Land of Sisu

Motorsports in Finland

By Linda Spencer

Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Denmark are collectively known as the Nordic region, and its population of approximately 27 million citizens is passionate about all forms of wheeled competition, including rally racing, drag racing, drifting and circuit racing.

A high standard of living provides the locals with ample disposable income, and the positive perception of U.S. racing products provides an excellent export opportunity for U.S. motorsports product suppliers. In addition, the strong English-language skills among the average citizen make it one of the easiest export markets in which to do business.

This first article of a series on motorsports in the Nordic region focuses on Finland. With a population of 5.5 million, Finland is considered the northern gate between the east and west and is home to a disproportionate number motorsports world champions who enjoy strong support from the local enthusiastic fan base.

What makes this country (bordered by Russia, Sweden, the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia) a motorsports standout may be the Finnish people. The Finnish term “sisu” literally means “guts” or “intestines,” but it is used to refer to strength of will, determination, perseverance and acting rationally in the face of adversity. It is also often used to explain Finland’s achievements in sports and physical endurance.

Below are some of the other factors (combined with sisu) that might lead to Finland’s outsized motorsports successes, as well as highlights of some of the nation’s motorsports achievements.

• The extensive network of private gravel roads (primarily developed for forestry) provides young people with a first-rate, free and plentiful training ground and challenging terrain that forces mastering control of vehicles. Cars typically slide more easily on gravel than on asphalt, not to mention the bumpiness of the courses. In fact, teenagers often are able to begin driving on these quiet private roads before obtaining their licenses, and the gravel roadways total about 280,000 km (174,000 mi.). Though they exist on a grander scale, they may not be very different in concept from the American rural dirt tracks that provide grassroots training for NASCAR and even drag racing.
• The long, cold winters help to create excellent drivers who are forced to learn vehicle control on ice-packed roads.
• Rally racing is enormously popular in Finland, with the Neste Rally annually attracting hundreds of thousands of spectators. The race is famous for its hard-packed gravel jumps and blind crests, creating one of the fastest and most thrilling races in rallying. In fact, Finland has the second highest number of world rally champions on the globe, trailing only France.
• Racing exists for everyone from amateurs to professionals. Besides karting, which provides organized racing for beginners, one of the most popular and fun events is folk racing, which takes place nearly every weekend all over the country. These grassroots events invite drivers from age 14 and up to participate in inexpensive second-hand cars. Attracting drivers of all ages and levels of experience, the rules limit the amount that may be spent on the competition cars. To keep everyone honest, there is a special rule that any participant can make a bid on any competitor’s car after a race. The owner of the vehicle is required to sell the car, serving as a deterrent to spending any more than the allowed amount on the car (typically under $2,000 USD). The spirit of camaraderie is a special feature of these events, with drivers willing to help each other, especially youngsters driving in their first folk races.
• Nine Finns have also made their marks in Formula 1, with four world championships and 50 Grand Prix wins among them. Most recently, Finland’s Valtteri Bottas won the 2020 Russian Grand Prix for Mercedes at Sochi. He followed other racers that included Keke Rosberg, who won in 1982, and Mika Häkkinen, who won the 1998 title and successfully defended it the following year. The versatile Kimi Räikkönen, nicknamed “The Iceman,” also saw success in the world rally championship and concurrently competed in NASCAR, driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports in the Camping World Truck Series. AKK Motorsport, the Finnish motorsport’s national governing body, recently launched a study into the possibility of Finland hosting a Grand Prix for the first time. While most rally racers cut their teeth on gravel roads, F1 racers typically start out in the country’s well-developed kart racing organizations.
• Finland also boasts key wins in the European drag-racing season, which runs from May to September. Finland’s Anita Mäkelä is the reigning FIA European Drag Racing champion in the Top Fuel category (winning in 2000, 2016, 2018 and 2019). In 2019, she was inducted into the British Drag Racing Hall of Fame. In 2021, Finland’s Kauhava dragstrip (located about 250 mi. northwest of Helsinki) was added as round three in the 2021 six-round European Drag Racing Championship, hosting two of the series classes: Top Fuel and Top Modified.

Next month in our continuing series, we will cover the European Drag Racing Series in more depth.

2020 Battle of the Builders

12 Finalists, One Overall Winner at SEMA’s Annual Celebration of the Builder’s Art

Since its inception in 2014, the SEMA Show’s annual Battle of the Builders (BOTB) has become one of the most anticipated events of SEMA Show week. While the cancellation of the 2020 Show in Las Vegas seemed to put the event on hold for a year, there was still plenty of industry interest in holding a BOTB-type event, even if done remotely.

Enter the SEMA360 Builder Showcase, an online exhibit created last November to provide a forum for builders and customizers to display their latest works during the week of SEMA’s first-ever virtual trade show. Despite being set up on short notice, the showcase attracted more than 300 entries from around the world. From those, SEMA staff and a panel of industry experts narrowed the field to a list of Top 40 vehicles that would be invited to participate in an online version of BOTB.

After careful review, those 40 were winnowed down to 12 finalists in four categories (Hot Rod, Truck/Off-Road, Sport Compact and Young Guns). The finalists’ vehicles were transported to a location in Los Angeles during SEMA360 week for “peer review” (the builders also act as judges at BOTB, evaluating each others’ work), with an overall winner being announced on the last day of the Show.

The competition was featured in a nationwide BOTB TV special that premiered on A+E Networks’ FYI and HISTORY’s DRIVE Block on February 7 at 9:00 a.m. EST. For the latest broadcast information, visit www.sema.org/botb.

What follows is a review of the one-of-a-kind creations that made the journey to Southern California for the event.

CAPTION: Competing at the 2020 Battle of the Builders were (from left) Cody Medeisis, Todd Budde, Kyle Kuhnhausen, Randy Borcherding, Austin Phipps, Chip Foose, Andy Leach, Brad DeBerti, Josh Croll, Eli DeWitt, Brady Ranweiler and Mark Giambalvo.

Builder: Randy Borcherding

Paint House, Cypress, Texas
Vehicle: ’71 Ford Ranchero
Category: Truck/Off-Road

“Our building style is the Pro Touring look, with modern electronics, modern engines, modern brakes and an aggressive stance, yet the classic musclecar/hot-rod shape is still left intact,” Randy Borcherding explained.

The Truck category winner at 2019 BOTB, Borcherding came to SEMA360 with this eye-catching Ranchero. It’s not a common vehicle, he admitted, but it stands out in any crowd. The first thing you notice is the flawless application of custom-mixed Dark Maroondy Pearl two-stage PPG base coat/clear coat that adorns the bodywork. It’s complemented by a matte charcoal-gray strip across the hood that incorporates a factory scoop.

