[QUOTE="CobraR77, post: 11371603, member: 3006"] Doc, very good info. Firestone Firehawk was the main sponsor of the IMSA Street Stock Endurance Championship (EC) series for 100 races 1985-1994. (Yes, there were some 1993 Cobra R’s that raced in the series. Check out the 1995 Texas World Speedway video I posted. You will see the Steeda #47 1993 Cobra R in the intro.) The series didn’t have a major sponsor 1995-1996. Around the time of the 1997 IMSA EC race at Daytona, IMSA was sold and it became Professional Sport Car Racing (PSR). Notice at the 1997 Daytona race the cars have IMSA decals. After that the series became the PSR Speedvision Cup. PSR struggled for various reasons over the next couple years and even lost a Trademark Lawsuit with SCCA. The Speedvision Cup schedule dwindled to just 6 races in 1998. Also, in 1998, the Canadian based Berman Motorsports Group (BMG), sanctioned by SCCA Pro Racing, started a 12 race street stock series known as the Motorola Cup. Several teams raced in both the Speedvision Cup and the Motorola Cup series in 1998. As best I can tell… After the 1998 Speedvision Cup season, what used to be the old IMSA Firehawk EC essentially dissolved. Teams switched over to the Motorola Cup which was eventually acquired by Grand Am. The series became the Grand Am Cup, then the KONI Sports Car Challenge and then the current Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge. IMSA Firehawk Endurance Championship (1985–1994) IMSA Endurance Championship (1995-1996) Professional Sport Car Racing Speedvision Cup (1997-1998) Motorola Cup (1998-2000) Grand Am Cup (2001-2006) KONI Sports Car Challenge (2007-2009) Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge (2010+) [/QUOTE]
