Uh, they raced yesterday. BJ started in 15th, and by the 2nd to last lap, was up to 5th. Unfortunately, two Firebirds squeezed by and he finished 7th. Cronin and Hayner finished 3rd in their Z though. Not a bad finishing for the Zs on a horsepower track (and the Z has about the least amount of hp in the GS class).

I agree. Bodes well for the rest of the GA Cup season. Hopefully the Z gets a win soon!

We make the covers ourselves in house. They are complete units that replace the headlight for day racing and help save a couple pounds in the process. I can find out how much a set cost's, just drop me a PM if your interested.

We didnt do that bad considering our situation with the new engine mang system.

We worked our way up to 4th and were actually closing on the Unitech. We had to go into fuel conservation mode towards the end and then had to make a splah and go which dropped us back to 7th. We had a couple of issues with our new mang system. One of them was running a little to rich which hurt our fuel mileage.
Both teams are starting to work together as we need to.
Performance had some bad luck with their new car and guess who was their to lend them a new hood and front window.

The Schuitemaker team did an excellant job this past weekend with the cards that we were delt. The hard part about racing is that your always looking for ways to beat time on the track....but can never add more time off the track when faced with certain situations.
Trust me after what we have been dealing with ....I will take the points and the finish....Congrats again to Unitech team...after all they are running 350EVO sway bars.

BJ,

Glad to hear both teams are working together. Four strong Z's will make a potent combo. Sharing info will help develop the car faster.

BJ,

Problem at Daytona is the track makes you leave at 6 pm no matter what. If the car is doing fine its great but if you have problems you can't stay over and work on them.
