- Background & Plans
- Bill Pemberton has been urging me to post the build of my car for a while so I am going to listen :). This car started as an FS autocross car and was then moved to ESP then CP. I then decided to build it as a track car. I have been building this car since 2011 and have enjoyed every moment. I currently race the car in NASA ST2. There are a few unique things about the car. It is an early coyote swap car (circa 2015). I got a gen 1 motor from Rehagen Racing when they were moving to s550 chassis. I used the stock t3650 but had Bob Hanlon do some upgrades including a 0.8 5th gear. When i started pushing the limits of the chassis the archaic ABS rear showed its limitations. I upgarded to a MK60 with the continental program. Still have more aero work and driver mods to make.
