At this time of year, we gratefully pause to wish you and yours a warm and happy holiday season.

I know it has been a couple of months since we last updated everyone but it wasn't because there was nothing going on, actually, it was quite the opposite.  In the last three months we began the transition from the Mercury Cougar to the new 2004 Focus with Ford's new PZEV world engine. We are very excited and have already started building the new chassis. The engine program is progressing nicely and we expect to have news on that in a couple of weeks.  With the new body from Ford Wayne Assembly and the engineering support of the chassis and 2.3 engine from Ford Racing Technology we feel we have taken the next step to put a Ford in the Speed World Challenge winners circle.  I know I have already asked many of you for your help on the Focus and have received great response and enthusiasm.  You all fuel the determination we have and make us very proud to have you on our team. As you can image this has been a huge undertaking for our small team and we appreciate everyone's support.  As with any successful race program we have also been working on securing sponsorship to campaign the car for the 2004 season and beyond. Enclosed is our first press release for our new 2004-2005 program.
