DeLong Performance Enterprises, LLC

Had the pleasure of meeting AJ Hartman from AJ Hartman Aero at Pittsburgh International Race Complex this past weekend. He specializes in carbon fiber aero components out of South Boston, VA.

Customer complained of overheating problems in his Dodge 330 with a 426 Max Wedge.
We went with a U.S. Radiator big block aluminum radiator to replace the stock 318 unit.
After trying an aftermarket fan shroud, it was decided that a custom shroud was needed. We started with a Summit Racing Equipment Adjustable Aluminum Fan Shroud Kit. After mockup in the car, we 3d modeled the shroud for fabrication. After welding and a quick coat of paint, everything fit up perfectly.
Car now runs cooler and is ready for the local car scene.

Happy birthday to team driver of the 96
Hanna Sauers.

Hanna Sauers@ parked it in victory lane tonight at Shaffer Speedway. Thanks to The Wheeler and Thaman Team, and Opferman Mechanical for all their support.

What an exciting weekend of racing.
We hooked up with Franklin Family Racing 3D 3K 17H in North Carolina to field a kart at Millbridge Speedway and Woodleaf Raceway Park with Drew at the helm. While we didn't get the outcome we wanted, it was a great experience for everyone involved. We learned a lot, met new friends, and had a great time.

Also stopped by and to meet everyone at the The Garage Shop.
What a great group of people...and talented. Check them out.

Finally, stopped by Hickory Motor Speedway to catch a Saturday night race.

Wegner Automotive thanks for the mention.
