    Despite a little rain, the weekend was a lot of fun. Our Team learned a lot and got a small taste of CCR. Looking forward to upcoming events.

    Agreed. John and Yulia pulled off a stellar event, in spite of Sunday's drastic weather change!! (for the worse....)

    Super Fun.

    Special thanks to Yulia and John for all the help and support in making the long time dreams of seven men come to life.

    Two months ago, Black Horse Racing was just a twinkle in our crazy heads. We acquired six Challenge cars, trailers, and a support team from our local resources. Five cars made their first runs during Forza track days.

    The other CCR drivers and Teams welcomed us with open arms to make everything a huge success for our very first event. Guy and Nick helped everyone gain confidence in their new cars on a very challenging and fun track.

    Although we did not run in the CCR this time around, all of our drivers gained confidence that they we really could do this.

    Thanks again to the entire CCR group, drivers, and especially Yulia. You are the best!

    Absolutely stellar event. This series has really made some huge strides for this year, and our team is honored and proud to be apart of it!

    Welcome to the series Chad and the Kansas City crew..you will enjoy yourselves!

    Congratulations to our team podium winners Mark Mckenzie, Joe Rubbo, Kirk Brown, Bruce Ledoux and Harold Petit.

    Also congrats to the many CCR drivers who never raced in the rain...well done!

    Big thanks to Yulia, John, Peter & all the sponsors that make it all happen

    Best CCR event yet! My compliments to Yulia and the staff. It's wonderful how the series is maturing in so many ways.

    And fantastic racing in challenging conditions! We ran both races with nothing more than an occasional local yellow. With other organizations it seems we are increasingly losing green flag racing due to contact and this was a refreshing change. Even more impressive given the rain. Thank you fellow drivers!

    Chad, how did the car run? Now that you have a 430 C, please tell how it compares to the 16M on the track.

    Watching COTA from the stands at F1 this must be among the best circuits to run in the world.

    Great post Rob! I feel the same. In a series of highlights, the skill of the drivers to respect each outer is the highlight for me. To run such large fields and in the rain without a single incident of car to car contact is true testament to the impressive driving in CCR. It's truly becoming the premier gentleman's series.

    And it's going to get better. We have more staff, and more things coming (wait till you see the custom OMP CCR/FORZA shoes, they are killer!). Also adding more hospitality and staff starting at Daytona. Rules are going to be really strict his year, (I think this is a good thing)- so everyone needs to understand the rule book. And CCR registrations need to be complete for Daytona.

    Rob, BTW, did FORZA contact you? They were looking to interview you.
