Just wanted to give an update as to how the season has been going so far. We've raced the first two AVE Races and I have finished 5th in both races. First race we had a good pace and great starting draw and cut a tire on the second lap. Second race ran very comfortable pace and we ended up losing the intake for the clutch housing and blew 2 belts late in the race. I've started an Instagram account @dieterichracing if anyone wants to start following me there as well.
I've picked up support from a few companies so far this year and I would like to thank them. IWC Motorsports in San Bernardino, Ca. for my tires , Walker Evans for my wheels, PCI Radios , Summers Bros. Axles and Gunco Steel for the fab work and of course Evan Dieterich State Farm!!
After re mounting the seats as low as humanly possible I created a problem with leg extension room. So Gunco Steel and I are rebuilding the floorboards, firewall and dash to gain some clerance and clean it up a bit . We will also remove the current horns and get a siren , add additional rear view mirrors, light bar, clutch testing. Started tear down tonight and here's a few photos of our progress.
) looks like I will be able to make the series opener for AVE as well !!
