Let The National Racing Begin

The 2008 SCCA National Racing season kicked off for us in the Southwest at Phoenix International Raceway on January 19th as two Phoenix F1k.07's were entered. Scott Dick, from Cincinnatti, OH piloted one of our customer cars an Matt Conrad again piloted the prototyp car. The prototype experienced a broken header at the halfway point and had to retire leaving the first National win to Scott. The FB track record was established by Matt at 1:01.5. Considering that the lst time Matt was at PIR, he left with a broken ankle after his brake pedal failed in his Maloy DSR and he contacted the T1 Safer barrier at 117mph....not bad.

The second race was the very next day and after a header repair back at the Phoenix shop, Matt vowed to get his first win and lower the track record. Practice and Qualifying were uneventful and the team focused its efforts on the race. The header repair held and Matt was able to take the win and lower the track record to a 1:00.4...a full second off the previous days time. Still not as fast as we wanted to go....but the car came home in one piece and we have two National wins to show for it. Sorry...we didn't get any photos or vids of this event.
