I'll be at the Trans Am & SVRA race in Sebring Feb 26th through March 1. 

Trans Am Info HERE & SVRA Vintage Racing Info HERE



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a whole catalog of Vintage-Warrior chassis packages that fit into the SVRA vintage racing classes. As well as 6 new Race-Warrior chassis packages for Trans Am racing classes. So I'll be shaking hands & hanging out with friends in the pits. If you see me in my typical black logo'd shirt, stop & say "howdy."

I had a good time at the Trans Am & SVRA race in Sebring.  I finally got to speak with Andy Lally (TA President), Aaron Coalwell (TA Technical Director) & Rob Elson (SVRA Technical Director) in person.  We've talked many times via phone & email about our new Race-Warriors for the Trans Am classes & Vintage-Warriors for the SVRA Group 10 racing.

I got to catch up briefly with Thomas Merrill (2022 TA2 Champion).  Thomas was in my driver development program several years back. He raced in Formula 2000 with Neil Porter under our umbrella & even ran a couple USA Midget races in my cars. Great racer. Great young man. He runs for Mike Cope Race Cars in the TA2 series. 

Chatted with Jeff Jefferson who has a great new race car program with the Trans Am series called TA Cup (TAC). They are building TA2 style race cars with full on 900HP NASCAR Cup engines. Great Series & a less money than a new Trans Am Race car. Which, by the way, I learned is just under $600k turn key.

I am confident a smart racer with fab skills & a shop can build a brand new Race-Warrior Trans Am Race car for under $300k, turn key. If they have it built by a shop, expect $400k. A lot of money ... but still $200k less than current sources. HERE is the link to our TA Race-Warrior Package. This is my all new design, with 11 advantages over the current competition. I am 100% confident the TA Race-Warrior can not only run up front out of the box, but win races with the right driver. Tuning assistance provided, of course. 

There are two other cool classes for Tube Chassis Race Cars in the Trans Am series ... XGT & SGT. 

XGT is basically GT1. We can run 850-900HP V8 engines (Carbs & No Electronics), 5-15 year old Trans Am 80.65" bodies & Trans Am level aero (wing & splitter).  The TA Race-Warrior is what I recommend for building a car for XGT. It can also be raced in SCCA GT1.  It makes it a easy & competitive transition if the Racer decides to start in XGT & step up to TA1 when they're ready. Only the silhouette body needs to be changed to a newer model for TA1.

SGT is similar in speed to SCCA GT2 & Trans Am TA2.  These run a 4-barrel, restricted V8 & make about 600-625HP. This class allows both 5-15 year old Trans Am 80.65" bodies @ 2950# or 79" TA2 bodies @ 2900#. I designed two specific chassis packages for this class. One for the 80.65" TA body & one for the 79" TA2 body. See HERE. A smart racer with fab skills & a shop can build a brand new GTS Race-Warrior for Trans Am SGT racing for under $200k, turn key. If they have it built by a shop, expect $300k. Similar to a turn key TA2 race car from one of the top shops. 

A big deal was meeting with a picking up a couple of top race car builders to build Turn-Key Race-Warriors & Vintage-Warriors for RSRT clients.  I already knew of them, but got to see their race cars & handi-work up close.  These new "Authorized Warrior Builders" will be listed in the updated catalogs coming soon.

Final Race results from TA, TAC, XGT, SGT & GT1 are all HERE.
