Mixed Results
Everyone
has their ups and downs. That was certainly true in our 2004 racing
season. With 12 blown engines, 5 major wrecks, and just one win it
counts as our most frustrating year ever. Still, we did eek out a
couple of wins (in races with small car counts) and Cobra continues
to get faster. Hopefully we'll be in the hunt for 2005 for a couple
of championships. We also managed to avoid any serious injuries in
the wrecks, although Bobbie did have one trip to the hospital for
observation after getting her race car license in February.
Our off season is focused on Harry
redoing much of the mechanicals on the car and some updates to some
things we had wanted to do. Dan will be doing some body work. We've
purchased another Porsche for Bobbie and will be getting the engine
and other stuff out of it to get it back on the track. Last, but
certainly not least, we've shipped the Daytona
Coupe off to get ready for the mid-part of the 2005 season.
We're
the two-time champions for the
FFR Spec Racer series here in the Mid-Atlantic. (Daniel also
won the 2003 Spec RX-7 NASA Championship.) We run the Factory
Five Cobra with NASA
and occasionally SCCA
as Bobbie runs her race car.
