Great idea Mike. I should call it "Crazy Z Racing" - It's a Z06 and my last name starts with Z. For the record, there have been many hands in this project. To this point, Cartek built the current motor and turbo kit, Neverlift built the suspension and auto tranny conversion, and another shop is doing the tuning. Going forward, I've asked Neverlift to continue to do all the fabrication on the car and any necessary changes to the turbo system and suspension.
Nobody should be jumping into any conclusions as to why I decided to go with different shops. It's mostly for personal reasons anyway so please don't ask me, privately or publicly, why I chose to switch. This sort of thing happens every day and I'm certainly not looking to blow it out of proportion. I have always given credit where credit was due. If this motor holds up to the new suspension changes, I have no problem thanking Cartek for building it. Right now, I'm just waiting for track results.
Ron, those tires are the same height and width as your ET Streets (26 X 11.5) but with a lot more sidewall since it's a 15" wheel.

Who cares if Joes tuner in a bottle built this badboy, you will have a lot of fun going against some real tough competitors this year at the pro-8. I hope to see you run in a few days.

Maybe Paul will call it " Polish Power Motorsports " , or "Crazy Pollock Racing " , would you feel better then ?

Paul, congrats.
Taking it to Leo at NL Racecraft was a great move.
I'm looking forward to getting mine done at NL.

I've know of Leo's work for sometime. I was one of the first to have him install a roll bar in a Corvette Challenge car. He asked me if I had a 7 or 8 sec car. I told him I ran mid 11's and I had to convince him to work on a car that runs that slow but I wanted a quality job.
Well as you know the rest is history, NeverLift Racecraft is now a Corvette Challenge sponsor and Leo is building his own Corvette for the challenge that he will be doing R&D development of new components for the Challenge car. Leo has made a big commitment to the series and we welcome someone of his stature in the racing community to take part in the ECS CC.

thanks
Thanks guys for the nice words......
It has been a pleasure to work with you guys....
as for Pauls car.... it is a new combination of custom Neverlift Racecraft suspension components and will need to be tested. I am sure we will have to cut our teeth quickly and have our fair share of pitfalls... hopefully where to put the trophies???... just joking.... as a builder there is not much better then appreciative customers and good working products... time will tell.....
good luck to all at the Pro 8...
