2006 drivers - whatever happened to them?

[GlennCMC70]

Since it was asked, i thought it would be a good thing to look at and see. As we all know priorities change over time and racing often moves up or down on that list. here is a list of the 2006 drivers (per the 2006 shirt since i dont have the points sheets here w/ me), as well an explanation of where they are if they are not w/ us now.
should be fun.

Adam Ginsberg - move to Cali. still racing w/ CMC.
Chris Burton - he's a friend of ours that Mitch tried to get back into racing by sharing his car w/. his income has changed and decided to cut racing from the budget. wants to race w/ us really bad.
Chris McComb - moved to Colorodo. still in CMC.
Chuck Buehler - never really raced w/ us. was listed as a co-driver for Mitch as a team in hopes he would race w/ us. his work comitments will not allow it.
Cory Rueth - still w/ us.
Daron Cooke - still w/ us.
Eric Varner - still w/ us.
Glenn Landrum - still w/ us.
Jeff Burch - still w/ us (up to 2009).
Jerry MacNeil - moved to NYC i think. still runs w/ NASA and CMC last i was told.
John Thurman - one time runner w/ us. he's realized he's not ready for CMC and stayed in DE's.
Lewis Tanner - looks to be coming back. got married and had a kid when he stopped racing w/ us. also had issues w/ NASA TX and not AI/CMC.
Micah Bishop - moved over sea's. work related.
Michael Mosty - still here.
Mike Bell - moved on due to issues involving AI/CMC.
Mike Patterson - still w/ us.
Mitch Warren - still w/ us.
Morgan Dawdy - quit for personal reasons after wrecking his car the 2nd time in a short period. from what i understand, he wants to come back... i sure hope he does.
Nick Runyon - still here. been building a new car the last couple years and dealing w/ work issues.
Rob Liebbe - still here.
Robert Boudreaux - still here.
Rober Carr - sold his car due to loosing his job and being unemployed.
Scott Smith - got married and has a kid. stopped racing w/ us due to thinking all the top cars were cheating.
Todd Covini - still here.
Amber Love - still w/ us to some degree. life got in the way for her and its possible she will be returning.
Bud Sharp - not sure if he ever really raced w/ us. possible a 2nd driver of a team.
Chris Lyons - still here.
Chris Marvel - still w/ us.
David Donovan - still w/ us.
David Irwin - economy got him really bad.
Jeff Brooks - moved to Cali. not racing due to economy.
John Goerge - left due to AI/CMC leadership issues.
Marshall Mosty - still here.
Matt White - was here up to 2009.
Misty Cain - still here.
Raybob Coleman - still here.
Richard Pedersen - stopped racing due to costs of racing. still involved w/ the series and w/ a team in the series.
Robert King - still here.
Tommy Schlender - still here.
Bob Hann - raced w/ us once to get some lap times and finish results for a car he needed to sell. no reason for not racing w/ us.
David Armstrong - moved on due to AI/CMC leadership issues.
David Capps - again, the economy got him really bad.
David Irwin - didnt i cover him already?
David Love - was w/ us till 2009. likely stopped racing w/ us due to AI/CMC managment issues.
David Mixon - Kevin Mixons dad? ran w/ us to get lap times on the T2 camaro BL bought so it could be sold.
Jason McMahon - not sure who this is. a little help?
Skip Smith - quit over the result of a ruling against him over car to car contact.
Spencer Sharp - not sure i know the answer to this. he was a "hired gun" to drive the Capp's /Irwin Mustangs to help sort them for those guys. he never had plans to run AI/CMC.
Tracy Alvey - he ran w/ Capp's/Irwin. not sure what his story is.
Wiley Alexander - not even gonna touch this one.

so as you see, there are about 3 folks i know of that left due to AI/CMC managment issues. take note that i was not involved w/ the running of the series in 2006. i came on board early 2007.
i hope this answers the question that was asked.

feel free to correct me where i am wrong.

McNeil is deployed in Iraq, his home is on the east coast, I plan to join him at Watins Glen in 2010, he loves AI/CMC Texas

Robert Carr... Moved to San Antonio and last I heard he moved the #27 to a dirt car, I bought his old AI #27

Bob Hahn was a SCCA racer and was taunted into coming over to race with us

Mr. McMahon bought a Panoz and attended the Hallett event

Chris Lyons.. has issues, he's just not aware of them, yet

I'm in the market for a take 3 trailer and a F 350 or RAM 3500... I can haul your car up if this deal comes together... I'm also looking at Road Atlanta and I'd really love to do Road America...

We'll see what happens...

Bob may resurrect his A-sedan later this year, but likely to test some suspension changes only. He generally retired from racing a couple years ago, and earlier this fall had a quintuple bypass (from which recovery is going well).

John Goerge - left due to AI/CMC leadership issues

Hold on wait a minute.....

First off, it's George ;-) and I left for completely different reasons.

Most important one was because I was not having fun anymore and I wanted to spend more time with my kids.

Plus I got tired of beating Matt White all the time ;-)

This is one of the tracks I REALLY want to go drive. I practically grew up at this track as a kid. But was not old enough at the time to have driven it in anger.

That could be a cool road trip....

Amazing timing :twisted: :lol:

If you are looking for someone to chase... Mike Patterson is back...

Why no Camaros in A-Sedan?
