Default Magnus Racing Porsche Goes to Rolex 24 at Daytona

I know this isnt drag related... but I figured you guys would like to see this anyway! The car being parked up near by Iv gotten to know John and have machined/welded/fabricated a couple pieces for the car and whatnot... They called me sunday and needed a piece milled real quick so I came by, did that... and snapped a couple more pics of the car as they loaded up... so in no particular order...

I noticed they just recently put their website up so you can check it out here! http://www.magnusracing.com/ They will be racing at the Rolex 24 This weekend at Daytona. It will be broadcast LIVE on SPEED. The race starts staurday at 3pm ending Sunday at 3pm. Check it out!




I made that stupid little bracket holding the ecu and datlogger together! lol Its the little stuff that counts... ya know...












Me and Bill machined hundreds of these wheel plugs!!!












a couple spindles I machined down...



Porsche Alignment fixtures I machined and made a "camber gauge holder" for it! lol

I imagine theyd carry more then one car?

I know in the Sprint car world we carry 3 to 4 cars and 4-5 motors if we hit the road.

and dear god those rigs are expensive. you could easily buy a decent little house for the price of one of those.
