Escondido, CA, 9-14-10 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 to win. You need a solid team.” Bryan Lyttle said after the race at the team dinner “ I have to say a big thanks to all the crew, we put in more hours than I care to mention getting the race cars, chase trucks, trailers and logistics ready for this race. Everyone is a volunteer and I think it’s huge to see the amount of hours spent by each team member every week so we can compete at the level we do.”

The BMW Jimco performed awesome all race. By the 3rd lap, Armin & Martin had stretched their lead on the competition to 11 minutes. The pit relayed this information to Martin, who had gotten into the car a lap earlier. At that time, the decision was made to back off a bit and drive a safe final lap and bring the #107 BMW powered Jimco home for the win. Martin had this to say after the win “We are really fortunate to have the best components available on our cars; BFG tires, Eibach springs, Bilstein shocks, Pro Am hubs, Recaro seats, Schroth belts, Lucas Oils and SolTek lights, it’s almost like cheating when you are driving a car with all of these components. I would like to give a big thanks to all the local sponsors as well, Off Road Warehouse and Meziere Enterprise, they help keep our team going.

Car 111 also ran a great race with Armin Kramer and Andreas Aigner sharing the driving duties. They brought the car home 8th place in class and 19th overall. I was able to talk with Andreas after the race. He had this to say “This was my 3rd race in off road and I really enjoyed it. The car worked really well with the new Bilstein shocks. I am happy we were able to finish. I really love the experience in off road racing. It’s very different compared to the rally racing I am use to. I am looking forward to the next Baja race.” All in all it was great weekend for ALL GERMAN MOTORSPORTS.
