Young American takes win at Snetterton

Congrats to American racer Patrick Long for his win at Snetterton in the Winter Series of the British Formula Ford Championship. It is good to a see an American get a chance to show some talent and then go ahead and do the job as well. Rightfully so, European racing team owners take a pass on most young American drivers because our feeder series do not prepare a racer for the rigors of the much tougher racing arenas throughout Europe. It is very good to see a young rising star do well in a historically difficult championship.

Good luck to Patrick Long.
