Toronto, ON - for
immediate release
Joe DaSilva come off the 2002 season glad to be back racing.
Sure he had won twice in 2002 but he was not content with the
performance of his Wolfe Racecraft built Mustang. Rule changes
that came along as Dave Wolfe constructed the Reider Racing
Enterprises Mustang actually made the car obsolete before it
hit the track. The intrepid trio of DaSilva, Wolfe and Job
Spetter Jr soldiered on for the remainder of 2002 and came
away with some impressive performances but not impressive
enough for DaSilva. Over the winter Wolfe stretched the front
end to the legal maximum wheelbase and plumbed in two nasty
T-76 turbos from Turbonetics among other things. DaSilva also
made another major change by enlisting Keith Craft Racing
Engines to assemble a powerplant that is matched to the twin
turbo setup. To harness all that power DaSilva has returned to
Liberty's Gears and their new Equalizer transmission in place
of the previously used Lenco.
The Reider Racing Mustang also sports a new look with a flame
job on the newly extended nose and a totally flat hood. The
new turbo plumbing from Wolfe Racecraft allowed the team to do
away with the previously used cowl hood and look for gains in
aerodynamics. One thing is for sure, DaSilva's Mustang will
turn heads wherever it goes.
With all these changes DaSilva, Wolfe and Spetter know they
will have some new car blues. To minimize the effect it has on
their racing program the team is going to test at an
undisclosed venue shortly. A full report on the test session
will be forthcoming. The team is planning to attend the
remaining Fun Ford Weekend events along with selected NMCA Pro
Outlaw races. DaSilva is also scheduling some NHRA events and
taking a shot at the BB/AT national records.
The DaSilva team would like to welcome the following people
who have come on board in 2003, we appreciate your help.
