| Radical SR3 and Radical West Racing Featured in Robb Report |
| We are pleased to announce that the Radical SR3 Supersport was featured in the December issue of Robb Report Magazine’s Collection Gift Guide. The article, entitled Pedal to the Medal, by Jan Morgan, was written with an account of his first-hand experience behind the wheel of a Radical SR3 at the race track. Jan reports, “Moving from a quick road car to the sports racing Radical is immensely rewarding….Its quality of construction is of a high order, and service is a simple affair. Designed for rigorous use in both sprint and endurance races, Radicals are known for their strength, reliability and safety.” |

| Learn to Drive a Radical TODAY at USRC’s Radical Racing School |
|
|
| U.S. Racing Club, Inc, a privately held California corporation, operates its Radical Racing School at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch. The two-day school, which operates Thursdays and Fridays of each month, along with selected weekend classes, features Radical Extreme Sports Cars. Imported from England, the two-seat, open cockpit, 1,100 pound Radical produces close to 200 hp, making it one of the most exciting pure racing cars available for students interested in racing schools in the U.S.
Kent Broussard, President of U.S. Racing Club, Inc, said, “The Radical Racing School will certainly prove to be the most exciting racing and driving school in the country for novices and professionals alike. Our classes are limited to small groups, enabling each student to receive substantial one-on-one instruction from our staff of professional instructors. He continued, “Future classes are already booking fast.”
Graduates of the Radical Racing School automatically qualify for U.S. Racing Club´s “Arrive-and-Drive” Program, which enables them to rent a Radical Sports Car on selected weekends and during private track events at numerous race tracks throughout the year.
Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, located approximately 45 minutes from the Las Vegas strip, hosts the Radical Racing School on its 2.2 mile, 11 turn, state-of-the-art racetrack. Under new ownership, Spring Mountain is currently breaking ground on increasing the length of the track to more than 4 miles and building luxury facilities, including a clubhouse and condominiums.
John Morris, founder of Radical West Racing and new owner of Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch commented, “The Radical School is a natural fit for Radical West and Spring Mountain. A very high percentage of people taking a ride in a Radical race car sign up for the Radical School and we anticipate a significant number of Radical School graduates to eventually purchase a Radical themselves. While sales of Radicals in the U.S. only began less than two years ago, demand has been strong and the number of Radical owners in the U.S. is becoming significant.”For additional information about the Radical Race School, please contact Kent Broussard directly at (714) 779-5700, or call Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch TOLL FREE at 800-391-6891. |

| What’s New at Radical West Racing “Shop Happenings” by James Vaughn, Jr. |
| |
|
Radical West Racing took possession of our new Progressive 5-car trailer in late November. We used the trailer for the first time at the Nov 19-21 track event with absolutely outstanding results. The trailer was designed by John Morris and Marc Brewster to allow us complete shop facilities, no matter what track we decide to visit. The trailer has a built in 110v Generator, with a 40 gal fuel tank, as well as an air compressor with fittings both inside and outside the trailer. The trailer has its own Heating and Air Conditioning system which will allow us to service vehicles in any condition. It can also serve as a lounge for our customers for events where the weather is not quite ideal.

| We are glad to welcome on board RaceTech Seats North America. RaceTech inc. is a major manufacturer of seats and driving apparel in New Zealand and Australia, and Radical West Racing is now the Southern California Dealer for their products. We are always looking to make the Radical driving experience better, so when we approached RaceTech about making seats for the Radicals, David Black, the owner of RaceTech was more than eager to help. |
 Roy Sciortino’s SR3 with Race Tec Seats
|
| The seats we chose for the Radicals have some great innovations. The seat is a True high back bucket seat with head restraint system, contoured shoulder “wings” to keep you centered in the seat. Adjustable or removable cushions from mid back to lower thigh are available in 9 different color combinations. As of December 1, Roy Sciortino has the first “Radical RaceTech” seats installed in his car, with both John Morris and Mark Futtermans´ Radicals currently in fabrication. |
| PRO SHIFTEarly in November we received our newest piece of technology upgrade for the Radical and promptly installed it on John Morris´s green 1500 Radical for testing. Over the weekend of Nov 19-21 John had a chance to try out the new shifter and was extremely pleased with the results. After a full day of testing John felt the buttons on the steering wheel were a definite advantage over manual shifting, and with a minimal amount of practice he felt that any driver wanting to have an edge would benefit from having the Proshift installed in their Radical.
Proshift is a versatile semi automatic gearshift system, which operates at the push of a button, enabling the driver to make smooth seamless up shifts at any throttle position, and precise downshifts, whlile retaining the ability to revert back to manual gear shifts at any time.
NAAKE Motorsports
The test team at Radical West Racing is looking into Suspension technology upgrades for our customers and we would like to welcome Naake Motorsports to the family. Mike Naake and his team outfitted us with a set of custom shocks for the Radicals. During our first testing session in Late November at Pahrump, John reported the shocks adapt well to driver input, as well as set up changes. We will be testing again in early December to fine tune the shocks and then Radical West Racing will be offering them for sale to our customers.
