Here are a couple more shots during the race.

 

Looking good Pepe!

I'm still trying to figure out when I can get down to visit. Someday soon I hope.

 

Thanks!
Next race is June 23-24.

 

Pepe, did you repaint your STooK? I thought your car was black.

 

No. I still have my Silver/black.
Fito's car is black.

The race car is a new one that had a slight accident (rear ended a barrier after a spin) when a potential buyer was test driving it. The guy had to give my friend a considerable amount of money plus the insurance covered the repair. My friend then decided that this was the chance to build a really good race car. So here you have it.

 

what all has been done to that car?

 

So far we have done the following according to local rules for the ST (stock) class. We can't do much to the car but since it's a good performer stock there's very little needed to make it a great race car.

Engine: Mugen header, custom 2.5-inch exhaust system with N1 muffler, K&N filter.

Brakes: Hawk blue pads all around, Goodrich brake lines, Speedbleeders, Motul 600 racing fluid

Suspension: H&R Springs, Mugen Sway bar, Spoon X-brace

We are working with Scott on a set of custom Moton Shocks with fixed spring perches and that should round up the suspension.

Safety/other: Dual Sparco seats with Sabelt/Sparco five-point harnesses. Custom Cro-Mo six-point roll cage.

 

I hadn't seen that pic before. Real cool!
