Shelby Cobra wins at Open Track Challenge
The Tom’s Motorsports, Journey Racing Team CSX4180 Shelby Cobra of Kevin Rogers and Tom Barnard scored an Unlimited American GT class win and a 10th place overall in the 2003 edition of the Open Track Challenge. The Open Track Challenge is an endurance type of racing event that challenges the competitors with 7 racetracks in 7 days. Despite missing 3 sessions on day 2 due to a valve train problem, missing 2 sessions on day 4 due to a broken differential mount, and missing 2 sessions on day 5 due to being black flagged for “excessive noise”, the CSX4000 Shelby Cobra proved its winning heritage by defeating some of the finest road racing cars in the west. Some of the entered competition included a new factory Dodge Viper Competition Coupe, a new Mosler MT900, driven by Rupert Bragg-Smith, and 3 Radical Sports Racers. Complete results, including daily times and placings can be found at www.opentrackchallenge.com.

This was a tough event, and I congratulate the crew for a job well done. I am still working on getting video footage of the event, and will post links when I get them.
