With the 2005 Cannonball One lap of America underway, the #56 car piloted by Dave Henning and Chris Regan is currently placed 3rd in class and 40th overall. The first event, the wet skidpad, the RX-7 finished better than 5 of their competitors in the SSGT2 including an Elise! They pulled 0.780 G's in that wet skidpad competition.

At the second event, held at Indianapolis Raceway Park, they were held up because they didn't have time to change brake pads to Hawk blues. Chris was doing the driving, and said the brakes were fading badly. After the change in pads to the blues, Chris piloted the quite car nicely. Dave suspects that all of the cars ahead of him are specially prepared or purpose-built for racing.

Bill Stuart, who is Dave's and Chris's contact to the internet said the following yesterday: "Dave called from the road somewhere in Ohio. They are headed to BeaveRun, and expect to arrive there around Midnight. Racing starts again at 8:30 AM, and Dave will be doing the driving there and at the oval at Lancaster Speedway. (He's say Chris has no interest in ovals. Can't blame him. ;)"
