<p><strong>It was a development/science project from beginning to end. The opening event was the Daytona 24hr and turned into 24hr filled with problems beginning to end. First one that had to be solved was the gearbox. At the Sebring 12hr I forgot how many we broke that week. But we were loaded up and in the bar by 4:00 PM that day. Other problems during the year included aero, wheel bearing, suspension and the toward the end of the year, the tub itself. At Petit LeMans we withdrew one car because the tub was de-laminating and in the race the other one did not go much farther before retiring with the same problem. This car started the year looking one way and by the it was completely different. I had never experienced anything like this car before or after. But is a part of my <a href="http://indycompetition.com/history.html" target="_blank">history.</a></strong></p>

<p>Over the last 20 years we have been living in an era of leased engines. This done in both Formula 1 and Indycar racing. IMSA is heading in that direction as well. So you have a large supply of excellent race cars with no engine supply. Some people have solved that with motorcycle or raod car engines. Usually these are not very nice, nor are they fast.

So you have a large supply of excellent race cars with no engine supply. Some people have solved that with motorcycle or raod car engines. Usually these are not very nice, nor are they fast. At Indy Competition Services, we can solve that. We can do conversions to proper high RPM, 600+ HP 4 cam racing engines. These engines are available from several manufacturers, Gibson, Judd and others are great choices for these conversions.
