The car is currently in the 1982 Livery (and condition), has not been worked on since the engine blew up at Road Atlanta in ’82. The engine, transmission has already been removed. The main attraction of this particular e10 racer is it’s long well documented race history under IMSA RS and SCCA B Sedan (B/S) specifications. With only a few outings in SCCA B sedan, this car was almost exclusively campaigned professionally in *IMSA RS series, but there remains the SCCA number (8074) stamped on the roll cage. It’s 99% complete ,well-prepped, and ready for rebuilding or a full restoration.
The race chassis was professionally built in 1973 by Quality Car Service of Rockford MD, and racer Jerry Cohen over saw the construction. It was raced a few times in 1974 by Gerry Thanner as the number #15 at Road Atlanta, Mid Ohio, Lime Rock and Daytona. Cliff Rickmers bought the chassis in 1975. The number was changed to #14 (because of Al Holbert and AJ Foyt’s success with the number) and painted orange with yellow and blue stripes. He ran several SCCA Regionals at Nelson Ledges in B Sedan with BFG Street tires and usually won. Cliff also ran the car in IMSA as a 1600 at Road Atlanta, Mid Ohio, Mid America Raceway, Daytona In 1976, the car was sponsored by Chemflex Corp. the distributor of Flex Oil as #14. The color was changed to white and black with oranges/yellow highlights and raced at Road Atlanta, Mid Ohio, Lime Rock and two races at Mid Ohio. In 1977, Rickmers raced the #14 at Road Atlanta, Talladega and Hallett . In 1978 through 1980, the car was competing in its current livery, Imron white with traditional BMW motorsport colored stripes. Cliff with Donnie Crider campaigned the #14 at Hallett and Road Atlanta. In 1981 the car ran at Atlanta with the car number of 19, then at Mid Ohio (Donnie qualifying second) with the car number of 4 and in the fall at Road Atlanta with the car number of 44. In 1982, the car only raced at Road Atlanta when it blew the engine at about the half way point in the 3hr race while running second. Donnie and Cliff were co-driving.
Other than the white imron paint with the traditional BMW motorsport stripes, the car looks largely stock on the outside, masking what lays beneath. It comes equipped with period correct, 2.0L SOHC m10 inline 4 cylinder engine, Holley 500 CFM with “Turbo” intake manifold, Getrag 4-speed manual transmission, tube-strengthened chassis, adjustable rear suspension, large diameter race header & exhaust, 100% locked rear differential, full specification roll cage, Richardson racing seat.