The Torino GT-style front end includes a custom billet grille that hides the headlights, and the front bumper has been meticulously shortened, narrowed and tucked. Rear bodywork includes custom bed moldings that were formed out of high-end resin, with chromed inserts all hand-fabricated from chrome-plated brass. Also in the rear are a narrowed and tucked rear bumper, a fold-down rear tailgate, a power tonneau cover, and custom acrylic taillight lenses over LED light strips.

“We wanted to make it cleaner and a little tighter without ruining the factory look,” Borcherding said.

Beneath the hood is a throwback engine—a balanced and blueprinted 351 Cleveland V8 that was bored to displace 408 ci. While it’s the same engine that would’ve come in the truck originally, Borcherding noted, it’s been upgraded with fuel injection and also sports a custom dual air intake and a performance cam.

The filters have been mounted under the fenders to reduce clutter in the engine bay and optimize air flow. The stock Ranchero suspension was replaced with a Mustang II coil-over front setup and four-link in the rear. The Ranchero rolls on Schott Accelerator concave wheels and Michelin tires, and Wilwood disc brakes reside at all four corners.

Inside, an all-custom Stitch By Stitch gray leather interior features custom seats and a fitted headliner, and it’s accented with handmade brass moldings that combine a classic look with a luxurious contemporary feel. Also inside the cab are a narrowed ’71 Mustang dash, a full set of Dakota Digital gauges, a Lokar shifter, a hidden Alpine audio system, and GT 40-style switch gear.

Builder: Andy Leach

Cal Automotive Creations, Bennington, Nebraska
Vehicle: ’71 Plymouth Barracuda
Category: Hot Rod

“I never went to school for any of this—just trial and error, with lots of error,” Andy Leach admitted of his building background. But only 10 years after forming his own customization company, he’s now building some of the baddest cars on the planet, of which this frame-up ’71 Barracuda is a shining example.

Powering the third-generation pony car is a 707hp Hellcat crate engine tied to a Bowler T56 six-speed transmission. The Hellcat is a huge engine, so the engine bay abounds in custom bodywork that was undertaken to accommodate it.

The hood was extensively modified, and all underhood bracing was made from scratch to clear the supercharger. The front wheel arches, bumper and valance were meticulously resculpted to tighten gaps and provide smoother styling lines. The front coil-over suspension was built from scratch to compensate for changes in geometry and front/rear weight distribution, and a custom coil-over/four-link setup locates a Dana rearend in back. All of those changes were made with one thing in mind, Leach said: “Functionality. That’s what we do.”

The Plymouth rolls on 18x8 and 20x10 one-off Evod wheels that provide a timeless look, and they’re complemented by a set of Baer brakes. The Plymouth’s rear wheel openings were reshaped to clear extra-wide 295/20R tires, and the rear end, as with the front, was largely cobbled from scratch, with an all-custom rear bumper and valance and machined exhaust tips. The stock grille was completely modified; the taillights were reworked for improved fitment; and the rockers were dropped to mimic the factory look.

“We really wanted to keep the interior ’71 ’Cuda,” Leach said. The noticeable addition of a color-coordinated rollcage blends nicely with the machine-trimmed dash, door panels and custom Glide-frame seats, and all of the window trim was reshaped. The door tops and handles have all been machined, and the custom center console evokes the look of a vintage ’70s musclecar while being a one-off design.

Builder: Todd Budde

FabFitters, La Vernia, Texas
Vehicle: ’93 Mazda RX-7 FDS3
Category: Sport Compact

The son of a Super Modified racer, Todd Budde was exposed to exotic, high-performance rides from childhood.

“My father was always interested in unique builds,” he said, and that interest in time led the son to this unique all-wheel-drive RX-7 that, in Budde’s estimation, took some 7,000 man-hours to turn into the creation you see here. (“It started its life as a totaled car, and I’m a one-man shop,” he explained.)

Starting under the hood, the original powerplant was swapped out in favor of a high-performance billet 26B four-rotor engine manufactured by Billet Pro in Australia. Twin Garrett G42-1200 turbos provide aspiration and boost, and the 6-in. exhaust, engine piping and intercooler were all hand built. The entire exhaust system was removed and sent to PTP Turbo Blankets for 3-D scanning. When completed, the exhaust came back with a custom set of blankets installed to keep heat output to a minimum.

Backing the engine is a Corvette C5-style torque-tube transmission that engages a Lamborghini Gallardo transaxle, which was relocated to the back of the car. Custom front and rear subframes accommodate Corvette C7 control arms, uprights and a DSC adaptive-shock system. Electronic power steering comes courtesy of a Toyota Yaris, and the 19-in. Vossen wheels are stopped by a set of Wilwood disc brakes.

Front and rear hand-formed bodywork incorporates multiple OE design cues while aspiring to resemble an all-steel wide-body kit. Immediately noticeable is the front end from a ’70s Series 1 RX-3, and the grille was updated and modernized with LED projector headlights. The fenders and side panels use elements of RX-7, RX-3, BMW M3 and Volkswagen Beetle sheetmetal. In the rear, Evo-R taillights feature the same sequential turn-signal pattern as a Lamborghini.

Carbon-fiber trim abounds inside and out, adorning the mirrors, side skirts and interior panels to give the Mazda a JDM theme. A gated shifter sourced from an Audi R8 delivers gear changes, and a digital dash from AEM houses a complement of gauges.

Builder: Eli DeWitt

Solon, Iowa
Vehicle: ’67 Pontiac Le Mans
Category: Young Guns

According to Eli DeWitt, this build originated in 2010 when he went searching for a lost cat in his neighborhood. During the search, he came upon a ’67 Le Mans that was parked in a neighbor’s garage, apparently unused for some 10 years. The car appeared to be in decent shape overall but needed a lot of “rust work.” Upon purchasing the ride, DeWitt embarked upon a 1,000-hour frame-off restoration.

After the bodywork was cleaned up with the bumpers shaved, the gaps tightened, and a coat of Axalta Mosaic Victory Red applied, more than 100 hours were spent on wet sanding and buffing to achieve the desired finish. The remaining chrome and stainless-steel pieces were stripped and refinished in PDC Chrysler pewter grey pearl to match the finish on the U.S. Mag Rambler wheels.

Overall, the bodywork was in good shape for a garage find. Only sections of the front flooring and lower rear quarter-panels were in need of replacing, and the GTO-style hood is the only aftermarket body piece.

Under the hood, a 400 V8 sourced from a ’74 Bonneville was bored to displace 408 ci. The engine received a total makeover, with only the block and crank remaining of the original pieces. Further power upgrades came in the form of a Quick Fuel Technology 650-cfm Black Diamond carburetor, an upgraded cam and a custom-bent exhaust. A Frostbite Radiator keeps everything running cool, and a local shop custom-bent the one-off exhaust system, which also includes Quick Time Performance electric exhaust cutouts.

