I think it's more Loles than Farnbacher. I've heard farnbacher is doing biz as usual.

Shop seems to be closed and Zone Tech Tactics has been moved to Danbury Porsche. I don't know if the shop closing is temporary or not ...

Farnbacher Loles websites are all down as well.

I wanted to try and make Zone I tech tactics this year, last one I went to was easily 10 years ago

Marc, I am thinking about getting there this year too. Maybe we can finally meet. Same date - Feb 27 but moved to Danbury Porsche instead of FB.

Its official....talked to an "insider" there....its done..place is empty save for the lifts and ligh bulbs. Greg Loles scammed a bunch of money from a church and its the tip of the iceberg.

So everyone lost their jobs and the race team is dead?

That's really sad.

I was about 3/4 mile from them yesterday morning (Danbury Fair Mall), I should have driven by. Perhaps next time I'm there, I'll pull in, take a look, maybe take some pics.
