Here is a video from some testing at Cal Speedway back in November, the car just recently went under the knife for a bunch of new upgrades as well, I'll get pictures soon

Cal Speedway:

 

Made it out to the final round of the Lotus Challenge Series for 2008. I won the Ultra class time attack on Saturday and Sunday as well as setting the track record for a "sports car" on sunday for that configuration.

Video from the time attack Sunday:

 

Video from our demo wheel to wheel race(some good action)

 

UPDATE!!! She is alive again!!! Initial dyno tuning resulted in a very conservative 267hp/177tq at the wheels. That is right near the 300/200 crank I was looking for and its a very safe tune for the track. 

Here is a video on the dyno:

I know our cars are built for handling, and I know you might not be interested in doing this but - I would LOVE to see 1/4 mile stats so I could get a sense of acceleration after all your mods. I LOVE the car!!!
