Chronology | |
Predecessor | Stohr DSR |
After driving an Elden FF for several years in the early 1980s, Lee Stohr designed and built several of his own Formula Fords, Formula Continentals and a Formula 3 type car. In 2001 Stohr moved into the D Sports Racing class. Their first national championship came just one year later with a sports racer with Mark Jaremko driving at the SCCA Runoffs at Mid-Ohio.[2] In 2005 Lee Stohr and Wayne Felch expanded the business with the introduction of the faster WF1. The company was one of the first to join the Formula 1000 class in early 2007. In 2014, Stohr Cars was acquired by Dauntless Racing of Vacaville, CA. In March 2021, Stohr Cars relocated from Vacaville, CA to a new and larger facility in Denver, NC
