Team History |
|
With a passion for motor-sport at both local and International level SCRacing's owners, Phil and Sam Corke have put significant time and energy into creating a professional race team. With technical skills handed down from generation to generation and a love of automobiles going to back to very early childhood days the father and son team have turned a passion and hobby into a viable business proposition.
Pit crew chief Phil Corke's interest in the sport grew out of his childhood desire to run, with his father, an engineering and tuning shop back in the UK. Owing and "tuning" Mini Coopers and Ford Cortinas and tackling some local rally events got the interest going though money and opportunity were short. Now with 16 year old Sam Corke at the wheel, greater opportunity and a little more to spend, the dream of owning a race team has become a reality.
Sam's earliest encounter with cars was at age two when he was the proud owner of his own( electric car) not one from Toys are US but hand built by dad in secret in his garage at home. A replica "vintage" model with running-boards and aluminum hood, Sam would spend endless hours driving around paint cans in the yard.
With a couple of successful seasons in kart racing, at both local and National Level (SKUSA ICC Regional Champion in 2002) and local Auto-crossing, the team now enters its first full season in SCCA competition. |
