ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The late Jim Latour of TEC built the turbo. While Dave Jones of 3R Racing was 
responsible for most of the modification and fabrication work, I'd also like 
to thank Jeremy, Darcy, and Sean for their expertise and help. Brendan Rudak 
of Apikol engineered the impossible emergency brake system for the rear Big 
Reds. Mike Pederson and Dave Dawson provided invaluable assistance and 
encouragement.