The engine is backed by a four-speed manual transmission, and the car rolls on a suspension that’s lowered 2 in. in front with Speedway drop swindles and 11/4 in. in back with drop springs. A QA1 dual adjustable coil-over front suspension with SSBC disc brakes locates the frontend, and Nitto NT555 ultra-high-performance tires provide on-road grip.

Inside the Pontiac, everything is as it appeared on the showroom floor in 1967, save the headliner and carpeting.

“It was in such good shape, I wanted to keep it that way,” DeWitt explained.

Builder: Brad DeBerti

DeBerti Products, Mooresville, North Carolina
Vehicle: ’20 Toyota Tacoma
Category: Truck/Off-Road

Built to combine the design of an Indy Car and the design of hot rod into one vehicle, this Tacoma was completely built from the ground up in only 90 days, Brad DeBerti said. At this point, the doors and roof are the sole remaining OE components.

Built for all kinds of racing, the truck rides on a custom tube chassis sourced from Tekk Consulting and features bodywork from Advanced Fiberglass Concepts, including the fenders, roof scoop, rear diffuser, front splitter and side skirts that were all machined out of high-density foam. The fuel cell and radiator were moved rearward in the truck to better enable 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution, and TRD provided technical assistance to improve aerodynamics.

Under the hood is a race-winning TRD NASCAR Cup-series naturally aspirated truck engine displacing 420 ci and generating 900 hp. A set of handmade Gibson headers feeds into a TRD-designed tri-Y exhaust.

The engine is backed by a six-speed sequential transmission that sends power to the rear via a QA1 carbon-fiber driveshaft to a QA1-damped RTS Winters quick-change rearend that’s rated to stand up to 2,000 hp. The center-lock (single-lug) Forgeline wheels are enveloped by BFGoodrich tires and halted by Alcon brakes. The truck is additionally equipped with nitrogen-actuated air jacks that can lift the entire vehicle 5 in. Up front, a 74-degree custom steering angle enables extreme drifting maneuvers when working in tandem with the DeBerti-designed in-cab hand brake.

As with most vehicles built exclusively for racing, the Toyota’s interior is relatively simple and unadorned, though carbon fiber is used extensively for greater weight reduction. A custom-machined aluminum dash houses a host of AEM electronics and a Switch Pros power panel along with a Safecraft fire extinguisher. A trio of Sparco racing seats and harnesses (yes, the truck’s a three-seater) keep the driver and passengers secure in the cab.

Builder: Kyle Kuhnhausen

Kuhnhausen Metal Concepts, Creswell, Oregon
Vehicle: ’64 Chevrolet Corvette
Category: Hot Rod

“It’s not too flashy, so you can appreciate the craftsmanship and the traditional needs on a hot rod,” Kyle Kuhnhausen said of his C2 Corvette. “But at the same time, it will draw you in and, hopefully, drop your jaw to the floor.”

“Ballistic Beige” certainly retains much of the original interior and exterior aesthetics (it still retains the OE side pipes), but pop the hood and this ’Vette is transformed into the modern age—specifically via an Art Morrison Builder Series chassis that cradles a GM Performance LT4 equipped with builder-machined ARP bolts and offering 650 hp and 650 lb.-ft.

Keeping the engine cool is a C7-inspired, horizontally mounted C&R cooling package incorporating a custom supercharger heat exchanger and radiator that are topped with a custom shroud with a titanium exhaust pipe and dual 11-in. brushless SPAL fans. Many components were relocated to optimize front-/rear-weight distribution or to create a clutter-free engine bay. The oil cooler was relocated to the rear to free up space underhood, and the supercharger assembly also houses a power-steering reservoir.

The engine is mated to a 4L75E transmission that’s cooled by a modified 10-row oil-to-water cooling unit that’s mounted behind the radiator. The gearbox transfers power to a Strange S60 IRS differential using a QA1 carbon-fiber driveshaft. JRI double-adjustable coil-overs augment the suspension, and a set of 14-in. Wilwood brakes halt the 295/19 front and 345/19 rear Michelin tires that ride on Forgeline LS3 three-piece rims.

The inside retains much of its original look. The Sparco steering wheel uses the stock horn button, but Kuhnhausen said that the interior also contains lots of cool James Bond bits. A complement of Dakota Digital HDX gauges now monitor underhood functions; a Lokar shifter engages the 4L75; and a Sparco steering wheel gets a power assist courtesy of a Woodward Race Rack.

Outside, subtle touches abound. The front bumpers were sectioned 1 in. over stock and tucked in 11/2 in. on the sides, helping to enhance air flow to the radiator. Prismatic Powders provided powdercoating, and Axalta paint and Cerakote ceramic coating keep the exterior looking like new.

Builder: Austin Phipps

Phipps Built, Hermiston, Oregon
Vehicle: ’68 Chevrolet Camaro RS
Category: Young Guns

Most builders start to pursue their passion at a relatively early age. Then again, there are builders like Austin Phipps, who purchased this Camaro at age 13. It attracted his attention, he said, “due to the hideaway headlights of the Rally Sport, and I knew then that it was going to be the first car I was going to build.” Eight years later, it’s the sharp-looking tourer you see here.

The fun starts under the hood with a 400-plus-hp 383 Gen I small-block stuffed with all kinds of internals and bolt-ons from BluePrint Engines, including aluminum cylinder heads, a cast-steel crank, rods and pistons, and a roller camshaft. A Holley Sniper EFI system provides aspiration, and Hooker Super Comp headers and MagnaFlow Super 44 exhaust handle the spent gases.

The engine is mated to a 700-R4 transmission that sends power to a narrowed Dutchman Motorsports 10-in. rearend equipped with an Eaton Detroit Locker. An AccuAir suspension kit is plumbed into the chassis, and the rear features an owner-built triangulated four-link. Rushforth Rated X smoked-titanium wheels and Nexen tires keep the Chevy rolling, and a set of CPP disc brakes brings it to a halt.

Inside, all upholstery was handled by Phipps and his father Robert, and TMI provided the Porsche-red vinyl interior kit that features low-back front seats as well as the door, kick and quarter-panels. Auto Meter carbon-fiber gauges monitor underhood functions, and Classic Industries OER parts combine old-school aesthetics with digital technology. A Nardi woodgrain steering wheel lends another classic touch, and a modified B&M shifter handles gear changes.

Outside, Ringbrothers door handles and Eddie Motorsport hood hinges and door vents add further styling cues, and the bodywork was covered in an application of PPG DBC formula Switchblade Silver paint with red accents—a timeless design, in Phipps’ words.

Builder: Josh Croll

Croll’s Customs, Slatington, Pennsylvania
Vehicle: ’04 Subaru WRX STI
Category: Sport Compact

“The part of this car that stands out the most is that it looks like a hot rod even though it’s a sport compact,” Josh Croll said of his right-hand-drive conversion. Hot rod or not, one thing’s certain: This STI stands out in a crowd of capable builds.

