Hi All -

Saker Motorsports will be debuting their new Subaru powered sports racer in the 2004 running of the 25 Hours of Thunderhill on December 4-5. Should be an interesting match as we see how the Saker does against a field that will include Radicals and a new Noble.

Saker has partnered up with i-clu.com, what we felt was the premier Subaru web forum for true enthusiasts. In addition to i-club.com, other sponsors include Mattel Hot Wheels, Easy Street Motorsports (ESX), Subaru of America, Irvine Subaru, StickerCity.com, Avon Tyres, B&M Racing, Moton shocks, Hyperco springs, Advanced Flow Engineering, South Bay BMW, and Casa Ramos Resturaunt. More information on the 25 Hour race can be found at:

The team of 6 drivers includes Speed World Challenge veterans Ralph Warren, Mickey Miller and Scott Lang and several of the team's drivers were in a class winning car at last year's 25 Hour.



The team has been getting the car ready and the 1700 lb. sports racers, which dyno'd at 380 hp at the wheels, is scheduled for more testing on Thanksgiving weekend at Phoenix International Raceway. More information on the car (specs) can be found at:

I kind of snuck it into the first post with an edit, but I'm very happy to announce our new prime sponsor on the car:

Mattel Hot Wheels!


Now I really can't wait to post pics once we get decals on the car.

 

That will actually be possible in '05.

 

Update :

The car will be on display at Irvine Subaru on the evening of Tues., Nov. 30th before heading up to Thunderhill.

 

Got some updated pics with decals - see first post

 

Team pic before the race. I'll write up a report thread soon - but believe me when I say that sexy beast is fast.
