This car belongs to a good customer of ours who puts the rubber on the track pretty hard. When he isn't driving this car so hard it's breaking, it's winning. We are proud to be a sponser for such a nice guy. If you see him in the pits at a NASA event, and he is't in the car, under the car or on the car, say hi. He has some good conversation.

Car as delivered.

Intercooler and piping needed to be updated also. Headlights and buckets were removed so intercooler could be flipped upside down and new, shorter piping was fabricated for quicker spool response and less drag due to fewer bends.
