Christmas was just a few days ago and for some reason Santa missed the Krider Racing headquarters (rumor has it, they’re on the naughty list). However, most Speed Sport Life readers consider the real Santa Claus to come in the form of the FedEx man. And that was just who showed up in the nick of time with a box full of racing goodies for our preparations for the upcoming ChumpCar World Series race at Infineon January 9-10, 2010.
We scored a cool fabricated safety cage for our nitrogen tank to run our air tools from Capital City Motorsports, a pair of FIA rated Piloti driving shoes (great for heel toe downshifts), some Carbotech brake pads (for going super deep into the corners), some “FUEL” stickers for our pit crew to go on expired helmets (per ChumpCar rules) from Figstone Graphics and last, but not least, new nomex socks from I/O Port Racing Supplies.
So, what did you get under the “racing” tree this year?
Let's see:
New ECU tuner from Cobb, the Accessport
60mm exhaust
new break fluid
redline trans fluid
Unfortunately before I go back to the track I need:
New pads/rotors
new track tires/wheels
…and a weekend to prep the car.
