Brown’s long wait to ‘Dodge’ the snow!

WATERDOWN, ONTARIO – Waterdown, Ontario racer Tyler Brown has had what he is sure is the longest winter on record. Not because he and his 4B Racing team didn’t need some down time. It was because 4B Racing’s brand new Ontario Pro Challenge Dodge Intrepid was sitting in the shop all winter waiting for the snow to melt. “It got to the point where
I couldn’t go to the shop because it was driving me crazy, not being able to drive the new car,” Brown said.

Eventually snow does melt, or most of it! In early April, 4B Racing had the new car and Tyler up at Sunset Speedway turning his first laps of the year. “There was still snow melting in turns 3 & 4 and Tyler was driving through the water on the track like it was dry,” track owner Glenn Lloyd commented.

In order to get a handle on the new Intrepid, the team has spent considerable time up at Sunset getting Brown comfortable in the #91 Dodge. “After 7 years of karting, having a complete car around you, as well as roll cage, head restraints and all the safety gear, it’s
a new feeling, one that requires getting used to,” Brown said. To date the team has logged more than 600 laps up at Sunset Speedway.

4B Racing is also going through an expansion of the team to handle the extra duties of running a stock car. New 4B Racing members are crew chief, Glen Brown from Windsor and spotter, Don Blair of Burlington. The testing has given the team some much needed time to mesh together. “Whatever it takes, we are making sure that the team will be firing on all cylinders before we start to compete here in Ontario,” team owner Darrell Brown said.

The team is excited about this season and the challenges it will present. Darrell Brown has stated that the focus this season is learning and gaining the respect of the teams Tyler will compete against. Tyler will continue to test the car at a variety of tracks as he prepares to make his first appearance in the Ontario Pro Challenge Series.

Darrell Brown also had some news on the sponsorship front. “We are also happy to announce that as well as Assante Wealth Management, VH Web DeZine and The Adin Group, 4B Racing has also added Leaf Racewear as a sponsor for 2005.”
