BlueFire Racing is on the move ...
Just in time for the start of the 2010 American Iron/Camaro Mustang Challenge season, BlueFire Racing is pleased to announce that Clifton Winkleman will be joining the team.
Miata Marvel Winkleman has agreed to join the team to co-pilot the #404 BlueFirePony in the 2010 AI/X season. "It's quite a bit heavier than my Miata" said Winkleman. "And quieter too! Kinda wierd actually!" he mused. When asked if those comments implied he was having second thoughts, he stated "Heck no...the car is a chick magnet...I am in for all the photo opps!".
“We'll have our work cut out for us this season as BlueFirePony will be also serving as a trainer for my son and co-owner Kyri as he works to get his competition license this year” said Brian Calder, Co-Owner/Driver of BlueFireRacing. “Our second car is a bit behind schedule. With Clifton on the team, we can share driving and logistics duties."
When asked if he is giving up a share of the photo opportunities he had this to say, "What?".
The team will be working through the season to make BlueFirePony a more competitive car and have hinted that there are several "special projects" in the works. Rumors abound but co-owner Kyri Calder was heard commenting "I just hope we remember batteries for the cameras this year!".
The team announcement comes just before Round 1 at Mercedes-Benz Sugarland Raceway near Angleton, Texas January 30-31. “We are still working out driving schedules but both of us will be in the car during the weekend” insisted Winkleman.
"On a grander note, a major reason for us bringing Clifton on is his selfless interest in helping BlueFire Racing leverage our investment in motorsports into an Outreach program during the 2010 season. We hope this partnership will be the first successful step of many as we work to give back to our local communities." commented Calder. "We are convinced that no only is this approach good for the soul, but the activities we are planning will help drive a broader interest in grass roots club racing we are sure will result in higher car counts!" he declared.
"Details are still being worked out, but we are hoping to help drive at least one charity event during the season. Folks can check out our website or contact us directly if they are interested in helping or just curious." he added.
