Update 3/7/11


The A.M. Performance team for the past couple of weeks has been in a crazed frenzy trying to complete the builds on time for their public revealing and Grand-AM's Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, Barber 200. Fighting against a crazy time schedule, numerous potential problems, and a seemingly endless to-do list, the team has shown their determination to complete the builds on time and are rapidly pushing toward their goals. They have made astounding progress on the cars and the litany of other necessary objectives that create a truly professional team. We have gotten some great media form them for this weeks update that includes an interview with Mike Sweeny, pictures from the past weeks, and an awesome video!

Everyone checking out the powder-coated chassis after unloading it. Thanks TNT Powdercoating in Cameron Park!





Chads old 350 motor going in the recently finished chassis on #4 for plumbing. Just a place holder until our next Grand Am motor is done.
