Hard work pays off!

So as most of you know I've been killing myself to get my car ready for the race last weekend ( Ultimate Street Car Association/ Optima Batteries Qualifier @ Auto Club Speedway in Fontana)

 

Long story short the hard work payed in full. The car was extremely competitive the whole weekend winning most events in all classes, let alone the gt2k (under 3k lbs class) The wider track, better tires and overall look of the car took it home. I beat the living hell out of it like always and it took it in strides. Couldn't be happier with her. Finally I got my ticket back to SEMA for another shot at the title of the Ultimate Street Car. Took first in all events except for the auto x by .3 secs to a nascar framed pickup (No Limit Racing C10) MONSTER haha

 

There are 6 qualifier events left throughout the country, I GUARANTY you will have the most fun you've ever had in your car. Visit www.ultimatestreetcarassociation.com for the list. SIGN UP!

 

On to pics. Video soon, got some editing to do. Thank you to all who have posted in the "going wider" thread, you guys really keep me motivated to continue pushing. I received TONS of coverage, TV, websites and prolly a few magazines in the process. The value of our cars is on the rise!

Way to go man!!! Its so cool to see you push the limits with our cars. I love how your car has been re-engineered in just about every way possible, but it is still 100% recognizable as a starquest. Great work John.

John, I really admire your dedication. One of these days when I am a bit more settled and have my own garage I will have to gut a quest and start re-engineering. The one thing I like most about you is that despite all the attention and admiration, you are still humble. I can't wait to see whats next in store.

I'm not surprised in the least. Congrats dude. Quality and passion will pay off every time. Be very proud of your accomplishments, as you are out there punishing cars that were built by teams with enormous budgets. Walk tall my friend, for you have earned it by your own sweat and ingenuity.
