2006 Targa School at Mosport 17 June 2006
The June Targa School was recently completed at Mosport. It
was an excellent day. Great weather and lots of track time.

Sadly, we have decided to sit out the 2006 One Lap. We have competed in the past 5 One Laps and felt that it was time for a break. This decision allows us to concentrate on improving our results at Targa. The resources that we would have put into One Lap are being used to upgrade our suspension, transmission, engine and rims.
Good luck to Dan and Kyle Corcoran and we are looking for Dave Goodman to repeat as the vintage foreign champion. www.onelapofamerica.com

Fall - Winter Preparation (November 2004)
The 2004 race season is complete and we are now making plans and preparing for the 2005 season. We are looking forward to competing in the One Lap and Targa again next year.
The car has been disassembled for maintenance and we are rebuilding the engine and transmission. We hope to have a few new surprises for the competition next summer.
