Building the VRT Rumble Bee...
Just wanted to give you folks a heads up on our
VRT TIME ATTACK CAR we nick named RUMBLE BEE...
History
1. First owned by Vison619 and Stillen Supercharged, then turboed
2. We acquired it after Vision and his wife split, she kept the car and now it is a VRT Shop Car.
3. Mods JWT 700 turbos ON A STOCK MOTOR
Goals are to Win TIME ATTACKS....and Test our products, builds, and systems
4. To Date we have only placed 2 and 3rd in the Button Willow and Cal-speedway Time Attacks.
5. Competition Drivers feature TANNER FOUST, Billy Johnson, and Aaron Bitterman of Speedventures.com
6. I wrecked the car at the Super-Street Time Attack Finals before Tanner Could race it...We fixed it pict and all...LOL
7. Went to Redline Time Attack at Button Willow and won 2nd place in UNLIMITED Class RWD and 3rd place in Modified Class RWD
- If you do not know what Time Attacks Are:
www.RedlineTimeattack.com
Classes
Unlimited / Race-cars and anything goes usually Hoosier like tires (50 tread-wear and below) crazy bada$$ cars and PRO drivers
Modified / Streetcars, need glass in car and dashboards using Nitto NTO1 and Toyo like tires 50-140 tread-wear) Semi and Pro drivers
Street/ Streetcars with interior/ Tires with 140 and above tread-wear - Amateur drivers ONLY
8. Went to recent Cal-speedway Redline and placed 2nd in Street Class RWD (good Job Mike B for the Street Class win...)and 3rd in Modified Class RWD with Tanner Foust driving again. The unlimited class was cut short because of track got closed due to Chris Rado's blown motor. Tanner's Time in the Modified Class of 2:12 were fast enough to WIN third yet oh well. **** happens.
10. We modified the JWT 700 kit with a custom front core support and custom intake and inter-cooler piping.
11. Built complete cage for the Upcoming Silver State Classic race.
12. Competing in all 2007 Redline Time Attacks.
13. Currently increase current 500 WHP detuned for Time Attack to 750 WHP with even larger turbos custom modified with JWTs help...More on this.
Hope you enjoy the picts.
Watch this Video...Pretty Cool. THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED with Bumble Bee...
