The New Garrett GT Racecar is Here!
October 5-7
<< Back
PHOENIX (AZ) - After a pair of testing sessions on 1/8 mile tracks, the Garrett Turbochargers/Bothwell Racing Team were ready to step up and race the brand new Garrett GT Mustang. The venue would be the Pacific Street Car Association's Outlaw 10.5" Tire class. It would be a test of the new engine program, the Garrett GT55R, a new platform and rear-wheel drive racing against competitors who have had all season and, for some, years to shake down their cars.
The freshly-wrapped hauler pulled into the parking lot at Firebird Raceway and unloaded a stunning 2006 Mustang GT sporting a matching blue and red vinyl wrap. Immediately, they stuck out like a sore thumb amidst all of the stark white RVs and muscle cars in street clothing. Soon competing racers were stopping by to question the newcomers and find out what the team was bringing to the table.
What the Garrett GT Mustang brought was a number one qualifying position with an ET of 7.568 seconds at 180.50 mph during the second round of qualifying in which driver Ron Lummus gained his PSCA license. Two competing cars would take notice and push themselves past Ron's time in the final round of qualifications, but Ron would still enter Sunday's eliminations mid-pack at the #3 spot.
The first round would pit Ron against the yellow Camaro of driver S. Zeinaty, the #4 qualifier. Ron would dispatch the competition with an ET of 7.722 seconds at 180.26 mph to Zeinaty's 7.794 seconds at 193.10 mph.
Round two scheduled Ron for a battle against top qualifier Ron Weems and his Pontiac Grand Am. When Weems failed to make the call due to mechanical issues, Ron took the bye run and powered the car down the track in 7.872 seconds at 176.21 mph to take him to the finals against R. Zehring and his super-consistent Camaro.
Zehring's times had been faster than the Garrett Mustang's all day by half a second. Zehring was having difficulty making the staging lanes, but the Garrett/Bothwell team, always good sports, decided to wait for their opponent and have the Outlaw 10.5 class conclude the event rather than make a run without a competitor. Finally, Zehring's rust-colored Camaro was pulled to the line. As the Garrett GT55R spooled on the line with the sound of a jet fighter preparing for launch, the team knew it would be a tough race. Though Ron got the holeshot, it would not be enough to fend off Zehring's charge as last year's class champion raced past to finish in 7.147 seconds at 200.41 mph. Ron lifted and cruised to 8.284 seconds at 127.71 mph.
All in all, it was a great weekend.There is much more to learn about the new racecar and the Bothwell team is sure to examine the data and test ways to improve speed, traction and power before the next event in Fontana, CA on October 20. Making the finals at the first race is a promising start for the Garrett GT Mustang!

Well James is saying he got no stuff from garrett
They gave away free turbos to the Pro racers/team
and helped with repairs and testing
Since SP F/R are not pro classes and there are no records being kept and very little payout
Garrett does not see this as a class to lavish free stuff on......
Just looking at it from Garrett or any Big companys point of view
Garrett did help out CM with a K specific turbo
so they do help where they can(making a turbo you can Buy)

Re: (misfertech)
Misterfech. nice assumption. but from what I know, Garrett does help a good amount of racers beyond what alot see from forums and from pictures on their site. just because you dont see the team profiled on the website or the racers dont speak out Garrett out of every sentence they say, doesnt mean Garrett isnt sponsoring alot of people in non-Pro classes. whether its product or testing, etc.
from what I know, Garrett has helped out alot... I mean alot!

The competition is going to be hot and heavy when the NHRA Sport Compact Series rolls into the Silver State for its first west coast event. The nation's biggest names in front-wheel-drive drag racing will be on-hand to tear up The Strip and set the desert night on fire with the roar of insane engines and the smell of burning rubber
Garrett Turbochargers understands the sacrifices that are made to race. A contingency sponsor for many years now, Garrett Turbochargers is stepping up the prize for the Las Vegas date and offering:
The Winner of the NHRA Sport Compact's Sport FWD Class on July 14, 2007 in Las Vegas, NV will receive a prize of $500 from Garrett Turbochargers.
The Runner-up in the NHRA Sport Compact's Sport FWD Class on July 14, 2007 in Las Vegas, NV will receive a bounty of $250.
The driver with the quickest reaction time (R/T), confirmed by his or her time slip, will be awarded a brand new, Garrett GT4294R dual ball-bearing turbocharger
The driver must meet the following qualifications in order to be eligible for the prizes.
The driver and car must be competing ONLY in the Sport FWD Class for this event and meet all eligibility and regulatory requirements stated in the NHRA Sport Compact Rulebook.
The vehicle must have an 18" Turbo By Garrett decal on both sides in a highly visible location. Decals will be provided by Garrett Turbochargers in either black or white colors. The decals must remain in place throughout the event of July 13 and July 14. A Garrett representative will be at the Clutchmasters/Team K-Series trailer to hand out decals to anyone wanting to participate.
The driver may not be disqualified for any reason during the course of the event.
That's it! You don't have to even have a Garrett turbocharger, just run the qualifying decals and you are eligible for the awards!
Checks will be mailed out after the race, but the GT4294R could be picked up directly after the final round of Professional Eliminations. Bring your time slip with the lowest reaction time (excluding red lights, of course) to the Clutchmasters/Team K-Series trailer after the final round of Professional Eliminations where a Garrett representative will objectively determine the driver with the best R/T.
You will have 30 minutes after the final round to show us proof of your best light. You MUST bring proof of your time, hearsay will not be admissible. You must be present to win.
Good Luck!

One more thing, I know those at Garrett and you are no where near seeing "their point of view". You are no where near being a spokes person for them.

MisferTech... everytime i see you post, its always something negative..
Weather your being condescending towards others on here, or Complaining about NHRA being prejudice towards Puerto Ricans/Latinos (lets face it, complaining about NHRA is your true passion), it never fails......... Just stop

dude -- you completely missed my point, reading owns you
my point == we are listed as a Sponsored Racer on TurbobyGarrett.com -- they say we run a GT4294r turbocharger which we never did and in fact they never gave us anything (except contingency) for the race car so I was wondering why we are incorrectly portrayed on their website both as being a sponsored racer and to what turbocharger we ran
