Amber and Angela's first year driving a late model race car definitely had its ups and downs, but it was somewhat expected. They were all learning, the driver's, pit crew, Mom, and sister Ashley too! Our expectations our first year was to drive the car and get as much seat time and experience as possible. Our ultimate goal was to finish each race.  Sponsor, State Fair Brand Corn Dogs, gave the Twin Motor Sports racing team a terrific start. Amber and Angela drove a Chevrolet Monte Carlo late model car to 18 races throughout the Northwest. Both Amber and Angela took three top ten finishes each. Even though both girls have very different driving styles, they continued to tackle the challenges of each track they drove. The most difficult part about their first year of driving, was that they had to share the car. There would sometimes be three weeks before one of them would get back into the seat, losing precious learning time. Over all performance, it was a great first year for the twins. We discovered that they had to overcome an ill-handling racecar. The car was always loose for girls to drive. Making it very difficult to put the throttle down and drive off the corners without the car trying to come out from underneath them. Amber and Angela's first year of racing was a tough one. Realistically they got only half a year each in racing the car. We felt, as car owners that the girls needed more seat time. Therefore the 2001 race season would have to have a two car race team.

Posted: Jan 16, 2008 ANGELA COPE WINS THE $100,000 IN THE FORZA MOTORSPORTS SHOWDOWN The Finale episode of the Forza Motorsports Showdown turned out to be a real nail biter with the winner being named within the last seconds of the show. The Air Ride Technologies team with driver Angela Cope won the $100,000 prize by only a couple of feet on the Road Atlanta Road Course. With many of her competitors experiencing mechanical problems, Cope and the Air Ride Technologies team were able to make a run for the front. The margin of victory was 3/10 of a second over the YearOne Challenger driven by Clarence Barnes. Angela and the entire team had to take the teasing from the other teams, particularly Clarence Barnes, about having the only girl driver but in the end, they showed everyone how a team working together can get the job done. You can catch re-runs of the Forza Motorsports Showdown on the Speed Network. Check your local listings for an airing time in your area.
