Randy Unsbee #35. Norm Nelson photo. Christoph quickly and successfully made the transition from weekend track day driver in modified street and race cars on numerous California and Oregon race circuits, to a professionally trained racing driver and team owner in just the last few years. His fifth place overall finish, and second among Minis with an ailing car during the 2022 Mini vs. Mustang Enduros at WeatherTech Laguna Seca, was one of the weekend's unexpected highlights.
