Launch Vid

[Wright D]

I wanted to share this cool vid with everyone!

F1000 Launch

Ready for a standing start?

[dwornik]

Dustin, I just saw the video you put on ApexSpeed / You Tube.....that's really cool. I am sure that this is a very exciting time for you and Gary.....the birth of the 2013 car.
I have heard a little of what is coming, and know that this car will 'fly' when it gets out there. The new upgrades along with the better quality & fit of the bodywork are going to put this car right at the front again.

[Christopher Crowe]

-- can't wait to see the new one. Are they being assembled in Phoenix or in San Diego? Also, when/where will be the car's debut outing?

Good luck with the entire enterprise ---

From start to finish the cars are being produced in our San Diego machine shop.

[Nicholas Belling]

Congrats Dustin and Gary.

Both of you deserve a huge round of applause for the millions of hours you put into bringing this new born phoenix into this world !!!

[JohnPaul]

that car looks sick!

BTW: million hours is 114 years

Some cool pictures of the car and testing

[Richard Dziak]

Wishing you continued success in your race car building.

[Wright D]

Thanks Richard!
Here are some pictures with the body work removed.

looks like Gary needs a phone book to sit on; and cut the window on his helmet a little lower so he can see the dash
Petty fancy steering rack

That's some mighty fine lookin' suspension geometry !

[Wright D]

Thanks Racerdad. I worked diligently to maintain a suspension geometry that maximizes mechanical grip while still allowing for an aero package that maximizes front wring and floor efficancey. Not to mention that it looks wicked cool.

[Tiago Santos]

Between the car and the VMC's in the back, that's pretty much my dream shop

Thought I would post some pics of the body plug as it evolved. This car was designed and built completely in CAD. Most of the plug was cnc machined and held to a tolerance of under 1/16".

The gap fitting on this car is the best I've seen. We spent hundrds of hours getting it right the first time.

I don't like painting cars because of the added weight so we made sure all the body panels were as straight as could possibly be before we went into the mold making stage.

The body fit is so good that painting is not needed. The white car in the pics above has ZERO paint on it.

To say we were obsessed with fit and finish would be an understatement.

We are officially building cars now so those interested contact Dustin or myself. Chassis #2 and #3 are in progress and will be hitting the tracks by end of summer.

I can't wait to see this car out there screaming. Wishing you guys the best.

I like the geometry with the rack so the column is high. I have the permanent scars on my achilles from a low rack and mid cut boots.

Good luck!

We make T Racks, have over 20 in use now. I like the way they make footbox ergonomics less painfull. I also like the ability to left foot brake without steering shafts and or steering knuckles in the way.

You can easily get a size 14 shoe in this chassis, even with the footbox faceted. A 6'-4" driver weighing 240 pounds will fit and still need to add ballast to make minimum weight, this car is crazy light.
