Default Say Goodbye to my little friend

That day had to come, but for me it is not bittersweet, just bitter.

We sold the ULZ735 to a track racing, boat racing kinda guy from Canada. 735 is the estimated flywheel HP now with the record breaking 623 RWHP put down at Katech this Summer.



Johnny O'Connell having his way with the Halltech ULZ735



He flies in from Canada this afternoon, to conclude our business, but obviously will not be driving back with the car with -15 degree wind chills on PSC2s.

The car has only 22,000 miles on it, much of it to and from Katech for upgrades, and tomorrow is no exception. We will trailer the 2008 to Katech for a full roll cage, 5 point harness, and ARE Stage 3 Dry Sump System. We sold the CR9 carbon fiber wheels back to Carbon Revolution earler this year for testing on a new OEM platform that we are all waiting for. We'll be ordering another set for this racer. Check out his company:

Congrats Jim on finding a new home for the ULZ! I took a look at the video of the new owners business that you posted and he's in one of the few "hobbies" that makes the expense of motorsports level stuff like the builds we have done look like chump change lol!

You're a good man Charlie Brown. I do see this car as the ultimate c6z in terms of original design parameters taken to the monetary limit. Looking forward though
