Dean has joined the 949 Racing Team for the 9th running of the 25 Hours of Thunderhill on December 3rd and 4th. The team is fielding a pair of E2 Mazdas and will only be satisfied with a 1-2 in class and a pair of top-ten finishes. We've put together a line-up of seven drivers to pilot the two cars to victory. Check out the 949 Racing Team facebook page to follow along as we plan, prepare and then execute.
Laura and Dean were featured in the Marin Independent Journal. You can see the article here.
Dean competed against 5 other drivers from around the country in Utah at Miller Motorsports Park in the Ford Racing Mustang Challenge Driver Shootout and emerged victorious! That won him the opportunity to race in the final two races of the Grand-am sanctioned Mustang Challenge racing series. Dean would like to thank everyone with Ford Racing, BFGoodrich, the Mustang Challenge and Miller Motorsports High Performance Driving School for their generosity and support. Individually, Dean would like to acknowledge and thank Lynda Randall of the Mustang Challenge, Dan McKeever and James Burke of the Miller Motorsports Park High Performance Driving School and Joe Foster of Dempsey Racing for their support and assistance through the Shootout and race weekend.

The Thomases are both active NASA Officials and compete as a team in the NASA NorCal Spec Miata Championship series. Dean finished 4th in the 2010 NASA Nationals in Spec Miata at Miller Motorsports Park in mid-September.
New for 2010 for the Momentary Laps team is Edward, an V8 powered miata bodied race car. This car was the brain child of Marcus Miller, and it was made possible through the incredible dedication and hard work of Aaron Braverman, Scott Miller, John Pagel, Clint Wolf and a cast of others who volunteered their time and expertise.
Dean's raced the car successfully in Super Unlimited with NASA, but decided not to take it to the Nationals this year until he's had more time to develop the car.
