The car is currently not in Lexington. It is being tested out on the West Coast.

It should be making its way across the country soon though.

Congratulations on your race program. Just for the sake of accuracy though, there haven't been any Saleen Cobras in World Challenge in a couple of years, but there are currently a couple of Ford Mustangs and Saleen SR351 Widebodies running. Audi won't be running the RS6 anymore either. Other than that, I completely agree with your assessment of World Challenge. It's a blast.

Have you guys already submitted your VTS to SCCA? What kind of times were you seeing at Willow?

I think that if it is stock bottom and internals, its closer to 400hp@wheels, and rather 500 at crank. I knew about this for a few months, was just waiting for Igor to say something about it.
It has mild motor modifications, but nonetheless awesome

It would be more like 375awhp, gtrs have a more than 20% drive line loss.

Champion Audi will not field a team this year. They are talking about putting something together for 2006.

Randy Pobst will be driving a Mazda Touring Car in World Challenge and there is no official word on whether Michael Galati has a ride. We've been told that things are in the works, but nothing definite yet.

STaSIS Engineering will field a team in Touring Car.

.
The VTS- we are working on now.

As far as times at Willow - we are not releasing any of that information.

We are a little disapointed that the Audis are not going to run this year. Hopefully they will be back for 2006.

It has no real modifications. Its just a Nismo built N1 motor for Super Taikyu. It actually rated at 490 hp at the engine.

We have not dynoed the car yet. But that information will only be for us anyway.

Michael Galati without a ride that is suprising. So it looke like the bmw will be the guys to beat this year.

Yes I just do this for the love of cars.

Just need a few people to convince my wife that its the thing to do. Rent and bills suck when I spend too much time playing with cars.

The things that I am supposed to be doing back up. Get me in some trouble.

Oh well, its not everyday you get a chance to play with a real race car.

K. Not like that kind of info is hard to find anyway.

There will be plenty of competition in 2005 without Audi. With the rules changes, this should be a good year.