Start with the custom paint scheme. It’s a builder-applied PPG Deltron custom fuchsia mix that was laid down after the entire body was flat-sanded using 800-grit before being hand-buffed. On top of that lay five layers of PPG VC5700 clear coat, which Croll estimates required some 3 gal. to cover the sheetmetal.

The rest of the exterior conveys an aggressive, muscular look, thanks to a molded-in wide-body kit from APR Performance that integrates the wide-body fenders with the OE front fenders and sheetmetal hood to maintain the OEM metal gaps. In the rear, an APR carbon spoiler enhances aerodynamics and adds a racy styling note.

“Even though it’s kind of wild with the wide-body kit, it still has the stock STI look to it,” Croll noted.

Under the hood, the engine bay has been completely shaved and coated in matching paint. The headlight buckets were modified to accommodate an IAG Magnum short-block engine with built heads, an IAG clear timing cover and a pink HKS timing belt to match the paint scheme. A Cosworth intake feeds 2,000cc injectors, and a CSF radiator keeps the engine cool. All told, the flex-fuel engine assembly produces close to an estimated 700 hp, which spin a set of Falken tires mounted on CCW rims.

Inside is an Alcantara gray interior featuring the original carpet, Sparco seats with etched-in logos, a Rallytech carbon-fiber rear seat delete, GT-spec chassis, and a one-of-a-kind carved aluminum rollcage. Reverse-hung Wilwood pedals control clutching and braking, and a full complement of Pro Sport gauges monitor engine functions.

Builder: Mark Giambalvo

Creative Rod & Kustom, Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania
Vehicle: ’65 Chevrolet C10
Category: Truck/Off-Road

The 2020 Truck category winner, Mark Giambalvo’s C10 started as a previous owner’s abandoned 20-year-old project rig, which Giambalvo then rehabbed and rebuilt into the finished creation you see today. The goal, he said, was to blend a Pro Street flavor with more modern influences.

Scarcely a body panel hasn’t seen some modification on the truck. The top was chopped 2 in., and an all-new hood was sectioned and equipped with ’55 Chevy hood hinges. The body was narrowed 5 in., and the doors were given the suicide treatment.

The one-piece front end features custom inner fender panels, and the grille has been recessed 1 in. into the truck. In the rear is a fully molded bed with a molded-shut tailgate. The bumpers were sourced from a ’69 Camaro, and the custom acrylic windshield was fabricated by A&M Hot Rod Glass. The body is covered in PPG 2019 Candy Red Tri-Coat with clear matte accents applied to afford a more modern look.

The project began with a stock chassis, which was boxed and outfitted with custom crossmembers. An Art Morrison front section was grafted in later, as was a rear section fabricated from 2x4 box tubing.

Between the framerails resides a Dart 572 Chevy big-block topped with a Kinsler injection system that’s been painted matte gray to match the finish on the Cerakoted Schott wheels. Exhaust is handled by custom exit pipes that have been frenched into the bedsides. A TCI six-speed transmission sends power to a 9-in. rearend, which turns a set of Mickey Thompson tires. The truck rides on a ladder-bar suspension and is halted by 14-in. Wilwood brakes.

Inside the Chevy is an all-custom leather interior from Bux Customs and a ’60 Chevy dash that has been treated to a host of Classic Instruments gauges.

Builder: Cody Medeisis

Modern Carriage Werks, Bridgeview, Illinois
Vehicle: ’68 Chevrolet Camaro
Category: Young Guns

“One of the things I like about this car is that you can drive it anywhere—not only to the racetrack but to any car show—and compete very well with it,” Cody Medeisis said of his ’68 Camaro, which took eight months to build on nothing but nights and weekends. Wherever it goes, it’s a worthy Young Guns category winner for 2020.

Starting under the hood, the Camaro is equipped with a 388ci LS engine that’s been outfitted with a Callies crankshaft, BoostLine connecting rods, JE pistons, Frankenstein Monster Series heads, Holley EFI, a Vortech V-7 YSi-B supercharger and a custom stainless-steel exhaust equipped with MagnaFlow mufflers and Granatelli Motorsports exhaust cutouts.

Aeromotive components enhance fuel flow; Cometic gaskets keep the heads properly seated; Derale cooling products help keep temperatures under control; and an Optima battery provides spark. The engine produces an estimated 900 hp. Because it’s intended to compete at Hot Rod Drag Week, it’s built to finish a 1,000-mi. race.

Behind the engine, a FTI Pro Series Powerglide transmission transfers power to a modified 9-in. rearend. Mickey Thompson tires and wheels are braked by Wilwood discs, and the rear ladder-bar suspension was replaced with old-school leaf springs in order to conform to the race-class specifications in which the car often competes.

The most labor-intensive part of the eight-month frame-up build, Medeisis said, was the paint and bodywork, all of which was designed and applied by the builder. The body was sandblasted down to bare metal, and then a custom paint scheme—a pink base with red candy on top—was meticulously applied along with ’68-inspired striping that was ghosted in red candy.

All of it was then blocked and hand buffed so that it looks like a mirror. Medeisis estimated that he spent at least 400 hours on the paint and body alone.

Builder: Chip Foose

Foose Design, Huntington Beach, California
Vehicle: ’74 Jaguar E-Type Roadster
Category: Sport Compact

Master builder Chip Foose summed up his BOTB goals: “I have a customer who has spent a lot of money for me to build a nice car for him. If we win Battle of the Builders, then I did my job.”

The 2020 Sport Compact category winner, this E-type continues the Foose tradition of impeccable build quality while maintaining a keen eye on aesthetics, taking out the heavy-handed details and creating a more tailored car, Foose said.

The vehicle started life as a ’74 E-Type, but only the hood center section, grille surround, front cowl and floor remain of the unmodified stock parts. Up front, the bumper guards were deleted, and hand-formed one-off bumpers were made to a smoother styling line. The grille work is all custom, as are the headlight lenses and moldings. The hood scoop was extended rearward to better complement the rake of the windshield. The hood louvers were reversed to create a smoother styling line, and the front and rear badging is courtesy of a Jaguar 120.

The rear bodywork was equally extensive, with all of the sheetmetal aft of the doors composed of custom components. The rear deck lid was lengthened and narrowed, and the custom rear quarters were blistered out an additional 21/2 in. on each side to accommodate a wider-than-stock wheel and tire combination.

The taillights, moldings, bumpers and trim were all hand fabricated. The rocker panels were extended 2 in. downward for an improved look, and Curtis Speed side mirrors were fitted to hand-made mirror stems. When assembly was complete, the bodywork was treated to custom Glasurit Palm Copper paint.

