This was our 1st season in this car. Previously, it was run by Craig Wilcox for 2 seasons and was very successful under this watch. We took the car and improved upon it in several areas.

Our success is as follows. And we plan to continue running the car in the 2012 season with better results and more tweaks to follow.

*DQ’d for lack of turbo inlet restrictor. Car was found to be illegal despite no performance advantage.

Than you to everyone who offered support, guidance and a helping hand! One of the reasons I continue to run this sport is the friendly people. Without the help of our sponosrs, competiteors and friends our season would not have been so great.

THANK YOU!

I had a much prettier version of this in word format, but could not for the life of me get it uploaded.

Such an awesome car. What are your plans for changes? Thought Craig Wilcox had this bad boy perfect.

Thank you Jarod! I appreciate all the help and input you provided also. Believe it or not. The plan is to try and make even more events next year!

Thank you very much! I've known Craig a long time. He certainly provided us with a good baseline. But there was much to be improved on.

2012 will consist of a lot of changes. As well as lots of testing and tuning.

We are about maxed out on power already. So the goals for next year are.

-Revamp almost the entire suspension
-drop 80-120lbs out of the car
-find a way to get more speed out of 2nd gear
-make more power?
-try to find some aero some how
-buy a 4th and 5th set of wheels
-hit less cones
-drive more consistently
-delve into video and data acquisition seriously
-upgrade diffs?
-burn up lots of hoosiers!
-utterly destroy the competition!!!
-have more fun!

Thinking about a new color scheme too...

That is quite the list!

Any chance we'll see you in el toro or san diego this year?

ratt_finkel

Marshall, I'd love to make both of them since they are on opposing weekends.

But I'm definitely doing both CO events and the NM pro. I'd really like to make the Packwood event too. It's still up in the air though.
