Default Feel this is worthy of a big Kudos!

The number 18 car of Ian Baas was on the other side of the country less then two weeks ago when this happen. Not Ians fault(drivers faults to remain nameless)..he had been quick all weekend and was most likely headed for a podium before this occured. Car had some pretty severe front and rear impact damage. The rig pulled into STaSIS last Tuesday and the #18 Chassis came back from the body shop THIS Monday. The car was at Laguna Seca this morning and will be on track for unofficial practice tomorrow. The team is an incredible group of dedicated guys.....very impressed, to say the least.


Good Luck this weekend!!

Default Great Job by the STaSIS team, Good Luck and an incident free race!

Ian will recover from that quickly, met him at VIR when he showed up with Randy. Great driver and a good sport, he'll surely have a great career in Motorsports and it's always entertaining to watch him on track.