Under the hood rests an LS3 crate engine that’s backed by a 4L60E transmission. A custom ram-air intake was hand fabricated, as were the radiator and condenser. A one-off MagnaFlow dual system handles the exhaust. The suspension design was kept stock, though it was narrowed 4 in. in front and 6 in. in the rear to clear wider tires and wheels. Custom Foose-designed faux spoke “billet wire” wheels provide a measure of exterior dazzle while retaining a classic look.

The Winner: SEMA360 Battle of the Builders Champion

Builder: Brady Ranweiler

Show Cars Automotive, New Ulm, Minnesota
Vehicle: ’63 Chevrolet Custom Wagon
Category: Hot Rod

“It’s a huge honor to be a part of this,” Brady Ranweiler said of participating in the BOTB finals, and his fellow builders honored him, along with his co-builders—his father Bradley and brother Cory—with the top prize at this year’s competition. Originally a four-door ’63 Chevy wagon, the custom two-door conversion is the first wagon ever to win the overall title at Battle of the Builders. Photos don’t do this vehicle justice, as the Chevy utilizes more than 300 one-off components.

Start with the fully unitized front end, where the front outer fenders are melded into the firewall and the lower inner fenders are likewise integrated into the floor. The one-off front bumper is a slide-in unit that uses no brackets or bolts to secure. The roof was lowered roughly 3 in., and the angle of the A-pillars was altered 7 degrees and moved forward. Aft of the A-pillars is a single piece of 17-ft. sheetmetal featuring custom hand-built B- and C-pillars—and, of course, losing the rear passenger doors to create a two-door wagon. The glasswork is likewise all custom, courtesy of A&M Hot Rod Glass.

The customizer’s touch can be seen all across the rear of the Chevy as well. The rear windshield molding took 70 hours of bending to fit to the bodywork. The drip moldings were cut out of brass on a precision wood router table and then custom mandrel bent. The rear gate, like the hood, is a power unit, and the far-left taillight is set up to rotate 180 degrees out of position under power to reveal the fuel filler door.

A peek under the hood reveals a clean presentation, with all fasteners and wiring save the plug wires hidden from view. For instance, lines for the one-off cooling fans are embedded inside two of the fins and routed through the fan shroud. All told, more than 100 custom parts are used in the engine bay. The uncluttered look continues throughout the undercarriage, where all noticeable fasteners have been replaced by custom-machined bolts that have been hidden from view.

For all its many refinements, the wagon has plenty of brute power on tap. Resting between the rails of an Art Morrison chassis is an old-school, cast-iron 409 V8 bored .100 over and equipped with a 502 crank and rods. Now displacing 509 ci, the Hillborn-
injected engine produces close to 650 hp. It’s backed by a TCI transmission and kept cool by an all-custom cooling system. Power is transferred to a set of Pirelli tires wrapped around Evod wheels, and 14-in. Wilwood brakes bring the wagon to a stop.

The Chevy’s interior is highlighted by custom tanned Italian oxblood leather from M&M Auto Interiors. As with the exterior, many small touches are seamlessly integrated into the design, including the seat frames with stainless trim that were sourced from a ’59 Cadillac Eldorado.

LEGISLATIVE AND TECHNICAL AFFAIRS

Law and Order

By Stuart Gosswein

FEDERAL UPDATE

COVID-19 Relief Bill: Following months of debate, the U.S. Congress agreed to a nearly $900 billion coronavirus stimulus plan. The law was enacted in December and reopened the Paycheck Protection Program to provide loans for companies with 300 or fewer employees, including second loans for businesses that had suffered a 25% or more loss of revenue during the pandemic. The loans are forgiven if certain requirements are met, and amounts spent on the business expenses are deductible. The stimulus plan makes it easier for businesses to file a one-page forgiveness application for loans of $150,000 or less. The law extends the $300 weekly federal supplement unemployment insurance until mid-March and provides relief funds for childcare, education, farmers, airlines and vaccine development, among other provisions. The plan includes a second round of direct $600 payments for individuals. The law renews the employee retention tax credit for businesses that keep workers on their payrolls and extends several expiring tax credits including the seven-year recovery period for motorsports entertainment complexes through December 31, 2025. The law does not include a SEMA-supported temporary federal liability shield against COVID-
related lawsuits or funding for state and local governments.

Automated Driving Systems: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued an advanced proposed rule to begin creating a framework for regulatory oversight of Automated Driving Systems (ADS). The agency is seeking public comment on ADS safety issues. The framework is intended to define, assess and manage ADS performance safety issues while providing flexibility for continued design innovation. NHTSA identified four core ADS functions:

• Sensing: The ability of the automated vehicle (AV) to receive information from its environment.
• Perception: The ability of the AV to interpret the information received through sensors.
• Planning: The ability of the AV to establish and navigate a route to its destination.
• Control: The ability of the AV to execute the driving functions necessary to carry out the driving plan.

Although wide-scale deployment of AVs may be several years away, the technology is being actively developed and tested—from cameras, radar and LIDAR to global-position satellite data, vehicle-to-vehicle communications and vehicle-to-everything devices. The technology is being included in new crash-avoidance safety systems such as automated braking and lane-departure warnings. NHTSA noted that it is premature for the agency to consider issuing safety standards or other performance standards for ADS competency.

NHTSA Test Procedures: NHTSA invited the public to identify any test procedures under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) that should be modified or repealed. Most of the FMVSS governs the entire motor vehicle, from braking systems and tire-pressure monitoring systems to crash-worthiness standards (roof crush, side impact, air bags, etc.). Some standards cover equipment such as tires, brake hoses and fluids, and glazing materials. NHTSA uses the FMVSS test procedures to confirm that a vehicle or item of equipment complies with a particular standard. Companies self-certify compliance and, if asked, the agency expects them to have a reasonable basis for reaching that conclusion. A manufacturer may select an appropriate way to evaluate the product, including actual testing, computer simulation, engineering analyses or other means. Questions on whether FMVSS tests are still valid might include: Do the tests require equipment that is obsolete or no longer available at a reasonable cost? Are there any test procedures that do not accurately reflect real-world scenarios? Has industry developed better and/or more cost-effective tests?

STATE UPDATE

California and Washington—Copper Brakes: Beginning January 1, 2021, the states of California and Washington prohibited the sale of automotive brakes containing more than 5% copper. The ban on excessive copper stems from a pair of 2010 laws designed to limit the amount of the chemical in waterways. By 2025, brakes must contain less that 0.5% copper. Copper is used as a friction material in brake pads, as it effectively dissipates heat and allows for smooth braking. However, each time a vehicle’s brakes are applied, copper dust is released that eventually makes its way into waterways, where it is toxic to marine life. In 2015, brake manufacturers, automakers and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signed a memorandum of understanding agreeing to adopt California’s and Washington’s standards and to phase out the use of copper brake pads.

