I was checking that car out at tech Friday evening. Very sweet ride! He was flying too, won both days:

I didn't get to take any pics because I was chasing car problems of my own all day Saturday and had to load it up that afternoon, but these guys usually take track photos at MSR:

I emailed them earlier to see if they were there last weekend but haven't heard back yet. It usually takes 2-3 days for them to get pics up anyway.

It wouldn't be in my best interest to talk about customer's horsepower numbers. It's just something this racer will not do. She runs strong for the numbers it makes!

Here is more info!

That was a best guess on the Flywheel Horsepower. More or less what we use for a sales term.
I'm sure he had to show his RWHP rating at the time of the event. The car is a legal ST1 car

Holy Smokes that's a Awesome/Fast Car, I just got thru with all the old posts and vids, somehow I missed this last year when it was built.
2700 lbs and 600+ Horsepower at a great price!
I don't think my little 400 HP LS6 is going to cut it, I better start building an engine or I am going to be getting a nice view of his tail lights at the track.

PS
Where can I get those cool marker light decals?

Take care,

I will send the customer a email right away on this issue. It's been a year since it was on our dyno. From my understanding it has been to someone else's dyno in the great state of Texas.

Race weight doesn't always have to be a build weight.

My camera was pointed the wrong direction to get any video. I would have to turn it around to get a few seconds of him closing on me.

JK. But that car is real fast and the driver isn't any slouch either.

I am the guy with #76 (#176 now). Thanks for the compliments on the car I appreicate it. I am still trying to learn to drive it. My experience at these tracks has been with 125 shifter karts, so this is some what different.

When I went thru tech at MSR on Friday night, I showed them the complete file which had the weight slips, classification forms and dyno sheet. I met with Ken Brewer on Saturday morning and gave him the complete file. If there is something else I need to do please let me know.
