1. How is the car doing on the fresh build? What were the previous problems that prompted this new build?

The fresh build is uberstrong. We installed individual EGT’s cause we had issues with exhaust valves bending due to heat, but Ferrea and TD worked diligently to get the issue resolved. Their products are top notch!! We have multiple track and dyno hits and the motor is a champ! We also had an issue with a rod bearing earlier this year. So we now do all of our engine builds inhouse!

2. Have you been had a chance to test the hatch on the track yet or is the car fully dialed in and ready at this point?

The few passes that we have made have given us good valueable information. We found a HUGE boost leak on the compressor outlet vband flange a few weeks back. The car had not been ran since Miller F’d us up @ MIR. So the setup is more efficient and making good power @ the same boost levels.

3. Have you changed a lot of the car’s setup? Is the car getting the “outlaw” treatment?

The setup is pretty much the same. We are adding a catchpan under the motor and probably removing the passenger seat. Besides that its not getting any changes besides some spark plugs and an oil change!

4. This rivalry with T1 and the other racers is funny very entertaining. Where did it all begin?

Tony is one of the most down-to-earth guys I deal with. From a friend/advice standpoint and from a business standpoint! On the other hand, the shit talking has been going on forever! We talk more shit over text and facebook to each other than any of you can imagine! Most of us do business together! Speedfactory/ cesar from Stage6/TPR ROB/ garry eng /norris we all buy from each other and help each other out! the shit talking is just an added bonus. I think I end every sentence with cesar with “im gonna bust your ass”.

5. On the Miller situation, this rivalry seems a little more like a grudge match. What what do you have to say about the comments made?

Whether it be poker/basketball/baseball or racing, everyone wants to be the best! This sport is about $ and he with the most of it will win! At the end of the day when I read Millers interview he got a nice text message that read ” you have a slick ass mouth, im gonna put my &^%$ in it in NJ”. to which he nicely replied ” fuck you” lol (he thinks im kidding!)

6. Is there anyone besides Miller you are looking forward to seeing at the Line? I hear the EK and Reynolds have a score to settle unfinished business!

Beating Reynolds would be nice. We never really got that score settled @ MIR! But honestly i would like to see everyone there! seems like only 6 of us have put $ and id love to take home my full $10,000!! Id love to line up against Tony also…. dunno what would happen but its someone we never ever lined up against!

7. The Fall Nationals is perfect grounds to get the last laugh of the year, on one of the biggest stages in the US, being Englishtown. What do you guys have to say about the event?

Being the last event we plan on attending for 2010, we are planning on putting the motor at the verge of destruction! I hope people do the same and dont hold back! Breaking CERT is something that may happen. I hope we put on a show for the fans and that people talk about the event for months!!!!!

8. You are one of the only K-powered cars signed up so far, in a field dominated by the B-series. Has this been more of a problem? What is the transmission setup at the moment?

I dont see any problems with the B series. Most of the cars quicker than us, have been @ the game waaaay longer and have more experience with their particular setup! we are learning more and more about the K and know it has the potential to hurt some B series feelings! The tranny setup is a PPG dogbox wth all the bells and whitsles. Together with the DSS pro level spool + axles+ intermediate bar! We wont let a broken axle cost us a race like it did with Cesthechump @ last years December NSCRA!

9. What would it mean to TD to bring home a win in the Outlaw Class?

The $ would be fantastic! No Lie! But i think we do it mainly for pride and shop exposure! A win to TD Autowerkes (the # 1 shop in the southeast US) will hopefully double yearly sales!!! lol

10. Do you have anything to say to the racers and the people who are thinking of attending the Fall Natioanls?

I say stop wasting $ at strip clubs and motels and book a flight! Ive seen round trip flights for $225 on jet blue an AA! Im picking up Shawn R on the way up. Mainly for RH. But this is the one event people shold go to! I can guarantee only 1 thing! TD will come back with either a WIN or a BLOWN MOTOR! but m not letting cocksucker Miller or any other asshole beat me again! 55 PSI or bust!
