Got a new one for the list! I had the privilege and honor of being asked to build Johnny Gilbert, Owner of Stainless Diesel a duramax powered railcar for his daughter to race in 5.90! We finally got this project wrapped up and got her feet wet this weekend and did her licensing passes while shaking the car down. Made 10 passes with it and the best was a [email protected] lifting early and best mph was 114.64mph. Her name is Brianna Gilbert and the railcar weighs 2050lbs with her in it. It is lbz powerglide and I tune it. If you are coming to UCC you will get to see it in person! Without even trying it has made the quickest vgt turbo pass ever and is fuel only with single cp3! Very proud to say that we here at MTKB Racing built this car from scratch and it works great and is a very cost effective way to race without a huge price tag and very little maintenance. Only used a gallon and a half of fuel in 10 laps and it drives to the lanes and back to its own pit stall.8a4bc6a1b9769f7a4598eb0015086254.jpegIMG_7368.jpegIMG_7367.jpeg

awesome build. you should think about selling these as a kit. people will supply their own engine and transmission. you provide the chassis and other custom bits

Well, Briana had a hell of a first race weekend with the new car at UCC double entering it in 5.90 and Top Diesel! She managed to finish 2nd in top diesel and went a couple of rounds in 5.90. During eliminations of Top Diesel we gave her some fuel and she not only set the quickest single vgt pass of all time but bettered her previous pb and it is now a [email protected]! Car did amazing and she is a very quick learner and is a stone cold killer on the tree! We will continue to push this thing as she definitely loves to drive it. Thanks guys!62358f9ffcdabed180b59152c2dfc174.jpeg
