Recently, the Foundation had a very special visitor. David Cowart, one of the championship winning drivers of the Red Lobster BMW M1 and the BMW GTP cars (among others in his career) was passing through the Greenville area. David and friends spent the day visiting the various BMW facilities in the area. In the morning, they toured the BMW Manufacturing plant and Zentrum. After their factory tour, they went to the BMW Performance Center where Mike Renner personally showed the guys around the facility and then treated them to some laps on the track.

After lunch, David and friends came by the Foundation to tour our 15,000 square foot building. It was an honor to have a championship winning driver like David visit the Foundation. He and his friends spent almost two hours here to see all the cool stuff in the Archives and to exchange stories. After the tour, David was gracious enough to sign a number of Red Lobster prints, posters, and some BMW books. We would like to thank David for accepting our invitation to visit the Foundation.Michael Mitchell
