Vehicle Story
One day I decided to stop at N&S Towing in West Allis,Wi.A good friend Danny Sancinati and family own it I decided to walk through the yard and ask what happened to that Firebird Formula? Driver mentioned a engine fire I spoke to Danny asap it took me six months to pry from him and another four to get the title so all it did was sit in my garage once I got the title I started disassembly I knew it would be a long term build after being asked to build for future Optima USCA events as funds are tight single income,mortgage and more the build is slow. Come 2014 @ Sema Optima Batteries press conference there is talk of a individual that goes above and beyond to help others and has contributed to helping at Sema year after year and asks for nothing more than a tshirt or backpack My name is mentioned for recognition as CamDouglass and Kyle Tucker are on stage make a mention of a Optima Ambassador build and how Detroit Speed will be building a big part of the car by installing what Big Blue his Camaro test car runs parts wise the car will be built with a purpose in mind ,Roadrace, Autocross,Promote Company contributions of product and more I am most grateful to Optima Batteries and Detroit Speed for putting this together and Contributing companies so far Ididit,Holley,Year One,C&R radiator,Lingenfelter,Centerforce ,Bowler Transmission and Painless Performance and JRI Shocks. Let's see who else will jump on board for Sema 2017 debut Thank you all!
