Andrew Hobbs Claims Fourth Prize at the Skip Barber Race Series Shootout

Andrew Hobbs Claims Fourth Prize at the Skip Barber Race Series Shootout

November 9, 2011
For Immediate Release
Press Contact: Greg Hobbs (414) 737-5705


MONTEREY, Calif. – Andrew Hobbs let the Skip Barber Race Series community know that he will be a driver to watch in 2012 after a brilliant weekend at the Skip Barber Race Series Scholarship Shootout. Held at Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca, the Skip Barber Race Series Scholarship Shootout pitted the top drivers from the Skip Barber National, Summer, and Winter series against each other in on and off track evaluations for a top prize of a funded season in the Skip Barber presents the Mazda Summer Series. The event is judged by Skip Barber's top instructors as well as special guests that included Speed TV commentator Bob Varsha, Team USA Scholarship Director Jeremy Shaw and MAZDASPEED Communications Director Dean Case. Hobbs speed and consistency impressed the esteemed panel enough to be awarded fourth prize, a $20,000 scholarship toward the 2012 Skip Barber Presents the Mazda Summer Series Championship.

"I finally felt really comfortable in these cars and confident that I could go fast, so I gave all I could," stated Andrew after being awarded the scholarship. "I really want to say thank you to so many people who have helped me this year, Steve Welk of Linear Sport, Mr. Arden Hetland of Mastertech Vehicle Protection and Mr. Keith Raskin of Prestige Auto Works and of course the whole Skip Barber organization Without their belief and support this would not have been possible. I am really looking forward to 2012 where I am sure we can be a contender for the Championship, but it won’t be easy as always there will be some great competition.”
Hobbs entered the three day long shootout as a bit of an underdog after a checkered season in the Skip Barber Summer Series. The Bayside Wisconsin driver let the judges know straight away that he meant business however. During the first session Hobbs had set the fastest lap of the group by the midway point and was able to maintain the sixth fastest time as the checkered flew.

Day two would see the drivers taking to the track twice. In the second session of the shootout Hobbs took a little to settle down and find his rhythm, which saw him place seventh in the session. For the third timed session the judges decided to throw a curveball at the field by staging a mock race dubbed the "Competitive Module." The field would be lined up by the combined average lap time of the first two sessions which put Hobbs fifth on the grid. At the start of the 10 lap sprint Hobbs lost some momentum and fell back to seventh after the first lap. A methodical run saw the Mastertech backed driver work his way back the fifth position at the end of the module.

As the third day opened Hobbs knew he would have to put in a strong final performance in order to leave a big impression on the gathered judges. To make his run more difficult Hobbs was forced to change cars after his out lap when he discovered a failing clutch. Undeterred Hobbs but in the drive of the season. After a lap to get up to speed Hobbs began lowering his lap times and moving up in the
order. Hobbs would go on to set third fastest lap of the session, just a tenth of a second off of the second best time and backed that up with the fourth fastest average of the session. It was an impressive display for the high school senior and left a favorable impression on the judges as they went to deliberate on the scholarship order.

After the nearly four hours of debate the judges had come to a consensus and awarded Hobbs the fourth place prize worth $20,000 toward the Skip Barber presents the Mazda Summer Series. Hobbs will now spend the off season preparing for a full season assault on the Skip Barber Summer Championship in 2012.

Taking over the family business is a rich tradition in the United States. When the family business is driving racecars at the absolute limit, that tradition takes on a whole new meaning. Andrew Hobbs aims to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather and father and become a professional racecar driver. On the track Hobbs has displayed all the traits necessary to compete at the highest levels of motorsports, off track he understands the business of motorsports that will help insure high levels of success for his partners.

David Hobbs Honda sponsored triathlete qualifies for 2012 Olympics

Gwen Jorgensen of Milwaukee qualifies for 2012 Olympics

 

        




David Hobbs Honda is proud to announce that our sponsored triathlete,
Gwen Jorgensen of Milwaukee, qualified for the 2012 Olympic Games in
London this month. Jorgensen, a top track and field athlete while at
UW Madison with a swim background, was recruited by the USA Triathlon
Program and competed in her first triathlon less than two years ago.
This past weekend she finished second in an International Triathlon
Union World Championship Series race, the highest-ever finish for an
American woman, and earned a spot on the 2012 U.S. Olympic triathlon
team. Jorgensen posted the day's fastest run split and finished the
race in 2 hours, 41 seconds, seven seconds off the winning pace. Her
win guaranteed a country slot for the United States at next year's
London Games.

The USA will take only 2 to 3 athletes to the 2012 Olympic games. And
the local star trained hard for her spot, amping up her training for
the season to 15-25 hours a week combining a routine of swimming,
biking and running.  According to Greg Hobbs, Executive Vice President
of David Hobbs Honda, "its important for our business to support
excellence in our community and Gwen is a shining example of the best
of the best."

