Jeff Lawton's #34 ITA Saturn on the Dynapack.

Originally built by James Walker, a GM engineer, and now prepped and track tuned by Matt Kessler, the Saturn just gets faster and faster. Using a Race Technology DL1 data acquisition (FastTech Limited), to quantify gains, Matt spent two seasons tweaking the suspension by revising spring rates, sway bars and shock valving, while Jeff refined his driving style. This effort has proven successful with Jeff finishing second in NARRC Championship points and a respectable finish record. Now Matt is working on extracting a little more power for the coming season. Should be a good one!

"I had been struggling to get my new car dialed in for half the season without much success. Matt worked with me during a test day and I was able to lower my fastest time at the track by a full second! He was more help per dollar than any go-fast part." - Jeff Lawton, SCCA Improved Touring A driver.

Don Duman with his son and radio spotter, Paul, after handily winning the 2008 NARRC Runoffs at Lime Rock Park.

Don qualified pole and led flag to flag under constantly changing track conditions. The #52 SM has a Kessler engine, transmission and suspension setup. Plans are to get "The Dumanator" to the SCCA National Runoffs at Road America this year.

Thanks Paul and Don!

Even if you don't know Crazy Joe, you've probably been hit by him on the track! Here is his ITA Sentra SE-R after winning the season opener at NHMS.

Joe went on to win the NARRC and NYSRRC Championships. Matt helped Joe with his new chassis build, installing the super stiff cage. Matt has dyno tuned Joe's SR20 engine built by B&B Performance, Randolf, New Jersey. Joe has also benefitted greatly from trickle down B13 technology from the Greg Amy and Matt Kessler developed Red Rocket.
