Actually four! Andy McKee's blue car (Bruce) in '98, then Chris McKinney
won CSL in Derek Butts' black '92 (Tommy). Then Randy Noll's yellow '93 won
a ProSolo National Championship with Randy in 2002, followed by the ES Solo2
National Championship with Jeff Cashmore in 2003. And now in 2004 Ryan won
in my old car.
Not only that, but the setup theory and much advice was passed down from one
to the other. Andy and Derek really new how to get those things working and
Randy Noll built off of that. As for my car basically everything that was
ever done to it was recommended and/or actually done by Randy, with lots of
help from Carl Valderama. Unfortunately the tradition of great SFR driving
talent in ES ended with Randy, but hey the car certainly was good enough:)
It's a great tradition and I hope somebody will pick up the interest in
these great cars and use the wealth of knowledge that we have in our region.
They are really great cars- I don't know if they will be the match of the
new competition in ES but we'll see.

Wow! Three different MR2's that were bought and prepared in this region
went on to win national championships in E-Stock.
Though, I am sure the CP guys think this is old hat. :-)
