Hey everyone thought I'd spread the word, Im going to take a shot at the mountain this year, I will be running my GC8 in the Time Attack Class. Currently there are 27 entries in the time attack class alone. As some of you know this is the first year the mountain is completely paved!! Hence my entry. I will be posting progress as the build develops, during the months leading up to the big day hope some of you can make it out to watch some records tho on a new surface fall.

Switching the direction of flow to match that of the radiator. Hot side of the core will now be the hot side of the radiator, no more hot charge air working against the cold side return of the radiator. Im starting the fab on the piping with a new spearco, core this weekend. Ill post up pics. I noticed the spearco core is far less dense when looking threw it as compared to the current garrett/perrin core i have. Every little bit helps.

I'm hoping to get out there and photograph the event this year. I'm still trying to work out how to get a media pass though. If it works out I could help you document the event.

I am hoping to be there crewing for Brianne Corn in her #968 time attack AWD entry.

Gotta give you a bit of shit for referring to yourself in the 3rd person. That said, best of luck

Scratch that, I won't be able to make it this year. I checked my calender and I'll still be out-of-country. I'm going to miss the hill climb by less than a week. Damn it!

Ok so its been a little bit, No turning back. After many talks with industry partners, We came to the conclusion that the mishimoto fan shroud was getting in the way of airflow, Basically when the fans are running under high speed strait, they are creating a blockage and doing more harm than good, So needless to say im not running a shroud this go around, a single SPAL fan will be used. We toyed around with doing a rear mount radiator like Zen, and so many others, i just read GST is now doing the same. Sick for sure but I dont have a bunch of time or budget for testing so im going with a traditional setup but high efficiency. So far I have stripped down the car with help of friends, Pulled the front end apart, tore out the front hood latch support, cut the upper rad support and ordered some parts.

Torn Down

Gutted the front core support and hood latch

Tied the headlight support into the radiator

Mean while paint work has begun

Core showed up
Look how much more surface area you gain with the grill trimmed out

Notice the gap between the core and radiator, Velocity will stay up
