Are those shots at Summit Point, WVA?

Oh yeah, predy car. The roof scoop, though probably very functional in getting cooler air to the motor, is a bit bulky towards the rear. But if you like bulky rears, that's not a problem.

Looks very nice. Certainly distinct looking.

And please tell me you are going to race it. I can't imagine DEs being very much fun in a car that fast.

So YOU are the owner haha, Ivan had that up at the last NASA HPDE, just sitting out on the lift on the trailer. That thing is AMAZING, i never knew they made rear tires that big! Ivan was also telling me about the power it was putting down and i was floored.

everything on the car is perfect as well, it really is an amazing car. I would LOVE to see that thing run, and i know my arm would be brused from the window

Ha ha!! I never claimed to OWN it!!

It was built for CR. It needs the roof scoop for airflow through the intercooler. The body was designed by the aerodynamisist the worked for Jordan in F1.

It clicked off a very easy 2:00 flat at VIR this past weekend at the lowest boost setting putting around while sorting the chassis out.

Thanks for the compliments, it's been a long road.

Any pictures of the interior and electronics? I assume M800 and ADL or SDL?

M880, ADL, SDL, DBW4, E888 and CDI8. Sequential gear box with custom paddle shift. Drive by wire.

95% of what is painted blue is Carbon Fiber. Cockpit adjustable custom sway bars.

This pic is while we were installing the electronics. I will try to find a finished pic. The car has carbon floors, dash, console, etc. You name it, it's carbon.

That sounds great. I had heard about this car being built. I'd love to see more pictures of the electronics. It looks like there is an MDD, not SDL on the steering wheel.

Kind of looks more like an Xbox 360 controller, for when you have to sit in the pits for a while.

Hell - even the cool suit cooler is CF ;-)

FWIW - you could cut about a pound off the wet weight by removing the spray paint and racer's tape from the dash.
