One lap record and One win.

Congratulations to John Hill for bringing home the first win for the Phoenix F1K.0 at Portland International Raceway.

It was a bit of a last minute decision to put John into the car, but as it turns out it was a good one, as he brought home our first win. John was able to drive in the low 1:12 lap after lap.

At this point it is almost cliche, but the tires were old. We ran this whole weekend on rubber that was left over from Thunder Hill. By the time John got into the car the tires had 6 sessions on them, yet he was still able to rail off consistent fast laps. With this car we will be able to get the most out of the of the tires. The car is not going to kill tires in just a few laps like some cars can do. I designed the cars suspension around tire data so it has lots of grip, good feel, and excellent tire life.

All in all it was a good second outing for the Phoenix F1K.09. We lowered the track record to 1:11.51 in the national race with Mark driving the car and picked up our first win with John driving the car.

Mark was really pleased with the car's handling, and thinks that we could have gotten down into the 1:10's if he had not had race traffic to contend with.

A big thanks to Mark for his patience while we sorted the bugs out.

Thanks to everybody on the Phoenix Race Works team. Watch out Washington, here we come!

New 2009 F1000 Car Announced

Phoenix Race Works, LLC officially announces their new F1000 car for 2009. Dubbed the F1K.09, the new offering is a complete re-design of the company’s inaugural offering to the SCCA’s newest, and most exciting, formula racing class (FB) and will also be the platform for all future offerings from the Phoenix, AZ based race car manufacturer.

As was the case with the 2007 car, the F1K.09 car is 100% designed utilizing SolidWorks CAD software and the car and components have been subjected to numerous structural and aerodynamic analysis by designer, and engineer, Dustin Wright. “This car is built upon the success of the F1K.07, but is also built to improve on that design where we felt we could. For example, the new car has a 12% reduction in frontal area, while at the same time enlarging the cockpit area for larger drivers” says Wright.

Phoenix Race Works, LLC was the first race car manufacturer in the U. S. market to commit to building a car specifically for the F1000 market, and this new offering further demonstrates the company’s desire to be the leading supplier of cars and parts to the F1000 market. “We are fully committed to the SCCA Formula 1000 class and we will always strive to produce the best products we can for our customers” said Matt Conrad, General Manager.

Pricing for the new cars has been set at $39,995 as a “roller” and turn-key cars with a George Dean prepped GSX-R1000 engine and AIM dash package start at around $53,000. Many different options and upgrades are available and detailed information on the car specifications are available on the company’s website at www.phoenixracecars.com.
