We won with the eclipse at Super Lap Battle finals!

Detailed writeup next week, video, all coming soon! But the quick version is we blew up a gearbox, Sam and Robert at RRE came through with one for us to use, Karlo and Nick busted ass to get it swapped in over night. We limped at minimum power and an open diff and still won by 3 seconds!

...

So knowing that we would have to do some serious street miles for this engine break-in and with how crappy the factory headlights are I commissioned a friend of mine install projectors into the factory casing. I had a huge gripe with most of the projector retrofits on 2g DSMs. I feel like the stock reflector is really good looking and that when people replaced the reflector altogether it never...

A quick update from KBR shop

NSFAB Nick rejoicing haha





The head is basically stock with a nice valve job but trust me we'll still make power

Rich @ TEM Machine worked late every night to get this thing together in time for this weekend...

TEM machine working into the night and trying to get as much of the long block assembled as possible. If we cant get a motor by friday we're scrapping the race. This is cutting it real close guys. Wish us luck. Nick (NSFab) flying in tomorrow morning. KBR is standing by, we just need the motor in our hands and we're rolling.

check it out!

wooohoo 1.8 seconds of fame! Just realy rare for an engineer to get TV time you know. Its usually drivers i guess adjusting...

My sponsor and friend KBR Performance Vallejo, CA pulled the engine out of the car last week. They stripped the long block down and my now full sponsor machine shop TEM Performance Napa, CA is on the case.

I was really happy that TEM came through to sponsor us on the labor for the engine because I have NEVER found another machine shop that I trusted at this level I was really paining...

So since my newly found free time with my lost job and my car being down with the blown motor, I have been opened up for some good things!

I'll be arriving at Laguna Seca this Wednesday to work again with LG Motorsports in American Le Mans series. As you may know they qualified second at Petit Le Mans just a week ago so I have big dreams with this one. The Corvette has been reborn...

checkout the shots from the helicopter at 0:41 and 0:50 freaking awesome!!!!

Man, we were really moving out there we had a strong shot at street overall before the rock went through the timing belt.. ahhh racing

I'm sorry to have to deliver bad news but a foreign object went through the timing belt and the engine has been destroyed. I do not have the money for another engine. I'm sorry but we will not be competing in RTA for the duration of the season at least. I need to find a job.

I am back in the US! We are getting ready for the race at Spring Mountain in Pahrump. I never expected the car to be ready to even shakedown but thanks to Nick Salyer at NSFab working tirelessly for two weeks, we will be there for some shake down, test & tune. We're not expecting to win because we're going easy on everything with the car (unless a miracle happens) but we're going to make a showing...

This document was actually written some months ago but recently modified for public release as we're trying to promote our team for next season we're looking for sponsors and/or cars to drive.
