Overview:

Throughout the process, the group will need to utilize the skills that high-performing executive teams use to be successful.

Please call us at 800-513-8759 and we will explain how each one of these relates directly back to your business:

Some Details:
The group alternates between Strategic and Tactical planning sessions and building the actual car in a professional fabrication shop.

During the process, participants will also have a professional individual assessment of strengths and weaknesses

Using the expertise of Dave Hanna, author of Leadership for the Ages and ith the expert advice from master fabricator, Richard Weber, groups will completely put together a Cobra in three days.

Without giving away ALL the fun details, over the three days, the group will follow this process.

Here is the best part!
Keep the vehicle as an incentive for employees:

Employees will never expect the executives to create something specifically for them and will be completely unexpected.

And what person would not want to drive a Cobra for a week?

After a certain amount of time, perhaps a year, the car will begin to lose effect as an incentive and other options are available -- see below.

Alternatives to the idea above or after the vehicle has lost its incentive effect:

• After the program is over, there are several options available:
• Auction the vehicle off and give the proceeds to a charity of the organization's choosing.

Richard Weber
Richard Weber was an early employee of All American Racing which was formed by Dan Gurney and Caroll Shelby in 1965. Richard, who at the time was a young fabricator who loved racing heard that All American Racing was looking for talented Fabricators. Richard who at the time was living in the Sierra’s jumped in his car and headed for Santa Ana. At the time his right leg was in a cast so he managed to work the accelerator with his crutch and the clutch and brake with his left foot. Upon his arrival at the AMA he had the simplest of interviews. He was asked to show the staff what he could do. Richard grabbed the welding gear and some material and proceeded to demonstrate his talents, which earned him not only a job but a prominent spot in the fabrication of many famous projects to roll out of All American Racing until he retired in the mid 90’s. Of course Richard could not stay away from fabricating and racing and has worked on many projects from custom components for High Power Race Planes, to the creation of his own Race Team.

In 1967 Goodyear tire and rubber Company asked Dan Gurney and Caroll Shelby to build “Indy Cars” to compete against the dominate Firestone sponsored cars. Richard was the one of the few fabricators of that time that could work with the raw Titanium materials to build the chassis of the car which was designed by Len Terry of All American Racing in Santa Ana California.

Since that time he has been involved in fabricating frames for all levels of automotive racing From Grand-Am to CART, as well as custom components for Air Racing. Currently he has his own Race team (sprint car) with not one but two 800 horsepower cars in the stable.
