The venerable BMW E30 is the only car on the PRO3 grid. Rules require a 2- or 4-door E30 325i with stock engine and no ABS. While not the most sophisticated machine on the road these days, the car is beautifully balanced and fun to drive. “They’re great,” says Matt Lowell, who has six years of PRO3 racing behind him. “Not a ton of power. They’re ba...
PRO3 is the brainchild of Ken and WesHill, two brothers with decades of experience in the racing and automotive world, including more than 20 years as ProFormance Racing School instructors. In the 1990s they built some BMW E30s to race in the SCCA Improved Touring (IT) class. As luck would have it, the newer E36’s were admitted shortly afterwards, ...

Drivers who have attained their competition license can sample the racing experience without putting out a lot of cash up front. This approach, unique to PRO3, helps to bu...
PRO3 is famous for its remarkably supportive community. “The culture of PRO3 is different,” says McAffer. “If your car is broken, people swarm around to help. They’ll say, ‘I’ve got this part, I’ve got this tool.’ They’ll ask how they can help get you back on the track.” “One of the things that keeps a bunch of us in PRO3 is the camaraderie in the ...
With cars so well-matched, drivers make the difference in PRO3. Wes again: “You’ll see a little bit of separation if someone has a brand-new motor and someone else has one that’s five years old, but not a lot. If the driver in front makes just one mistake, the other one can take advantage of it. Last weekend we had eight cars at the front, nine in ...
Ken and Wes spend a lot of time bringing new drivers into the fold. Recently they bought three E30s to rent out to novices. “We had maybe 12 new faces try them out this summer. Of those, nine or ten are committed to coming next year, and three are building their own cars.” The PRO3 formula – lively, affordable, low-maintenance cars, readily availab...
Wes Hill sums up the appeal of PRO3. “Because we’ve raced on all levels, including the 24 Hours of Daytona with Don (Chief Instructor Don Kitch, Jr.), we’re pretty familiar with the price breakdown in different classes, and how much fun you’re having per dollar spent. So when we say it’s really affordable, we can back that up with experience. PRO3 ...
