BMW Post 288 took advantage scoring five runs on way to a 6-1 victory in the American Legion State Tournament championship game Tuesday night at Miller Stadium. “Unfortunately it didn’t fall for us,” Gauthier and Amedee head coach Justin Morgan said. “These guys did such a good job and have trusted ...
I must have been asleep at wheel when this happened 6 months ago but Champion Audi filed for bankruptcy court protection in FL. CA (new car dealership) in Pompano Beach, FL is no more. That dealership and its second dealership in Coral Springs, FL are in a big time sale dispute with Audi themselves.
When the new Audi A8 debuts it will seek simplified operation by replacing the "switch salad" on the center console with c ontrol buttons easily accessible on the gear selector, and are operated without the view from the road ahead.

With all the changes happening in the BMW Motorsport Division (see BMW leaving Formula 1), many of us are wondering how will it affect the Motorsport campaigns in North America.
Courtesy of BMW USA, we have some new information to relate:
- BMW of North America has confirmed the status of several Motorsport campaigns of interest to North American customers and enthusiasts.
- BMW Motorsport today announced that Formula BMW Americas will bid the international motor racing calendar farewell after the 2009 season finale at Mosport (Canada) on 30 August. Since 2004, over 110 drivers have competed for points and victories in the series. Formula BMW will continue to race in Europe and Asia.
- BMW announced on 29 July that the BMW Group will not continue its Formula One campaign after the end of the 2009 season. Resources freed up as a result are to be dedicated to the continued development of new drive technologies and projects in the field of sustainability. BMW will continue to be actively involved in other motorsport series (see below).
- In this context, BMW of North America will continue to support US motorsport activities in 2010, similar to its 2009 effort with the BMW M3 GT2 (www.bmwusa.com/motorsport).
- BMW Motorrad Motorsport racing is gathering momentum with the launch of the all-new S 1000 RR superbike. The S 1000 RR began Superbike World Championship (www.bmw-motorrad.com/motorsport) competition in 2009 and will contest another season in 2010.
We’re glad to see that the BMW Motorsport initiatives in North America continue and we will report more on that next week when we’re schedule to attend the Lexington, Ohio ALMS race.

BERLIN An Audi sedan written off by an elderly German woman as stolen two years ago has resurfaced in her neighbor's garage beneath a thick layer of dust.
