Lime Rock Entry Hopes for Caffine Rush

31 May 1999

									
THE COFFEE CRITIC AND HUFFAKER/QVALE TO FIELD
SCHROEDER AND NEVILLE AT LIME ROCK

LAKEVILLE, Conn. (May 29, 1999);  West coast coffee and tea retailer and wholesaler Linda Mountanos 
and The Coffee Critic will sponsor a two-car, Huffaker/Qvale effort at Lime Rock Park for 
round three of the Sports Car Club of America’s BFGoodrich Tires Trans-Am Series, 
part of the Dodge Dealers Grand Prix May 29-31.

Chris Neville, 1998 Trans-Am Rookie of the Year and fourth-place finisher at last week’s 
Mosport Trans-Am race, will be back in the #84 Coffee Critic Cobra, hoping to post 
another solid run at the front in the new, Huffaker Engineering-built chassis that 
Neville put on the pole for the Long Beach season opener.

In a deal that came together only at the last minute, former Trans-Am champion Dorsey 
Schroeder will race in the second Huffaker/Qvale machine, the same updated chassis 
which Stu Hayner raced at Mosport last weekend. In an emotional gesture, the car will 
be renumbered as the #47 Coffee Critic Cobra. The number #47 holds special meaning for 
Huffaker/Qvale principal Joe Huffaker, as well as Schroeder.

"We are changing the number on to #47 for the next two races," said Huffaker, 
"in honor of Bob Hubbard, a long-time St. Louis area racer and mechanic who is a great 
friend of mine, as he is of Dorsey and many other racers. I believe Dorsey may even 
have raced against him in his early club days. Bob is dying of cancer, and may not 
even make it through the weekend. He was thrilled to hear that Dorsey would be in our car. 
I told him that he’d better make it through the weekend so he could watch the race 
on Monday."

"Bob did as much as anyone to get my racing career off the ground," added Schroeder. 
"This was something we both wanted to do."
