The Spirit of Rob Goldfarb is alive!

Post by fact5racer » Sat Jun 30, 2007 7:48 pm

Tonight I did the first startup of my latest project car: My factory Five GTM Midengine supercar. This one is going to be on display at SEMA in Vegas this fall and is truely a no-holds-bar supercar in everyway fom weight, handling, power and paddleshifters. For those that didn't know, I am using the engine that was in Rob's car when he had his fatal crash at Pocono. Some people think that I am crazy and claim that this car will be cursed but knowing Rob, just like as if something was to happen to me driving, the last thing I would want is for others to blame the car. I feel that this car will be a tribute to Rob and the love that he had for cars and more importantly: us drivers. I know Rob is looking down and is proud of what I have done with his help and motivation.

Just wanted you all to know that with Rob's help and inspiration I feel I made him proud by winning "Best Domestic", one of the only five awards given at the 2007 SEMA show.

Pictures can be seen here:
