We had six drivers, most from the FOT list. Greg and Bob Blake, Bobby =

does HPDE=E2=80=99s in. The car progressed from a Lemon=E2=80=99s rat =
roller to a reasonable race car over time. I supervised the build of the =

improving it over time. It did a few Lemon=E2=80=99s weekends, then some =
Chump races and has competed in three WRL endurance weekends. This was =

say we were on the lead laps. There were two factory built BMW =
M2=E2=80=99s out there a couple of Mustang purpose built racers, and a =
number of other P cars and Beemers that lapped us many times. It was =
fun to race against the Corvettes in the rain, but the smaller Boxsters, =
