Greg Garneau & Ken Dobson

Both Ken and Greg have been involved with racing in some sort of fashion since the late 80’s. On the club level, Ken has raced Pro-7’s, Spec-Miata’s, 510’s and a few others. On the national level, Ken and Greg ran Spec-Miata’s and a semi-factory effort in a 350z for Nissan. In the Pro level ranks, Ken and Greg spent 4+ years in World Challenge Touring car, mostly running a BMW, but some occasional rides in Mazda’s and Acura’s. Ken has also driven for teams in the Grand-Am Koni Challenge series, and the Grand-Am Rolex GT series, which also includes runs in the 24hrs of Daytona. Ken and Greg have also recently got into vintage racing, something that they started their racing endeavors with back in the 80’s, crewing on a friends Shelby Mustang. They will be running there vintage trans-am Alfa Romeo at this year’s Monterey Historic’s. Ken has taught for both Skip Barber in the past, and currently, the Jim Russell racing school. He is also the lead instructor for the Audi Sports Car Experience school at Infineon Raceway.

They have built most of their cars together and usually it is just the two of them running their program. Besides their racing efforts, Greg maintains a few customer’s race cars, and he takes care of the 3 pace cars that reside at Laguna Seca for Mazda.

Nice Guys!

 

what kind of power did that make?

 

Sexy sexy.

 

Wouldn't want your press release to contain typos

Good stuff. Any dyno sheets? How's the diff handle that much torque to two wheels? Still a ton of torque steer?