New Jersey—License Plates: The New Jersey legislature introduced a pair of SEMA-supported bills permitting the state’s Motor Vehicle Commission to issue a newly created classic license plate to be available for display on all vehicles. It will resemble the license plates issued between 1979 and 1991. The bills currently await consideration in the Assembly Transportation and Independent Authorities Committee and Senate Transportation Committee.

EPA Issues New Policy on Tampering and Defeat Devices

The EPA released a new EPA Tampering Policy (November 23, 2020), which replaces Mobile Source Enforcement Memorandum 1A (June 25, 1974). The policy addresses civil enforcement of the Clean Air Act’s prohibitions on tampering and aftermarket defeat devices.

The updated policy emphasizes Memo 1A’s guidance that the EPA does not take enforcement action if the party engaging in the conduct has a documented “reasonable basis” to conclude that the part, component or part installation will not adversely affect emissions. SEMA generally welcomes the revised policy, as it will now allow SEMA members to undertake emissions testing and maintain the test data to document a “reasonable basis” for demonstrating that the part does not take a vehicle out of emissions compliance. The test data can be raised as a defense to EPA enforcement, except in California, which is separately governed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) through its Executive Order (EO) program.

SEMA is seeking further clarification from EPA on how the policy will be applied to certain types of parts and required test data. The new policy identifies systems that monitor, process or reduce emissions such as onboard diagnostics, electronic control units (ECUs), and exhaust gas recirculation, noting that a product that changes these systems might be an illegal defeat device. Under both the previous EPA Memo 1A and the new policy, products that have been successfully tested pursuant to the CARB EO program, including modified ECUs, are treated by EPA as legal for sale.

The policy includes six categories illustrating what the EPA views to be a reasonable basis. Paraphrased here, they are:

• Reasonable Basis A: The part is identical to the EPA-certified configuration [replacement parts].
• Reasonable Basis B: The equipment is a replacement after-treatment system that is as effective as the vehicle’s or engine’s original system and is durable enough to last for a period of time equal to at least half of the vehicle’s or engine’s useful life as defined in EPA regulations [example: replacement catalytic converters].
• Reasonable Basis C: Addition of a new after-treatment system to decrease emissions [examples: diesel particulate filters and oxidation catalysts].
• Reasonable Basis D: Aftermarket modification parts where emissions testing demonstrates no adverse effect on emissions [example: specialty add-on equipment].
• Reasonable Basis E: Aftermarket part certified or approved by EPA.
• Reasonable Basis F: Aftermarket part exempted by CARB.

Of these six, D is the expression of the common industry practice of conducting testing on an aftermarket part to determine the emissions impact of the part. While not a mandate, the policy suggests using the services of a third-party test facility (such as SEMA Garage). The policy provides guidance on demonstrating a reasonable basis, including:

• Testing may be performed by an independent test facility or by the aftermarket parts manufacturer, but the test data documenting a reasonable basis should be gathered in advance of sales or product installation.
• In-use testing protocols and accelerated aging techniques should employ procedures recognized by the EPA and consistent with good engineering judgment. OEM deterioration factors used for EPA certification may be employed.
• The product should be tested on a “worst case” vehicle or another scenario for which the product is intended to be installed.

The policy makes clear that emissions testing requirements and prohibitions on tampering and defeat devices apply for the entire life of vehicles, engines and equipment and continue to apply regardless of whether the regulatory “useful life” or warranty period has ended.

The policy does not address the issue of EPA-certified motor vehicles that are converted into a vehicle used solely for motorsports competition nor the related aftermarket parts sold exclusively for the track. SEMA is seeking clarification to verify that such parts are exempt from the emissions compliance and testing requirements.

SEMA had urged the EPA to update its tampering policy and believes the new document provides a reasonable new pathway for companies to demonstrate compliant products.

The EPA is continuing to reevaluate its 1986 policy on catalytic converters. The agency published a request for information on potential costs and air-quality benefits of withdrawing or changing the 1986 catalyst policy; the current state of the market of replacement catalysts, including the cost, volume of sales, frequency of installation, the age and mileage of vehicles on which replacement catalysts are installed; to what extent catalyst replacement is needed due to failure of the original catalyst or other reason, including theft; and the effectiveness of replacement catalysts at treating air pollution.

BUSINESS BEST PRACTICES

Planning for 2021 Growth

Four Quick SWOT Exercises to Move a Business From Great Ideas to Real Results

By Mike Imlay

Annual business planning is a proven growth driver. Unfortunately, many small-business people may be tempted to skip that task for 2021, since traditional strategic planning often ties up time and resources. Plus, with COVID-19, who can predict the marketplace?

But branding strategist Mike Brown of The Brainzooming Group has an answer to this dilemma. In a recent SEMA360 education seminar entitled “Turning Great Ideas Into Strategies to Produce Real Results,” he presented a streamlined strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) process that can improve a team’s success through a series of bite-sized, 30-min. exercises. What’s more, Brown’s method is perfectly adapted to an uncertain business climate.

SWOT analysis is a familiar business-planning tool—so familiar that it can seem stale. But Brown believes that The Brainzooming Group’s reimagined exercises can help generate new ideas, set realistic and attainable goals, and ultimately produce business plans that make a true difference.

“We’re in a period of disruption right now, and that’s going to continue,” Brown said. “The trick is how you think about strategy and plans in a time of prolonged disruption. It can be easy to think, ‘Well, I’m just going to wing it. I’ve sort of gotten there so far and we’ve survived, so I’ll sort of see what happens.’ That’s not a great idea.”

A better idea is taking regular half-hour sit-downs to focus on different SWOT areas. The following are some of Brown’s favorite exercises that business owners can do individually or in working groups with staff.

30-Min. Strengths Exercise

A lot of business people are trying to figure out how to conduct business in the new normal, but Brown believes that it’s more useful to ask what the “new important” is right now for their brand.

“Is that going after new customers? Is it trying to win back the customers you had? Is it finding new ways to serve them, new ways to operate?” he asked. Take 30 min. to list and rank what’s currently most important. Then look at those priorities from new perspectives. How might another person see those priorities from a distance or from an opposing viewpoint or in the details or from a different angle?

“Using those four different perspectives, you’ll start to see things in a different way, and that can really help you think about the strengths of your business as you look toward 2021,” Brown said.

30-Min. Weakness Exercise

“When it comes to weaknesses, it’s not always the big, scary things that can crater a business but rather those things that are really familiar,” Brown said. He added that the key is to think about where you are right now in the current climate and, as you look ahead, anticipate other challenges that may be out there.

But how can you discover your operation’s hidden weaknesses? Brown recommends taking 20 min. to compile five lists:

• Procedures or structures that have carried your operations through so far with few or no glitches.
• Things your business is doing more often now than before.
• Aspects of your operations that you can currently afford to ignore.
• Processes you have hurriedly pieced together.
• Things you’re depending on heavily right now.

