No matter how soon you start preparing, it always seems like there isnt enough time. We had a whole month to get the CRX ready for our next Sebring event..but as you know, that didnt stop us from working on the car all the way up to the last hour before we had to leave for Sebring. We thought we were on the right track, we had installed all of our new parts, put the motor back in, drove it around the block a few times, but we still needed the one last peice of the puzzle before we could go to Sebring..our new baffeled fuel cell.

We have been talking about building a race car for quite a while to represent our brand, but never made the push. After our conversation, he told me to put together a proposal and we decided to offer the idea to Chris to campaign his car and have it sponsored by our company with myself as the driver. I asked Chris several times if he really wanted to do it, as it was almost too good to be true, but he kept saying yes and that he only trusted me to drive his car in this fashion. Chris has been very generous and although he isnt able to drive it as much as he would like, he still enjoys getting to work on the car with us and watching it rip around the road course!
