Congrats. It seemed to me to be by far the most "street" there. The Grand Am LGT wagon was ridiculous, and an atom too?? C'mmmmon.

Oh forgot to mention----

Spoiler alert..


We won USCC 2007----yeah---we only had less than two weeks to get this car together---motor was totally torn out--was getting it ready for euro GP, but we were last minute invites after someone dropped out---funny how things worked out. Not one single person would even talk to us or look at our car---they did not think it would be competative enough---until after the dyno session where we laid down 622 Ft.lbs. of torque to all 4 wheels--750ftlbs. at the crank.. We could have done more power, but we were running unleaded fuel..

I just picked it up yesterday at an airport it was a pretty good article. I think they could of had a few cars replaced with some more fit to compete on a similar level. But, it was nice to see a wider scope of cars that were on different platforms.

Nice job with the S4 it has some nice power. Did he enter his car originally and then became runner up when someone dropped? I saw the registration for next year and noticed you would be notified in late spring for next years event. Hats off to you guys becuase the other teams had an edge since im sure they prepped their cars much earlier.

About 6-7 months prior to the event, we talked to jay--editor of SCC about entering and we were told no. Then a week and a half before the event, someone dropped out, so Jay called us and asked if we wanted to participate. Of coarse we said yes as we looked over the torn apart motor, heads to one side, pistons/rods on the bench. We put the car back together over one weekend, innovative turbo built the turbos in only 4 hours and got them out to us, Edge Racing build us side mount intercoolers in one day, shipped them next day to us. Alot of things aligned just right and we got the car running. When we got to the event, other teams/cars had their hoods popped, when we did ours, not one person came to look--They figured we were just going to be a door mat compared to these "monsters." After the dyno event, things changed. People wouldn't even talk to us---was kinda like high school--kinda funny.

Thats funny but i give you props in doing that in such a short time. I know as well as many others putting together a motor has its complications and fortunately yours went very well.
