"Steve Sanders at Mazda Motorsports Development has approved this move from Mazda's marketing perspective as have my current associate product sponsors, Mazda, NGK Spark Plugs, K&N Engineering, Mickey Thompson, Weld Racing, MicroTech EFI, Idemitsu Racing Oil , Rotary Performance, and GForce Transmissions. Additionally, the power will be coming from Kilo Racing/Central Florida Turbo, Rotary Performance, and possibly Turbonetics. The combination of Jesus Padilla, Rolo Lopez, and master rotary tuner Chris Ott for power has me extremely optimistic. We will go fast." The chassis for the new car will be built by Tito's Chassis Shop in Lake Hamilton, Fla. "My choice would have been to have this work done locally; however neither, Kim Smith at Smith Race Craft or Nathan Martin at Cameron Racecars is able to build this project," said Scheepers. "Additionally, Tito's has built several of the top back-halved Puerto Rican cars that are similar and I feel confident they will build a safe and competitive racecar. " Power will come from a turbocharged, peripheral ported, electronic fuel injected, two-Rotor rotary running on methanol and producing approximately 900 horsepower for the 2,000-pound car. The team first will utilize a Mickey Thompson 31 x 13 tire and GForce GF-5R Transmission. A Strange Engineering all new aluminum 9-inch rear end assembly with brakes will help the starting and stopping while Strange double adjustable shocks for the rear and Strange Engineering's lightweight Aluminum Strut Package for the front, along with Chassis Engineering's Top Gun 4-link suspension, will help tune the car for fast passes. Weld Spindle Mount front and Aluma*Star 2.0rear wheels will ride on the corners. VP methanol fuel will be delivered by a Weldon 2345-B electric pump and ignited by NGK's racing spark plugs. The precise control all the fuel, ignition and boost will be handled by MicroTech's LTX-16 EFI unit.Lubrication will be provided by Idemitsu Racing Oil. Idemitsu oil, made by the largest Japanese lubricate manufacturer, will be available to the public for the first time in the United States this summer, and the team was one of the first to use and test this lubricant, which will be filtered by premium K&N Oil Filters. Scheepers hopes to take delivery of the new car by the second week in June and begin testing by mid August to possibly compete in the last couple of events in the 2004 season with an eye to 2005 and beyond. "I believe this selection is my best choice for what I am sure is going to be a fantastic new racecar," he said. "Thanks again to the associates at Mazda Motorsports Development and Mazda North American Operations for making this possible." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Privacy policy© Copyright 1995-2004, NHRA.
