English Racing’s Amazing 2011 in review.

What another amazing year for us. Wanted to give a huge thanks for all the local and national support.

Recap in list form since I am a bad story guy.

-8.35 out of Jeff’s auto Talon
-More 8sec passes in one year than any Mitsubishi has ever had. Over 60 :)
-9 sec pass out of our 16g DSM and probably more 10sec passes than any Mitsubishi has ever seen. I lease the car to Billy to race. I know she has an easy 100+ low 10sec passes. Not one broken part. Same motor since 2009 :)
-We built 46 motors this year. Did 33 motors in 2010 and 32 motors in 2009. Did not keep track before that. So this puts us well past 100 motors. I would say we install and tune 95% of them. So we really have a feel for what our motors do in the car.
-We did the 1st US auto EVO.
-Largest year in sales yet
-Started road racing some
-AEM EMS4 working on our turbocharged 700R Raptor 140whp 1 cylinder



2012 is looking to be even better. We have now moved into our new shop. The Dyno and shop in one location. We have a real waiting room and nice office for Aaron, Myles and me. The quality of work, organization and efficiency is improving a ton. We are going to try and grow our online sales this year. Hope to start shipping more motors since we have such a proven motor building system in place. Also I think we are going to be adding a military discount. Not sure yet on the %.

Here is the Video of the year. Sorry to those I may have missed or cut off a bit. Took me most of today to do this Video.

Great job. looking forward to 2012. im bring in my talon next week for a qoute on a cat. can't wait to see the shop!!!
 
Thanks.

Yes come check it out.
 
I'd love to see you guys get into rally cross ;)

By the way what circuit was that? I've always wanted to go to a real circuit. I'm not huge about drag racing.
 
Done some Rally Cross in the past but really does not get the speeds I like :) Just like auto cross to slow.

There was PIR, Pacific Raceways and Marryhill hill climb.
 
Very inpressive Lucas, you guys are doing such a great thing for all of us DSM'ers. I am a couple weeks out from starting up the new motor from you guys, and after motor break in will be back up to see you for a SD tune. Keep up the great work and I know that your 2012 will be even better than 2011. I look forward to seeing the new place.

That's what I was guessing but never got the chance to go to either. As far as the rally, I can understand that. But for me there is nothing like not knowing if you are going to slam into a treeROFL.