“Take about 20 min. to look at those things and then another 10 min. to ask, ‘What happens if they fail now? Where are we going to see the challenges?’” Brown suggested. “If you can do that exercise, it’s a great way to get a handle not only on your traditional weaknesses in business—because, again, we’re not in a traditional time right now—but those things that are working but which could fail in the months ahead during 2021.”

Once those weaknesses are identified, you can begin to put plans in place to try to address them.

30-Min. Opportunities Exercise

“The ‘O’ in SWOT is ‘opportunities,’ and that means thinking about how you grow and develop your brand during this crazy time that’s still going on,” Brown said. To assist with identifying new opportunities, The Brainzooming Group has come up with several 30-min. modules, starting with a customer-focused exercise.

“One of the most important things is to think about where your customers’ heads are,” he said. “Do you really know where they’re at? Have you been talking to them, surveying them and reaching out to them? During times when you’ve been shut down, have you stayed in touch?

“It’s interesting that when we talk to people in different regions of the country, their mindsets are in different places. Some people are like, ‘Hey, this thing has passed, it’s over, we’re going to keep rolling.’ Other people are really still [sheltering] in place, suffering with preexisting conditions, feeling at high risk and saying, ‘I don’t know when I’m going to leave the house again.’ And there’s everything in between.

“Don’t just make assumptions as you think about opportunities and what your customers are thinking right now—find ways to reach out to them.”

While Brown acknowledged that actually reaching out obviously takes more than 30 min., he noted that a business planner can easily sit down and ask what they should know about their customers in 30 min. That will naturally lead to new opportunities for addressing customers’ changing needs.

30-Min. Threat Exercise

Typically, Brown said, businesses look at institutional issues or outside factors as threats, but planners often miss a more general threat right under their noses: how they prioritize ideas.

“A lot of businesspeople and entrepreneurs tell me they have ideas all the time but just don’t get to all of them—there’s just way too many,” he explained.

To overcome that, Brown advised drawing up a grid of four squares (see illustration above) representing evolutionary ideas that are simple to do, revolutionary ideas that are simple to implement, evolutionary ideas that are complex to achieve, and revolutionary ideas that are complex to achieve. Next, gather a list of ideas and place each one individually into an appropriate square on the chart.

The priority ideas will quickly emerge in the “revolutionary and simple” square. Those will be the ideas a business will want to jump on. The ideas revealed in the “evolutionary and complex” square can take on the lowest priority.

FROM THE HILL

Dr. Speed

A Profile of California’s Racing Champion in Congress

By Eric Snyder

How many members of Congress grew up around racing, have three degrees from Harvard and spend their free time providing medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic? If you guessed one, you’re correct. His name is U.S. Representative Raul Ruiz (D-CA), and SEMA is fortunate to call him a friend.

A doctor by trade, Rep. Ruiz grew up around dirt-track racing, which forged his admiration for the men and women who compete on the track. Rep. Ruiz is not only one of the most accomplished members of Congress, but he has also proven himself a strong ally of the automotive aftermarket and racing communities.

Dr. Ruiz’s path to Congress was anything but typical, yet the challenges he faced during his youth shaped him into the leader he is today. He was raised in a family of agriculture workers in Coachella, California. With space at a premium in the trailer where they lived when he was a young boy, Rep. Ruiz and his brother slept on the family’s kitchen table rather than a bed.

The Congressman’s family knew what it meant to sacrifice, but they also made time for some fun at local racetracks. During Dr. Ruiz’s formative years, he spent countless hours at Carlsbad Raceway and the Riverside County Fairgrounds in Indio, California, where his father raced modified midgets. The Congressman looks back fondly at the nights he spent at the track and the times he held the flashlight while his father worked on his own race vehicle.

For Rep. Ruiz, his time on the pit crew was about bonding with his family, while his real passion was becoming a doctor. As an enterprising high-school student, he walked from business to business in the summer heat of the Coachella Valley to meet with company owners about investing in his college education. In return for their contributions, he promised to use his education to benefit the local community.

Dr. Ruiz went to the University of California Los Angeles for his undergraduate studies before earning a medical degree from Harvard University as well as a master’s of public policy from the university’s Kennedy School of Government and a master’s of public health. He served as an international emergency medicine fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, and completed his residency in emergency medicine at the University of Pittsburgh.

In 2007, Dr. Ruiz moved back to California to work as an emergency-room physician at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, the only nonprofit hospital in the Coachella Valley. In the spirit of giving back to the local community, Dr. Ruiz opened a free clinic and created a premedical mentorship program for young aspiring doctors to help address the physician shortage in the area. The program grew to include more than 200 local students and is now part of the University of California, Riverside’s School of Medicine, where Dr. Ruiz served as a senior associate dean. In 2010, Dr. Ruiz founded the Coachella Valley Healthcare Initiative, which brought together stakeholders from across the region to improve healthcare access and wellness.

The Congressman’s passion for providing medical care to the less fortunate has taken him around the world, as he worked as a consultant to the Ministries of Health of both Serbia and El Salvador. Dr. Ruiz was one of the first doctors on the ground in Haiti after a 2010 earthquake devastated the country, serving as the medical director for the J/P Haitian Relief Organization. The U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division awarded Dr. Ruiz the Commanders Award for Public Service for his work.

Rep. Ruiz continued his work as an emergency-room doctor until he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2012, when he defeated seven-term U.S. Representative Mary Bono (R-CA). Dr. Ruiz was handily reelected in November to his fifth term as U.S. Representative for California’s 36th District, which includes the Coachella Valley and the cities of Banning, Beaumont, Blythe, Hemet and San Jacinto. The Congressman was also selected to chair the Congressional Hispanic Caucus during the 117th Congress (2021 and 2022).

As a member of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Ruiz served as the lead Democratic sponsor of the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act (RPM Act), a bipartisan bill to protect Americans’ right to convert street vehicles into dedicated race cars and the motorsports-parts industry’s ability to sell products that enable racers to compete. The Congressman is a passionate advocate for passing the RPM Act because he understands the importance of racing, which provides everyone involved with quality time outdoors with families and friends.

“Racing has always been close to my heart from the countless hours I spent with my father at the track,” Rep. Ruiz said. “I am glad to support car owners and race enthusiasts around the country in their passion for racing, working on cars, and sharing moments with their sons and daughters under the hood.”

A version of the RPM Act was included in a House-passed bill in 2020, although the legislation did not become law before the 116th Congress concluded in early January. Rep. Ruiz intends to lead the fight to provide long-term certainty to racers and motorsports parts businesses in the new Congress and has told SEMA that he plans to celebrate passage of the bill with SEMA members and staff at a Southern California race track.

