palindromeRACING.com -- The Drivers

My name is Jim Koch.  As you can see above, my last name rhymes with "botch".  As in, "don't botch the pronunciation of Koch."

I'm the webmaster for this site.  If you have any suggestions or feedback, just keep it to yourself.  It took me over a month to get the site looking this crappy.  Imagine how much effort it would take for me to actually make it look good.

My autocross car is Emmy, a BMW E36 M3.  She's a pretty good car, albeit feisty at times.  By the end of the autocross season, I hope to domesticate this wild beast.  Ergo, from wooly mammoth to Snuffalufagus.

P.S. Charles, you owe me $20... I was able to use "albeit", "ergo", and "Snuffalufagus" in my profile.


Ever since getting married recently, Charles has been the quintessential family man.  He keeps busy at work, earning enough money to put food on the table.  At home he sits by the fireplace every night, reading the periodicals.

But all of that will change when autocross season starts.  Flying by the seat of his pants in his Nissan 300ZX, he'll be hell on wheels.  Mothers, hide your children.  Fathers, watch in envy.


Little is known about Jeff.  Believed to actually be a drifter, he somehow knows where and when all of the autocross events occur.  In exchange for the rides that he bums, he'll perform cheap labor on your racecar.

Actually, Jeff is Charles' neighbor.  Nissan mechanic by day, alcoholic by night.  But then, isn't that everyone's life story?
