That there is the SRT teams entry in the 2005 Tire Rack One Lap of America race. 2003 was an SRT-4, 2004 was an SRT-10 Ram. (damnit, image isn't showing )

That is a great page to track the event from. The photo gallery is where that shot came from

That is the SRTfroums page that will show updates by Ebbtide, who in his day job is Todd Eberline, a DCX employee, who is along with the Lake Effect Racing team as a kinda rolling publicist.

And lastly, the offical web page of One Lap.

Quoted from Ebbs comments

"Notice the huge fender flairs? They're hiding 295 Pilot Sports So far, the upgrades they've admitted to, aside from the phat meats, are an intake and removal of the cats."

As far as color, I imagine any damn color they please, they are, after all, SRT, the guys who made the car

That has to be the silver steel.

 

[Steve Desjardins]

that is not silver steel

 

[glhs837]

I'll ask ebb, see what it is

 

[rt4]

If you compare that to the pic of silver steel on chrysler.com..... it's pretty similar. I'm saying that's the silver steel.

SWEET!!!! The first stop is about 3 miles from my home. I'll try to get more info on that SRT-8 out there tomorrow as long as its not pouring rain.

 

[Northern Rider]

A track prepped 300C SRT-8.

Yum, yum. Lookin' tasty.

Makin' my right foot twitchy.

 

[JMatt]

Does anyone remember the quote from Csaba Csere of Car and Driver a couple months ago where they had tested a "Chrysler Sedan" at 172mph? Ummm . . . any guesses on this car's top speed?

 

[rt4]

Jmatt.....we're expecting pictures, especially of the fender flares and engine!

[EDIT] It's painted Steel Blue[/EDIT]..., 20"x10" custom BBS wheels (don't try this at home, kids, we're professionals.), custom fabbed fender flares, roll cage, stiffer suspension, race driver seat, gutted rear seat, and more HP than stock ....

Just goes to show how dedicated the SRT guys are at developing cars/trucks for the hard core enthusiast... How many of you 300C or SRT-8 owners are going to track prep your baby ???

The LER site will be updated every day with photos and video from the events. Today is dry skidpad, I believe. Keep in mind, LER is sponsored by a few A/V companies, datacam and at least one other.

Note the videos, both of which are SRT-8. Expect better coverage of that car than even from Car and Driver. since Dale and Ebb are both close to Eric and the SRT guys.

Wet Skidpad... Don't want to tear up those $$$ tires on the first day with a week of racing ahead of them..

Dry skidpad is after the track events in a week.

Thanks, what As the week goes on, and the SRT team does what I expect them to, I'm sure there will be lots more questions, a lot of which I might not have answers for

Great information, now for the questions for Erich.
1. Where can I get the 40mm fiberglass fender flairs?
2. WHAT does "...w /cleaned up heads and intake manifold." mean exactly?
3. What exactly was done to "clean them up"?
4. Where can I get the 40mm fender flairs?
5. Did I mention the fender flairs?
6. Oh, ya, where can I get the fender flairs?
