four drivers used the turbo II pipe in the a main Cyrul, Hara, Tossolini, and one other but who escapes me.(might of been skidmore) Turbo II wins the nats two years in a row. Thanks again Atushi. Atushi was short on power but his incredible driving and his pitstops made up for it. The guy is just incredible.

The reason why Atushi had less power on Sunday than he did on Saturday is because a big head was used instead of a small head. Since it was a one hour race consistency was the main concern, not power. This change led to a cooler temperature. Insted of finishing at 240 he finished at 190. Hara's car also finished with very thin tires(53mm). It was fast in the in-field but in the straight away it did not have enough speed.

Richey, congratulations on you motors, They did very well at the Nationals. I am sure that you will go far with them.
