It was mentioned that someone was racing it at El Toro next month?

The car is scheduled to hit Anaheim, CA today in advance of the RTTC event. We will be attending the cruise and dinner on Friday evening and racing on Sunday – can’t wait. If any of you are in the area, stop by J-Star Motors at 8200 East Crystal Drive, Anaheim, CA 92807 and check it out.

Also just registered for the RTMC in May – hope to meet more of you this spring/summer.

We recently put the engine on a resistance dyno to completely dial it in. It produced 1012 hp and 950 lbs/tq at 5600 rpm and 12.72 lbs boost and pump gas. I think we’ll keep it there for now as I learn how to drive this beast. Here’s a link to that dyno pull:

Here’s also a tour of the finished product:

Question – This will be the first year that I participate in autocross, any suggestions on a good helmet and anything else I will need?

Thanks!

Do you know anybody experienced?? Jerrod, the owner of J-Star Motors in Anaheim is scheduled to drive it. At this point it is purely for fun, she is grossly overweight and obviously overpowered. Should be a fun ride! We want to get our feet wet on the track and hopefully build a car specifically for these events in the future.

What, that's like having your best man spend the night with your bride.

We are a little different out here in the midwest!

No doubt, and worse, he'll be recording it!

Are you doing the RTTC?

You bet, both days. Last year was the best time I've ever had with the car.

What about Optima? Oh that's right, I forgot, that was Iceman.

I enjoyed it a lot more than Optima. Way more seat time(Friday Practice) and the real core guys of both sites. Don't get me wrong, the Optima Challenge was a blast and I hope to run again.
