Hang loose racing in Holland also sells the car and parts.
There are some shops in Europe who support the Photon but there are not a lot and that should change

Unfortunately in Europe is not officially assisted.

only Italian Shop, (www.Framega.com) gives assistance to the races and import the brand.

Racing Art Company in germany is distributor aswell.
I´ve also heard rumors of other great german drivers want to switch to TOP, too.
Only TOP Japan must invest a little in europe and get some great drivers. Steven is competing as a privateer. I´ve heard TOP didn´t want him...

Well, actually his current car is from TOP directly anyway

I hope there is something to change in europe, too and TOP gets more popular there

Technically they should all be similar but your motor choice will dictate gearing more than speedo. 4.0-3.5 is a good starting point depending of how much timing you put in the endbell. Start with mild timing.

I don't know all of the results or all the drivers with a Photon, but I know Martin Crisp finished 3rd in 17.5 super stock TC and I think he might have come 4th in Mod.

Congrats Martin.

Congrats Martin.

Also Jim Peirsol, who is new to the team, finished 3rd in Stock Spec. This was his second outing with the car.
