December 10, 2005:    PBOC SEASON FINALE at Homestead Miami Speedway

PBOC POINTS CHAMPION - R4 Class (Rich)

PBOC ROOKIE OF THE YEAR (Erinn)

Special Thanks to CDOC, Foreign Affairs (especially Anthony who enabled us to race) and our crew Vonnie Sommer.

On Saturday, December 10, 2005 Bluemaxx Racing won the 2005 PBOC Road Racing Championship in the R4 Class. Erinn drove in the season finale race at Homestead Miami Speedway and finished in third place, good enough to clinch the Championship for Bluemaxx Racing. In particular, Rich won the R4 Class Points Championship and Erinn won the coveted Rookie of the Year Award.  

With a total of 20 races completed during the 2005 year, Bluemaxx Racing took home ten-First Place finishes, three-Second Place finishes, four-Third Place finishes and three-Fourth Place finishes.  Having never finished worse than Fourth Place during our rookie year, we could not have been happier with our results. Most important to this Championship were the people, organizations and businesses that have stood by Bluemaxx Racing during the 2005 year. We would like to thank our sponsors. Without their support, we could not have made this happen:

PORSCHE - Simply the best and most proven cars for track use available. We could not have won this Championship in any other car. www.Porsche.com.

CDOC - one of the largest master warehouse distributors of racing, performance and safety gear on the East Coast. Their Contigency Sponsorship Program enabled Bluemaxx Racing to have the best equipment throughout the year. In our opinion, all drivers who put their cars on the track should look to CDOC for all their track needs. www.CDOC.com.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS - one of the finest street and racing performance facilities in America. Foreign Affairs is directly responsible for not only turning our street legal Porsche 996 into a race-legal car, they have also helped maintain our car throughout the year. Always at the track, always willing to help and always professional, there is no other facility we would turn to when we want to win! www.ForeignAffairs.com.

KELLER WILLIAMS REALTY - This is where The Cowell Group, Inc. does all of its Real Estate business. Should you have any real estate needs throughout the United States, always think of The Cowell Group at Keller Williams Realty. www.CowellGroup.com.

JEFF LINDSTROM - This is who really helped us set up our Porsche 996. Although not available commercially, he has proven to be a real friend byt helping us in so many different and difficult situations. Thanks Jeff!

 THE SOMMER/MCCOY FAMILY - Serving as our constant pit crew throughout the season, Vonnie, Patti, Teri and Russ made things go so smoothly. Always supporting us and always a family, we could not have done it without you!

 ERNIE BELLO TIRES - Without Ernie Bello's expertise on tires, we would not have been able to keep up with the leaders in the R4 Class. Ernie has not only proven to be an invaluable asset with tires but a true friend as well. Thanks Ernie!

 RACE-SPORT.net - This is partially how Bluemaxx Racing got so fast on the race track. Hours spent in the seat of a shifter kart will make every driver much faster. Thank you, Aaron Weiss and all of your crew for outfitting us with our Sparco racing suits and helping us go fast in them! www.Race-Sport.net.

FIKSE WHEELS - Once we installed these light weight racing wheels, we could feel the car gain horsepower. Strong, light and great looking, we would only go with the best wheels. www.Fikse.com.

FABSPEED EXHAUST - This is what makes our Porsche 996 sound so good both on and off the track. If you want to make your Porsche sound great, this is where you need to go. www.Fabspeed.com.

PBOC - The officers, directors, organizers and workers of the Porsche-BMW Owner's Club run one of the best Clubs in the US. This is where Bluemaxx Racing began it's start in racing and for good reason. Good, clean racing with people who are genuinely fun to be around. Always look to the PBOC for the best instruction and best amateur racing in Florida! www.PBOCflorida.com.

Hope to see you on the track in 2006.

 

What an AMAZING YEAR!
