World Challenge: RC Imports to again run Touring Mercedes

9 January 2000

Rick Ellinger and Mike Richards plan another Speedvision Touring Car assault in 2000, again campaigning Mercedes-Benz 190s, at least initially.

Both Rick [Ellinger] and I are working hard trying to find both performance and reliability in the C-230 2.3L model, though not much has shown up yet, said Richards, who hopes to contend for Rookie of the Year honors in 2000. We also have a member of the team working on a C-280. It should be in testing in early 2000.
