THE TEAM
Building and developing a Pro 4 race program is a full time effort which involves countless late nights and steadfast dedication that is hard to imagine without being at the race shop and seeing it first hand. During the race season, there is little time to focus on major new development initiatives, but rather it is dedicated to refining and debugging the current race trucks. In the off season there is no time for rest, as development continues, which is often as extensive as building new vehicles.
There are many other members that make up our team, and we welcome you to come to our pit at the races and introduce yourself, or watch them work, or email us and a team member from the appropriate department will respond back.

Driver - ADRIAN CENNI
Adrian Cenni’s passion has always been the need for speed. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Adrian entered a Formula One driver’s search competition in southern France. With zero driving experience, he placed 6th out of 500 drivers in a three month elimination competition & was the highest placed American driver. He was hooked.
Cenni came back to the states and gained experience racing Formula Renault & Spec Racer Renaults at the club level. After continuously winning, he was ready to join a Pro series. Adrian test drove a Formula 3, a Le Mans prototype, a Formula Continental and a Pro 4 off-road truck. By leaps and bounds, the Pro 4 was his favorite. Adrian had Walker Evans build his first truck and manage his program. Adrian won within his first season, and won two more races in his second season. After the events of 9/11 Adrian wasn’t able to return to Pro 4 racing until 2006.
Since his return, Adrian is always a frontrunner setting the fastest qualifying or fasted lap in the race. To date, Adrian has 11 wins in Pro 4, and dozens of podium finishes. Cenni thrives in the wheel-to-wheel competition that is short course off-road, & in the very near future is expecting a points championship.

Jeff Frana
4 championships - Pro 2
Personal Bio
Jeff grew up in Illinois, where he liked all things mechanical, especially RC cars, bikes, snowmobiles, and real cars. His fascination with these things led him to Michigan Technological University. After spending five winters in the upper Midwest he convinced himself he would not live there forever. Several years later the timing was right and he made the move to California, and have not regretted it since!
Race Bio
Jeff’s racing career started when he was 10 years old. He raced go-karts in Illinois and Wisconsin for 8 years. In college he joined and later led the Michigan Tech SAE Mini-Baja team where we designed, built, and raced a single seat buggy every year. This sparked his interest in off-road racing and desire to turn it into a career. After college he worked for Taylor’s Off-Road Racing, became Scott Taylor’s crew chief, and helped him win several Pro-2 championships in the CORR series. Next he was up for a new challenge so he helped his brother build and campaign the first ever 4-wheel drive Super Buggy in the CORR series. His desire to expand his off-road experience led him to the Baldwin Racing Team, based in Wisconsin. He helped prepare and build Pro-4 and Pro-2 trucks in CORR, and Trophy Trucks in the SCORE series, for Jason and Josh Baldwin. He quickly decided small town Wisconsin was not for him and planned his move to California. The timing worked out just as Barlow Motorsports needed a new crew for Steve Barlow’s Pro-2. He quickly moved to crew chief position, the next year we built a Pro-4, and Rob MacCachren drove the Pro-2. In 2009 we built a Pro-2 truck for Ricky Johnson and helped him win many races and finally the 2010 TORC Pro-2 championship. My current efforts are managing the crew, shop, and race vehicles for Brian Deegan and Adrian Cenni in the 2011 LOORS and TORC off-road series.
