Contact Ali or myself if your specific car is not listed in the eligible cars list at ustcc.com (Ali's phone and email can be found at ustcc.com). Provide your engine modifications so he can assign you a weight. Hope to see many of you SE-R Cup competitors out to join USTCC in Fontana-- be prepared to have a great time!

Its running pretty good, I would have had a really good chance of winning the 03 SE-R Cup championship but I hurt my back and missed the last 4 races of the season. We were close to a 3 way tie for the championship. Got two wins, 4 seconds, 3 thirds, two poles and no DNF's.
The car is on the heavy side because of the cage and a lot of issues with what was done to the car when the cage was built and what had to be done to fix it, I'll show you next time I see you. Basicaly when Lou built the cage, he cut away major structural parts of the unibody while building a minimalistic cage. The caused the car to litteraly start collapsing on itself after driving it two events. The shock towers started to bend inwards, the doors wouild not open and the roof was buckling. Had to pull the unibody straight, weld in reinforcements where he cut the structure and add a lot of tubes to the cage. Kept the car alive but added a bunch of weight.
I guess you would not recognize the car anymore, it looks quite differernt, its 4 seconds a lap quicker at Willow than it used to be. it has turned low 1:37's with me driving and I am not that fast.
