After consecutive championship-winning seasons in 2002 and 2003, Bildon Motorsport had taken most of the 2004 season off. The team is busy with challenging careers and with the build of a new VW VR6 Corrado for the fast ITS class.

The first race of the year was to be held at Pocono Raceway. Don Thompson would again campaign his VW Golf in the competitive Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Improved Touring class and Bill Sulouff would bring the yet untested Corrado VR6. The team planned to again make a title run for the New York State Road Racing Championship (NYSRRC).

The weather in May in the northern Pennsylvania mountains (Pocono) can be questionable at best, but this year would prove to be warm (nearly 80 degrees) and sunny. In the first qualifying session Don qualified fastest giving him pole position. The team was worried that without fresh new tires, the car might not be quick. In the race however, Don held the lead throughout the race over the second place Alfa Romeo.

Bill's fortunes were not so good. On the very first lap of the car's very first event of '05, development gremlins hit the Corrado and sidelined it for the weekend. Plans for testing the car in it's new configuration had to be scrapped the week prior due to scheduling conflicts and the result was a car that was not ready for prime time.

An ITB class win for Don in the first event! A nice way to shake off the cobwebs from the long off-season & winter! Sunday would prove similar with a pole position and another race win for the #50 GTI. To put the icing on the cake, when the team gathered the final results and trophies Don learned that he had set the new ITB track lap at Pocono International!

For the GTI, a successful start to the 2005 season indeed! For the Corrado...back to the drawing board.
