Default Prima Racing trying out World Challenge?

press release are on the website at http://www.prima-racing.com

There are lots of hurdle trying to make this race. We didn't know for sure if we are going to make it until yesterday. There are still few stuff we need to overcome but we are confident.

Since the car won't even done until Tuesday, we won't even have time to do a test day, we will be lucky if we don't finish last

Stories on how the whole ordeal go will be up on the website when I have time to write everything down.

thanks guys.

BTW, special thanks for Comptech, RedZone and HASport to make this possible!! Especially to RedZone who will have to pull a few really late night to make sure the car ready in time.

Can't wait to run with the big boys. Just had to install the mirror to make sure I won't get run over

Very cool. Hopefully, Infineon won't have as much carnage as the last race at Limerock. Good luck!

Thanks for the vote of confident Dennis. But to tell you the truth, I'm not so sure myself. If you just knew what happened behind the scene. The car was supposed to be done and ready for testing 2 weeks ago!

All this happened because on vendor dragging their feet and we couldn't get the product in time. It is unfortunate. Especially because it frustrated our sponsors like Comptech and RedZone who are putting tremendous effort into this program.

I was ready to bag it up and just prepare for San Jose Grand Prix at one point!

For anyone coming to watch the event. Please feel free to stop by and say hi.

Andrie! Congrats and good luck! Can't think of a more deserving guy. And yeah, there is serious doubt that you will even come close to last place.

Visions of the late great Paul Mumford come to mind. Go get'em, Andrie!

Just be sure to finish the race and you'll be guaranteed to not be last. I don't think I've ever watched an SWC race where everyone finished, so I don't think it happens too often. It seems to me like there's a lot of contact in those professional level touring car classes, so be careful out there.

guys, thanks for the kind word. I'll try not to finish last.

I do need to keep away from any contact as I will have USTCC race at San Jose Gran Prix only 2 weeks after World Challenge.

Hope I can represent Honda Challenge guys well!

I was at Comptech yesterday and saw your engine. They said they're probably have your engine done today (fri). You're cuttin' it close! Go get'em and get some HONDA points!!!

Jeremy,

we are running K20A2 engine. Comptech built it to VTS spec. Like Jon Merris said, we are cutting it close. Not Comptech fault, rather another vendor that caused all the unnecessary delay.

Monday will be the dyno tune. Like I said, I won't have enough testing before the race weekend. I'd be lucky if I don't finish last. It was tempting to sit this one out and just go for Laguna. However, all the people involved had poured their heart out for this and I hate to dissapoint them.
