About B2 Motorsports · Huntsville, AL
A family operation, thirty years in the paddock.
We put people in Spec Racer Fords and stand behind the wall with them. Same crew, same awning, every weekend. Here is who we are and how we got here.
The people behind the cars
The B2 Motorsports team
You are not handed off between weekends. This is the B2 Motorsports team that preps the cars, runs the office and works the radio all season. Cliff and Mark coach for B2, and Evan Slater, Morgan Burkhard and Dave Ogburn are coaches in our network.
Cliff “Boom-Boom” White
Owner, driver coach
Cliff has raced since he was five: quarter midgets in 1990, then karts, then his first Spec Racer Ford season at sixteen, in 2001. He won the SCCA SRF National Championship in 2012, 2014 and 2015, and the 2012 Road Racing Drivers Club Mark Donohue Award.
He owns B2 and coaches our drivers. He sets weekend and session goals with each driver and reads the data with them after every session.
Cliff loves helping people have fun and learn. He teaches our customers why the cars work the way they do, and why their driving inputs cause certain responses from the car. He loves seeing the progress, and the joy on a driver’s face when they get out of the car. Five years out, he wants B2 to lead the industry in transparency and in cost-effective SRF racing, and he wants our customers to become a team and a family.
“I love the complexity of motorsports. It takes a whole team, not just a driver. It teaches physics and engineering, and it requires precision. As a driver, you have to be able to drive fast while only using a fraction of your mental capacity to leave room for decision making and strategy.”
Mark Eaton
SRF consultant and driver coach
Mark is a third-generation racer. His grandfather raced sprint cars in the Northeast in the late 1940s, and Mark came up through karts before racing in IMSA's WeatherTech and Michelin Pilot Challenge series and in USF2000. At nineteen he was selling Spec Racers and Formula Enterprises cars for Robinson Motorsports, and he has now spent thirty-two years in Spec Racer Ford. He won the Formula Enterprises National Championship in 2007 and 2008, and the 2008 Triple Crown.
Mark has been Cliff's crew chief and coach for his whole Spec Racer Ford career, including the weekends he could not be there in person. That covers all three of Cliff's SRF national titles (2012, 2014, 2015), the SRF track record at Palm Beach International Raceway in 2014, where they ran away from the field, and the 2016 track records at Summit Point (SRF3, 1:20.058) and VIR (SRF, 2:11.632). At the 2001 Longest Night 24-Hour at Moroso he was crew chief and one of the drivers for Robinson Motorsports, whose Spec Racer Fords won overall. The winner covered 1,707 miles.
Today Mark consults for the shop, backs up our driver coaching and joins the team on big weekends. He is B2 South: based in Melbourne, Florida, with one of our rental cars, close to Daytona and Sebring.
To Mark, everyone at B2 is on the same team, and every driver is chasing goals they set for themselves. Passing on what he knows makes that driver's weekend better and the whole team stronger. Five years out, he wants B2 to be the ultimate destination for a packaged race-weekend getaway.
“It’s the only place I can legally and safely drop the hammer and get that adrenaline fix.”
Todd White
Crew Chief
Michael Pfeiffer
Operations Manager and mechanic
Michael played baseball from age eight up to Division I at Eastern Michigan University before turning a lifelong passion for motorsports into a job.
At B2 he runs the day-to-day business: bookkeeping, contracts, customer communications, shipping and storage administration. He also works on the shop floor and at race weekends wherever he is needed.
What he likes most is the people: finding the solution that works, whether a customer needs a place to work on their own car, a spot to store it, or support with a racing program. Five years out, he wants B2 to keep growing without losing the family-owned feel: the go-to shop for SRF3 preparation and support, the best DIY storage and membership garage in Alabama, and the same personal relationships with every customer.
“It is a sport that constantly challenges you, no matter how much experience you have, and always finds a way to humble you when you think you have everything figured out.”

The name
Why B2
Three reasons, and all of them are true. You can Be a driver Too: racing is not only for people on television. Business to Business: our customers help each other turn a passion into something that pays for itself, and we make the introductions. And Boom-Boom, the name Cliff earned with a crash at Road Atlanta in 2001, his rookie Spec Racer season. It was not the only crash that year, but it was the one that stuck, and Mark Eaton still brings it up.
The shop
2919A Bob Wallace Ave, Huntsville, AL.
Home since 2022: the cars, the crew, and now storage bays for members.
How we work
Three things we will always do
Classes on alignment, help choosing gear and a used car, one-on-one coaching. Lack of information is the biggest hurdle in this sport; we remove it.
Line-item pricing, our maintenance checklists shared, and a conversation before anything unexpected goes on an invoice.
This is an expensive sport. We will actively discourage spending that does not improve safety, performance or the experience.
Who our drivers are
The people in the cars
Some came from sim racing, some from karts, some had never been on a track. One has been racing since 1976. See the routes in, from the first track day to a full season.
The VRBO had a big game room, ping pong, foosball, a dartboard, and enough space that our debriefs kept getting interrupted by somebody's questionable serve. It made the weekend feel like a team weekend.Summer Sizzle at Road Atlanta
