The full motion race car similar being built in our facility took her first steps this past weekend. Getting calibrated over the next 3 weeks – then it gets certified - and then it’s open for business just in time for the month of May here in Speedway Indiana ! There are 2 in Italy.

This is one wicked car game !

Hi Todd !

The nose won't get any higher. The design is setup to drive the front of the vehicle downward when it contacts other vehicles. They get airborne far too often as it is.

Hey Jim! That's good to know (wipes sweat from brow).


That simulator is a-w-e-s-o-m-e! A dozen of those would make the ultimate car guy game room.

Hi guys,

Been a while. Haven’t been working on the 65 porsche. It’s been setting there waiting for me to come back…

It’s been a busy year at work building stuff. Thought I’d share some pics of the new 2015 Indy Lights car for you. Merry Christmas and Enjoy!

Jim

Take one of theses.

Add some of this.

Add some fasteners and other stuff.

Default Motor

Engine is a 2.0 four cyl built by AER. It this series its set to 450 hp with a Push-To-Pass adding 50 additional hp. The factory guys here doing the install and testing said they have run it reliably at 800 hp. She’s tiny and sounds great !
