I took a group of customers to the World Challenge race in Salt Lake. Since we are s sponsor, I went looking for our product. I started talking with the guys from Black Dog and can not tell you what fine people they are.

Ray Sorenson from Black Dog offered to give my guests an overview of the car and how the team functions. He offered without even asking. Just really fine people.

What is the silver box forward of the battery?

timd38

They use the Optima to start the car and them have a really small battery in the box.

trackboss

got it. I figured something was going on with the battery cable connectors there and the fact that the yellow is usually chosen for "ballast" over the red optima.
thanks

Unfortunately, it was 12th out of 12. We qualified 5th, and were running strong, when we had an issue with the brake lights. The guys fixed it quick, but when you miss any time at all in a sprint race, you are about done. Tony continued to turn top 3 lap times, but was just too far back to get it done.

I met Ray and chatted with him a bit on Saturday afternoon. He is a great guy as I was told by a woman who works for me. Her sister is married to him.

Their car and their transport are top notch as is one of the crew guys I chatted with.

I might have to paint my car black!

Scottie will tell you that is the Anti Matter Reactor.........

We were looking at the car at the St. Pete Grand Prix this year. One of the crew members struck up a conversation and invited us to take a closer look at the race car and answered lots of questions.
Nice promotion of the marque, their shop and the series.
Thanks alot.
We hope to see you again next year!
