Veteran World Challenge racer Mark Dixon,
of Longmont, Colo., looks to make a full run at the 2000 Speedvision GT
Championship with a new Pontiac Firebird. Dixon spent the last year
preparing the car, which made two shakedown appearances at PPIR and Laguna
Seca, and will carry sponsorship from Herber Motors, although more irons
are
in the fire.
Weve got the funds to do the season, but there are a couple potential sponsors which could allow us to step up the program and possibly run a Corvette, said Dixon, who has 19 career starts.
