    Mitch will be running in the Reisentoter Region PCA event on July 25-27. Once again at Watkins.

    The car now has a 6 point Safety Devices cage, Momo racing seats and harnesses. We will post a link if we get more video.

    So much awesome in this video! What kind of power was that car putting down?

      M42 on boost sounds like fun to me... one of these years...

        We are running at 170 to 180HP estimated.

        Last weekend he cut 4 seconds off his lap time and is now turning 2:28 at Watkins Glen.

          I think he got a mix up between "maximum boost" and "supercharged" :P

                Are you on the stock ECU? Or, rather, what is your tuning situation?
