Yep congrats on winning the N/A class!! Being that 98% of the cars are running off the shelf parts I would expect one to win. But seriously, Big congrats to the Cognito team! Any win is not handed to anyone.
Congrats to the # 960 RedLands brand new, not off the shelf suspension, 32" tires Turbo car.
I believe the chassis was built by Thad at Fabwerx. Zane and the guys at Redlands were pretty specific on what they wanted though. Thad built their chassis right before Marc's BBQ'd RZR car. I was in constant communication with Zane during their design process. Him and I are anal about proper suspension geometry, and they were diligent to be sure their car had it. Marc called them " my buddies" and would always discredit them. Looks like their efforts have paid off as I knew they would, while Marc's program has been in full reverse for nearly a year now. So, a massive salute to the Redlands team on the success of their design. I'm glad it is now paying off. What a race to win. Cars and cash. Gotta feel good. Kudos to The Cognito guys for again spanking the turbo's. Lamberts looking pretty good going into the Mint. 2016 WORLD CHAMPIONS is a title well earned. Congrats to both teams on their victories.
My brother saw it on Facebook and sent me a link. They removed the quarter eliptics from the rear, and are running coil overs now instead. The truck looks pretty rough compared to what it once was. I guess the fact that it is still running and has value 27 years after we built it says something about our work (something besides it is a bulletproof, overweight tank I hope!). Pretty good deal though. Hell, he's selling the entire truck with spares for thousands less than the cost of the Leon Patton engine alone! 27 years ago. And here I think Marc is old and washed up. I'm a freakin dinosaur. Haha!.
