Mike Skeen name drop

Post by stuartinmn »

Long time members of the board will remember Mike Skeen. He was here when he was a teenager (he and his dad were at the 5erFest that was held at the BMW factory in South Carolina with an M5.) He's gone on to a pretty successful career in motorsports, driving in Trans Am, IMSA and other series, and also does driving instruction and coaching. Anyway, I was watching the latest episode of Tom Cotter's Barn Find YouTube channel, where he visits Ray Evernham's garage full of restored race cars. Apparently Mike is doing some work with Ray, he gets mentioned as they look over a 1936 Chevy modified at 9:17 into the video. Just thought it was cool. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyvDtjxOrzs

And Mike is who created the MyE28 logo, which was a representation of his car. He was also a Beamter for a while.

I see his name when multiple drivers are participating in getting the MB IMSA car around the track for long races.
