    (As told by Dave and Ethan). Fulfilling a dream, father and son Dave Wilson and Ethan Wilson campaigned a Ferrari 430 Challenge car in a 2017 Tifosi series. Their start was a bit rocky. The car caught fire at Sonoma Raceway, requiring an engine rebuild, and later causing some electrical issues. They got the car back together, and ... it wouldn’t move because the clutch got contaminated with oil. At their first race at COTA, their battery went dead so they missed qualifying (but got the car running with an old fashioned push start). Starting from the back of a 13 car field, in the pouring rain on an unfamiliar track for the first time on rain tires, and hardly able to see due to the spray from the cars ahead, Ethan turned OFF the stability controls, and passed 12 cars on the way to a second place finish. He finished the series as champion, winning 8 of 10 races, without any accidents, and never going off track or spinning. Wowza! Congrats, Dave, Ethan, and the rest of the team!
