The team will join up with HotBits.CA in Salem Missouri this month for the 100 Acre Woods Rally, and VW Honey Jar Challenge.
Where last year was spent constantly revising the motor setup, and other major mechanics of the car, this year should be much simpler as the hard work was done in the off season. The car is now sporting a well tested high compression 2.1 Liter motor with high compression pistons, race specific connecting rods along with its Extrudabody ITB's and SCR plenum all managed by the Haltec Sport 100 engine management unit.
The HotBits suspension has proved incredibly reliable and ultra hardy requiring no upkeep despite the last few years of pounding.
Brooks Freehill at 4040 Racing has upgraded the undercarriage protection, and upgraded the exhaust. The car is also sporting a very nicely fabricated subframe and lighter skidplate courtesy of Built-by-Bones in Loveland.
Testing has been very successful with this setup and the car has been surprisingly tunable from 5000 ft to 10000 ft and has been run in temps from 80 degrees to minus 35 degrees.
All of this proves very exciting for the start of the year.
Stay tuned for updates!
