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

other Triumphs and Richard has a GT6 street car and a Mini Cooper he =
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 =
