Geoff May was the fastest racer around Homestead-Miami Speedway during the final event of the CCS Florida Region’s 2004 season, December 4-5. Although he didn’t break the track record he currently owns, May did come within a mere fraction of a second of that time. May won the Unlimited Grand Prix, GTO, and GTU races after fighting his way through traffic to get to the front and then opening a gap on the rest of the pack.

As usual for the December event, the Wood family was in attendance to run the Penguin Racing School and compete on the track. Each went home with multiple wins. Jeff Wood won the Heavyweight Supersport and Heavyweight Superbike races and finished second to May in GTO and Unlimited Grand Prix.

Jerry Wood won the Ultra Lightweight Superbike and Lightweight Formula 40 classes. He announced that the Penguin Racing School has arranged to come back to Homestead for the CCS Florida season opening event on Friday, February 11, 2005 for both beginning and advanced racing schools. Additionally, he extended an invitation to all the Florida racers to compete at the CCS/FUSA LRRS race in June of 2005.

Eric was the winningest racer in the Wood family with three first-place finishes. He won the GT Lights, Lightweight Superbike, and Thunderbike races.

Florida’s current number 10 plate holder, Marco Martinez, had already secured the points lead before the final Florida series round and will be presented with the number one plate for the 2005 season.
