We plan to build power in the off season in time for the 2012 season.

After getting towed in every session on friday due to intercooler hose popoffs, Steve Mitchell donated the hose off his personal GT-R R32 so she could run without issue on sunday. its a work in progress, but she still came home with 1st place in class...not a bad way to start the season!

That's awesome that she came in 1st in class. Have you guys dropped dramatic weight in the R32 or close to stock? It's a great choice btw, especially since the R32's are the lightest of all the newer GTR's (32,33,34,35).

We picked it up already stripped and caged. We've had to reinforce the cage a bit since it was unsafe as is...we will continue to build this car and find ways to take out more weight. We have yet to scale it yet, so we don't really know yet where we are at with it.

It's nice to see B13's still running around a track. I always had a soft spot in my heart for the original SE-R. Dropping a GTi-R engine in it is pretty slick.
