What great pictures. You should be a professional photographer



We will visit Speed Source again. Possibly this summer sometime. The guys there were very impressed with our cars and knowledgeable questions. You can watch them run on Speed Channel next Saturday and Sunday.



This BBQ was a great time. Thanks to everyone who came out.

No pictures of myself...I had the black third gen with the FEED front end, carbon fiber rear diffuser and single turbo. Had the bronze Volk wheels.

A nice 2nd gen done up for drag racing. Didn't get a chance to talk to the owner but apparently he's using Chrispeed's old turbo and puts down just over 400rwhp. The turbine side was VERY small however, so I'm a doubting thomas on that one. It was about as big as a small grapefruit or large orange! Compressor side was much larger. Overall a good looking car and he's obviously put a lot of love into it.
That is Crispeed's old turbo. Last dyno, just before last moroso event, it made 556rwhp w/ 419torque. It still has more to go as according to Chris it still has plenty of injectors left. At the track it ran 11.2@132mph on 18" dr. That was its first and only pass that day as on the second pass it broke both axles, on the third it broke the tranny.



Thanks for coming Michel and many thanks for the pics.

The results from Daytona test days (Jan 3-5) are on the Grand Am series site.

http://www.grandamerican.com/race_results/...tresults57.html



Tremblay and Haskell in #70 were 12th overall, 1st in class.

Schlessinger and Tuaty in #68 were 14th overall, 3rd in class.

Walker, Wollersheim and Fanelli in #67 were 16th overall, 5th in class.



Of course you never know who's sand bagging, but all three cars in the top five during testing can't be bad.

Tri-Point's cars are making about 240hp with the help of Mazda. Each engine cost a bit over $20K and none of the parts internally are stock. It's the only car in class that's allowed to do this. Politics.
