Happy 2012 - A look back at 2011...the season of kill.

This was a great year as far as personal drag racing accomplishments go, but I can't wait for the 2012 season. Planning to keep it going with the stock turbo, however I will be working closely with MAP and will be running their EF4 as well. Will also be doing a 2.3 build to get the absolute most out of both turbos.

Put together a little vid of all of my filmed races in 2011 - didn't realize how many times I launched her, haha. Enjoy and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's a Curt Brown spec 2.3 Buschur Motor. All Manley forged stuff in the bottom end, Curt Brown head with gsc s2s. External stuff will be MAP quality. Tuning/wrenching will be done by J&S Dyno. Upgrading the clutch to an Exedy Triple. It will be mean...very mean.

Stock turbo/stock motor record. STM currently has the stock turbo record.

Had 30,000 miles and probably a hundred launches on the Exedy twin. Really surprised it was still holding strong. Have yet to look at the plates, but I imagine there isn't much left.

I appreciate the support guys . Plan to gut the Evo like a fish as it is officially retired from daily duty. Gunning for some very quick times this year .
