Default LG Motorsports Speed World Challenge car in the making (pics)

Hi GUys,

Just thought you would like to see what we are working on in the race side of the building.
Here is our Corvette Z06 Speed World Challenge car. Stripped it to the bare frame, and we will be on the test track in 30 days, then to Sebring on the 15th of March. to run against the Caddys.

We have to run the Grand Am Cam and GM Motorsports heads, untouched, with a stock manifold and TB. Should still be good hp.


Thanks
Lou G

Looks vaguely familiar ...

What progress since the weekend?
You guys still coming to MSR on Sunday for the "match race"?
Did the other cars show?

The design is in Lou's head and the fabrication came from Louis, his son.

I have to say that the design AND fabrication cam from both Me and Louis. We work well as a team. I will say this though, whenever i can, I let my son Louis impliment whatever we decide is the best way to build it. He has turned into an excellent fabricator and race builder.

It doesn't look like it's going to end up with stock suspension.

Good job guys, that looks awesome!!!!

That's amazing, I do a bit of small chassis work on BMW race cars, so I have A LOT of respect for that. Big to you guys. Can't wait to start building my suspension setu from you guys. BTW, is that a rottweiler in the 6th pic? I found some cool crap in the background of those photos! I'll take one of those shifter carts as well

Don't you wish you could walk around upstairs?

Imagine 30 years of racing, parts fabrication and performance R&D all stacked and piled up.
