We currently field two purpose-built Chevrolet Cobalts competing at local asphalt tracks in the 4 cylinder divisions. Wilbert\u2019s has a long standing history of being involved in local short track racing dating back to the 1950s. This tradition continues to this day and became a motivating factor in our commitment to develop a race team. In the fall of 2018, the decision was made to field two cars in an effort to revive a legend created over 60 years ago by our grandfather Arthur Wilbert.<\/p><p>The A-1 (Arthur) Golden Bomb makes its official return to the race track and will be flanked by its twin the P-1 (Peter) Golden Bomb. Both cars are rolling tributes to men who left a lifelong impression on anyone fortunate enough to cross their paths in life. They were responsible for founding, forming, and shaping the reasons our family stands proud today. With some very big shoes to fill we hope everyone can get a chance to come help and cheer on the new Golden Bombs.
