That car was initially built with a holinger. I think it still had one at that time.

The sound reminded me of the laps you posted with your WC cars.
Music to the ears. In another thread I read where you posted you would shift as high at 7500. Am I recalling that correctly?

Does the holinger autoblip on downshifts or is he doing that himself?

Is that our old #28 from 2007? Dash looks like our car. Or is that the SpeedSouth car?

Its the 2007 car. Youll notice the earnhardt bar, as well as the empty rectangle hole in the dash, that used to house the old school FJO.

They added a motec dash, proper loom, it still had the bosch ECU, and only a flat shift cut, no blip, Jason. They did tear the car apart and rebuild it sometime around 2010/2011 I think.


I believe I delivered it to Nick/CRP in the fall of 2007.

If that doesn't excite you then you're not a car guy
