Adler P14 FF  History
1987  We first introduced our new Adler F2000 car at the 1987 Molson Indy. Of course this was without any testing, just a few laps around Mosport for checks. First session out we were 12th fastest but slipped to 16th in qualifying. In the race my hastily conceived front anti-roll bar design failed and I spun. We recovered with an odd handling car to finish 9th. With regret that was our best result for the rest of the season. 1988
 For 1988, we made a new lighter frame with a double hoop roll over bar and widened the front and rear track. For the first time we also had sponsorship from Dick Baker who owned Canada Transport. Regrettably we had a rough season chasing top end speed. We tried 4 engines in our 7 races with no solution. It turned out fuel delivery was the culprit ... long story. 1989
 For 1989 we made a new high tail section and were hoping to race that season. Running a small business and our young family became a necessary priority, so that was it for us. 1989
to 2022
At the end of 1989, we moved out of the city to rural Prince Edward County. The car sat up in our loft all this time gathering dust until one morning in 2019. I was minding my own business sitting out on our deck with Joan. We were having our usual morning coffee when quite out of the blue, Joan said we should restore the race car. And she even made it sound like a good idea. I can honestly say that the thought had never even crossed my mind. I knew instantly we were in trouble. A project like this will consume a lot of time, money and energy. Other parts of life will suffer. However with Joan's constant support, the car isready to run again. At first Calabogie test.
