I heard that the GM cars changing from the 4T65E autos to the X-trax because of the crashes last season. I guess it mostly a converter lock up issue under decel. In think Jason Hunt showed everyone how its done.

 

what about that Leevon Eisele dude..

 

Where's Tony Fuchs?

I do not know where you are getting your info. But if he is not driving I am out of a job and last time I checked his name was still on the door of the car and I still have to show up to work. You better get better intel!!!!

Gardella has a new car which was finished before he crashed...so he planned on either retiring the crashed car or adding it as a second car. The new car is more suited to the ProFWD class

 

i here you guy have 2 cars

 

If you dont have it Fabmab will build it ....

 

nelson sold his profront car to marty

gardella has a new chassis for profwd, and the old chassis is going back to hot rod with the smaller turbo

john brown is done

the xfactor could be bothwell... whether lummus will stay in hot rod, step up to profront, or park it all together
they had that car moving at the end of the year! Steve Bothwell is the man

and whos driving?

 

If anyone is looking to buy a pretty fast sunfire or cavalier, not to mention some well built ecotech motors Bothwell might be a good place to start. Please dont bother them if you are not serious. They are very busy working a normal 9-5.

from what i hear, bothwell is going to add 4 more cylinders to their cars this year

Shaun's SRT4 Neon was at NuFormz, sitting there as of September. Bodywork was repaired, but he's too tied up with drifting and pro stock to finish it / campaign it
