    Latest Press Release

     



    We are really looking forward to the 2008 season. We made the switch from the 10.5W tires, to a more user-friendly (traction) 33X18.5 Hoosier DOT tire. This will allow us to put back all the power we had to kill on the launch in order to keep the tires from going up in smoke. Another change we made was to raise the stall speed on the converter to 4800 from the 3400 it was at last season.

    One of the most important things we did was what you'll read in this story.

    This is all very exciting, I see you've only got a couple weeks left before the season starts. I'm not far from you, I'm in New Bedford,MA and maybe we can watch you run at the track. Good Luck this year, we're pulling for you!

    Thanks, it would be great to meet up with someone from here sometime during the season. Make sure to let yourself be known if you stop by our pit for a visit.
