Larry
Schnur & Paul
LaHaye Race at World-Famous SPA in Belgium |
 On
April 30 and May 1, 2005, our own Team Radical West members
Larry Schnur and Paul LaHaye
traveled halfway across the globe to the legendary
Spa Francorchamps Ractrack
in Spa, Belgium to race with the Radicals in their
annual pilgrimage to this track.
Teams from Sweden, Finland, Germany and the USA
joined the UK regulars creating a massive fifty-five car grid for
the
two races run on Sunday. Racing against so many other Radicals must
have been an unforgettable experience for our Radical West Racing
teammates!

Established in
1921, Spa Francorchamps enjoys an ideal spot in the picturesque green
Ardennes forest, and the track stretched in a hilly landscape but
was
also made of numerous straight portions, particularly suitable to
achieve high speeds. With its location close to Spa, already famous
on
the international scale for its hydrotherapy, the racetrack has all
the
elements needed for fun, excitement and tourism.Paul LaHaye reported
from Belgium, ” Larry and I had a great weekend
at SPA! The Radical
Deutschland people were great and the
track
was just fantastic. We both did well in the races without incident
and
were lucky enough to race on a dry track with great weather and
had a fantastic time. Phil Abbott and Tim Greaves were very gracious
and helpful to both Larry and I.”
Larry
and Paul brought some nice west coast weather with them to Belgium…
on
race day the Ardennes forest basked in sunshine with the temperature
reaching 28 degrees Celsius (that’s 82 degrees Fahrenheit for those
of
us in the USA.)Read

Shop
Happenings
by James Vaughn, General Manager
|
|
 April
was a month of expansion for
Radical West Racing both in the shop as well as
transportation departments. The shop area at our headquarters in
Anaheim added 720 square feet of
mezzanine in the warehouse for parts and body storage, with vehicle
storage below. This gives us the much-needed ability to keep many
more
parts as well as tires in stock, as well as a covered area for the
cars
to be stored, to serve our valued clients better.
The Totter Transporter
|
|
In the transportation department we added a Totter transporter with
a
44ft Gold Rush trailer that Marc Brewster and his guys will be
transforming into a fully-functional mechanical shop. The trailer
is
currently set up with an engine hoist as well work benches and storage
spaces which will be put to good use. We were thrilled to acquire
this
trailer, which will become a rolling shop, traveling with Team
Radical West to each race. In the trailer we will
have
the ability to completely rebuild a car if necessary.
Each month we are going to offer a special deal on a new item or
service
upgrade. There are so many gadgets and upgrades available to make
the
Radicals faster, so we wanted to highlight one particular product
and
offer it to you as a special deal for the month.
May’s Hot Deal:
B9004 20K Tachometer
The 2 5/8″ Digital Tachometer has the ability to display RPM values
up
to 20,000 in 100 RPM increments. It also has the ability to drive
an
external alarm, shift indicator at the redline limit that you set.
The
Tachometer is designed with extra bright LED numbers as well as
a dimmer
setting for night racing.
List Price $200.00
Special: $150.00 (25% discount)
