    What is the latest? I hadn't heard much lately, so tried to catch up on the news. Seems like they grew quickly from a MX-5 team to a few professional cars. End of 2018 his race team members broke off to form Gradient Racing. CJ was going to restart his team more closely aligned with his dealerships in 2019, but I didn't see any racing news last year.

    what dealerships does he own? at one point he had a bunch of Mazda dealers, McLaren Chicago, McLaren Scottsdale, and various things in CA including some powersports dealers.

    all I know of now is the Porsche/Audi dealer in Fresno.

    CJ hangs out on Rennlist and a few times he has told us that he is concentrating on his car dealership and has no time to keep racing.

    He races but under the radar . He currently owns Audi/Porsche/bmw of Fresno .

    I tracked and spent a lot of time with him at a 3 day track event last week-end

    Did he end up selling McLaren Scottsdale? I travel to Phoenix often and he is a super nice guy, spent almost two hours talking to him about the paint colors he helped McLaren introduce (mostly flip flop) but he has an undying passion for cars.

    Yes, he sold Mac scottsdale. It is now owned by the same company that owns Mac Denver.
