Round 5 United States Touring Car Championship is held at Thunderhill Raceway. Weather for the weekend is sunny with temperature in the 97 degree Fahrenheit range. The track had recently undergone a major improvement. This however, create a controversial berms that seem to fit for the street rather than on race track. No doubt this will cause problems for some. The good news is everyone have to deal with the same problem.

We’re back with the Speed Element EVO!  It has been a while since the car sees the track.  In fact we can count it over a year since the last time at Buttonwillow, the car only made one lap before it encounter problem.  This time the Speed Element team is more prepared as we are a young team and learn more every time we go to the track.  Everyone on the team is excited with the potential and we just want to go and finish an event.

We’ve decided to join USTCC for the remainder of the season.  The change is due to more liberties in rules and will allow us to align the car closer to World Challenge for our future plan.  Unfortunately, because the season is already underway, we are at a big disadvantage for the championship points.

The competition is back in full force.  We are back at Thunderhill raceway, however, we are running the opposite direction thus a totally different track.  Even though Mike Lock is the point leader, Graham Downey is the favorite to win with Prima Racing last year car.  We are hoping we get closer to the front.