In respect to the DHH sponsorship Jorgensen offers, "David Hobbs Honda
is extremely generous and excited about helping the community.  They
gave me a new Honda Insight so I will be able to do more training
because I now have a fuel-efficient car that allows me to get to
workout facilities.  It is a hatchback, allowing me to easily put my
bike in inside.  But It is also environmentally friendly, something
Hobbs Honda and I are both very passionate about."

Andrew Hobbs Scores a Top 10 Result in Skip Barber Race Series Debut

                          

                

Danville, VA -  Andrew Hobbs scored a sixth place result in his Skip Barber Race Series debut this past weekend.  Driving from the back of the grid at the historic Virginia International Raceway (VIR); Hobbs was able to advance nine positions to place sixth in his first career formula car race.  The result would highlight what was a very productive weekend for the sixteen-year-old Skip Barber rookie.

After spending the off season focusing on his education, Hobbs began his Skip Barber career in the most difficult of conditions on the weekend's opening test day.   The line of storms that rocked the American South brought a morning of showers that forced Hobb's to learn the challenging 3.7 mile VIR track in wet weather conditions.  Undaunted the high school junior took a very methodical approach and built up his comfort level and speed  gradually in the difficult conditions.  Friday's official practice sessions were clear and dry and Hobbs continued his progression, improving his pace each time on the race track.

Hobbs had high hopes for a strong result heading into the only qualifying session in the two race format of the Skip Barber race weekend.  Unfortunately an off on the outside of the high speed turn-17 would relegate Hobb's to the back of the grid after posting the tenth fastest time in the fifteen car field.

An extra night would pass before Hobbs was able to make his race debut.  An accident filled Skip Barber National Championship race forced the day to run long leaving Skip Barber officials no choice but to run the Andrew's race group on Sunday morning.  The wait proved to be useful as Hobbs showed up to work on Sunday.  Headed into turn one on the first lap Hobbs was able to overtake a few cars while avoiding a spinning car to move into the top-ten on the first lap.  After the strong opening lap the M. Nelson and Associates backed driver was able to move through the field, passing cars and taking advantage of other drivers mistakes until he found himself solidly in the sixth position after the races half way point.  Again Hobbs was able to improve his pace and began running the fifth place car down.  Placing himself perfectly for the last lap pass, Hobbs made his move down the back straight but a missed shift stunted his run leaving him prone to attack from the seventh place driver.  In the dash to the finish Hobbs was just beat at the line for sixth by .02 of a second giving the young driver seventh on the track.  A post race penalty would move Hobbs up one more position resulting in a fine sixth place finish in the stout 15 car field.

Sunday afternoon's race number two held a lot of promise for Hobbs after his strong showing in race one.  At the green a conservative start from the sixth position resulted in the lose of a couple of spots on lap one.  Hobbs immediately gave chase to the leaders looking to make up ground.  After reassuming the sixth spot Hobbs found himself in a see-saw battle for the position in the races mid stages.  A pass attempt into VIR's sweeping turn three, a move that had worked earlier in the race, saw Hobbs get pinched into the curb.  In order to avoid car to car contact the Bayside Wisconsin driver spun his car.  The spin and resulting pit stop to check for damage relegated Hobbs to the back with just a few laps to go.  Never one to stop pushing Hobbs continued to charge to the checkered flag and was awarded an 11th place finish for his efforts.  

"This weekend was definitely a learning experience," Hobbs said after the weekend.  "I was very happy with race one and naturally a bit disappointed in the spin during race two.  I think we would have had a second top ten for sure if not a shot at a top five finish.  The really good part about the weekend was a was able to find a really good comfort level with the car, which was one of my main goals going into the event.  I can't wait to get back into the car at Lime Rock."

Andrew Hobbs' next Skip Barber race will come the weekend of June 11th at Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, Connecticut.  The David Hobbs Honda backed driver will not be sitting still however as "Drew" will test a 360 sprint car for the first time later in May.   Hobbs will continue to training in karts as well in order to keep sharp for his return the cockpit of the Skip Barber F2000 car in June.

Taking over the family business is a rich tradition in the United States.  When the family business is driving racecars at the absolute limit, that tradition takes on a whole new meaning.  Andrew Hobbs aims to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather and father and become a professional racecar driver.  On the track Hobbs has displayed all the traits necessary to compete at the highest levels of motorsports, off track he understands the business of motorsports that will help insure high levels of success for his partners.  For more information on Andrew Hobbs, please visit www.AndrewHobbsRacing.com or follow him on twitter @AHobbsRacing.
