Texas Tuner Showdown

The year to refocus

Over the past few years, this team has gone "All Out" in pursuit of the NHRA Modified Championship and in 2007, we came very close finishing 2nd in the Championship and ran an incredible 7.27 ET in the process. In 2008, we will focus on making this car more reliable and powerful, run a limited schedule and raise the bar and attempt to run a 7-flat ET.

Unfortunately during December 2007 and January 2008, I suffered the loss of my mother and as a result, I had to make two trips to South Africa. Consequently, I have fallen behind schedule and my goal is to compete at the first Battle of The Imports event in Orlando April 12-13.

Changes to the car: During the off season, I consulted with other rotary gear heads and I spent may hours analyzing a lot of data that I had collected from the PCS D200 data acquisition. Conclusion: I had to make some rather substantial changes to meet my goals. Will they work, time will tell.

Since the rules for the "Modified" cars remained the same for the 13B rotary as it was in 2007, this meant that I had to stick with the 80mm turbo charger. My Garrett GT47 80mm had worked flawlessly for over 2 years so that was not going to change.
