BAM! - ownership change

BAM! (British American Motorsport), based in Stuart, Fla., is being 
restructured to be a single-owner team. Tim Munday of Jupiter, Fla. will assume sole 
ownership of the team by buying the 50-per-cent share of BAM!'s founding 
co-owner, Peter Baron of Deerfield Beach, Fla. The partners hope to complete the 
transition by Aug. 1. 

Munday remains BAM! technical and race director, and he will now assume 
responsibility for the team's business operations, as well. BAM! will maintain its 
close relationships with Porsche Motorsport North America and Michelin. 

BAM! will continue to compete in every race of the American Le Mans Series, 
fielding the No. 43 YES Network Porsche 911 GT3 RSR for Leo Hindery, Jr. of New 
York and for Porsche factory drivers Lucas Luhr of Monaco; Sascha Maassen of 
Raeren, Belgium and Mike Rockenfeller of Neuwied, Germany, who will 
alternately drive with Hindery in the six remaining races of the season.

BAM!'s next race will be at Infineon (Sears Point) Raceway in Sonoma, Calif. 
on July 18.

Peter Baron: 

"There's a reason a ship has only one captain. Tim and I had a difference of 
opinion on how BAM! should go forward, and when we couldn't agree on a common 
vision, it felt best for both of us to split the partnership. I'm proud of my 
contributions toward making BAM! one of the premier GT teams in the ALMS and 
in helping lay the strong foundation that Tim and the team can build on for 
future success. And I will always cherish my seven years racing with Leo -- after 
all, we share tattoos!"

the 2003 24 Heures du Mans]

Tim Munday:
 
"I will miss my friend Peter Baron, and I wish we could have resolved our 
differences. Thanks in no small part to Peter's support, BAM! has had remarkable 
success in its first nine months of operation, including a magical run at the 
2004 24 Hours of Le Mans, and I am confident about our prospects going 
forward."

Leo Hindery, Jr.: 
 
"Back in 1998 when I stopped racing NASCAR, Peter Baron first taught me the 
phrase '10/10ths' and then he taught me how to turn right. He also taught me 
the worth of friendship, and I will greatly miss my tattoo-mate. Tim Munday and 
I will now have to convince one of our young Porsche factory drivers that 
tattoos make you cool."