Healthcare policy is undeniably Dr. Ruiz’s top legislative priority in Congress, but he is also passionate about supporting small businesses and good government. Rep. Ruiz has never voted to raise the pay for members of Congress and is the lead sponsor of a bill to prohibit federal lawmakers from using taxpayer money to fly first class. His pragmatic approach to policymaking is a product of both his professional and life experiences.

“In the ER, I learned that life-and-death situations require working as a team,” he said. “We don’t put ourselves or our ideological opinions first. We treat the patient and solve the problems. That’s the same approach I’ve brought to Congress to find bipartisan solutions that keep Americans safe and get real results for our local communities.”

When Rep. Ruiz is not in Washington, D.C., working to shape everything from healthcare policy to pro-small-business legislation, he can be found spending time with his wife Monica and their twin girls Sky and Sage, or providing medical care in his local community. Over the past year, Dr. Ruiz has participated in four COVID-19 testing events, personally administering tests to farmworkers, the homeless, and underserved communities.

’22 BMW X7 As a big, luxurious, three-row SUV, the BMW X7 is doing quite well, and work has already begun on a mid-life refresh. Our shooter caught the car testing in Munich. Even though the X7 can technically be compared to only the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class, there’s a lot of competition coming from the United States. It’s even rumored that Lexus will have a new three-row crossover and a flagship SUV. Though little is known at this moment, the biggest BMW SUV should have its updates ready by 2022. The ’22 X7 will have a different engine range compared with the one the SUV came out with. The quad-turbo diesel M50d may be replaced by the M45e plug-in hybrid.
’22 Kia Sportage The all-new ’22 Kia Sportage is starting to take shape. A thinly disguised prototype was snapped testing on the Nürburgring ahead of its likely reveal later this spring. The ’22 Sportage will ride on a variation of the platform underpinning the ’21 Hyundai Tucson revealed last December. It’s expected to be longer, wider and taller than the current model—which is now looking small in comparison to the latest Toyota RAV4, despite only launching in ’15. These images show wide fenders and sharper flanks than the current model, along with wheels that share plenty in common with those on the Tucson. It’s expected to be offered with gas, hybrid and plug-in hybrid drivetrains like the Tucson.
’22 Toyota Tundra After almost two years, we officially have our first look at the next-gen Tundra. In these shots, the Tundra gains a six-lug axle setup. This prototype also maintains the “street sweeper” camo seen on earlier mules, which strategically hides the rear axle and underpinnings and suggests a newly re-engineered rear suspension—perhaps a multilink or an optional air suspension à la Ram. The next Tundra will ride on an all-new platform, internally called F1. It is said to be flexible enough to accommodate all Toyota body-on-frame pickup and SUV models globally, which includes the Tacoma and the smaller HiLux (not sold in the United States or Canada) as well as SUV models such as the 4Runner and Sequoia.

HERITAGE

Snapping Like Matches

By Drew Hardin

Photography Courtesy: Eric Rickman, Petersen Publishing Company Archive

The Mint 400 has earned a longstanding reputation as being one of the roughest off-road races in the country, as this photo from 1969 attests. John Thawley, reporting on the race for the June 1969 issue of Hot Rod, said 206 entries started the two-day event, but just 21 finished the required eight laps of the course—“46 miles of dust, rock, and talcum powder along Nevada desert roads laced with holes, ditches, hills, and a wide and ugly assortment of equipment-breaking surprises.”

Breakage was especially common among the buggies in the race, he wrote. “At least 13 cars were put out of action by broken VW spindles.” The “snapping like matches” line used for this story’s title came from Thawley’s caption for this photo, describing the havoc the Mint course wreaked on the VW front ends. “A little weight transfer aids in getting the tricycle home,”
he added.

A motorcycle won the race overall, though the two-wheeled entries suffered from the conditions, too. Famed racer (and the previous year’s winner) J.N. Roberts dropped out due to talc-like silt fouling the ignition on his Husqvarna. The same happened to the Bultaco ridden by Larry Berquist and Gary Preston. First overall was claimed by Mike Patrick and Phil Bowers, who rode a Yamaha 250 to victory in a little over 10 hours. The first four-wheeled vehicle to finish, John and Linda Johnson’s Corvair-powered buggy, came in more than four hours behind them.

Al and Bobby Unser, driving a Bronco prepared by Bill Stroppe, weren’t spared Mint drama during the race.

“With Bobby at the wheel and Al riding shotgun, the Bronco took a tumble the first day’s running,” Thawley wrote. “On the second day of the race, Bobby flew back to Indy for some tire testing, and Al rode with Parnelli Jones. You guessed it: Jones tumbled the Bronco. Al just has to have a few choice words on the subject of off-road racing.”

Talented Builders Deliver Despite COVID

By Chris Kersting

In a year that delivered a lot of obstacles, it’s been a challenge for enterprises of all types to stay focused and deliver on long-term goals and objectives. Here at SEMA, our team has been intent on making adjustments but also working with the industry to keep valuable, long-term programs and benefits on track. An example is the annual Battle of the Builders program, a show-car competition involving SEMA and the industry’s talented builders that helps energize people everywhere to engage and enjoy the automotive lifestyle.

As a long-term strategic initiative, the Battle of the Builders checks a lot of boxes. It celebrates the important role builders play in our industry, and the Young Guns component shines a light on career paths in automotive customization. As the source of TV and digital content that’s broadcast to a wide audience, the program generates excitement about specialty automotive hobbies and creates greater awareness of the industry’s products among consumers. For the future, we see the Battle of the Builders content helping SEMA attract more and more enthusiasts who can then increase our collective voice on legislative and regulatory issues impacting the hobby.

Delivering the Battle of the Builders program this year required participants and SEMA to work an entirely new plan. Without the live SEMA Show in Las Vegas, it was necessary to create a means of virtual judging to narrow the field to the Top 12 finalists.

Next, we transported those finalists and their amazing rides to a studio setting in Los Angeles, where the builders convened and took on the role of competition judges. They carefully reviewed and scored each of the Top 12 and selected the category winners and, ultimately, this year’s winner.

Over the seven years of its existence, the program has consistently increased audience size and exposure across the spectrum. The TV audience was measured at 3 million in the first year and had grown to 5.9 million by 2019. Last year’s program (the most recent for which complete data exists) generated another 16 million social-media impressions through the use of influencer campaigns, and short video webisodes yielded another 2.6 million video views.

This year’s SEMA Battle of the Builders show premiered February 7 on History Channel outlets, and earlier preview webisodes had already logged more than 1 million video views prior to the premiere. This kind of exposure has attracted entries from the industry’s best-known builders—the likes of Chip Foose, Alan Johnson, the Ringbrothers, Troy Trepanier, Troy Ladd and so many more. But the program has also been successful at nurturing younger builders and bringing them into the spotlight through its Young Guns category (under age 27), which begins at regional car and truck events.

This year, five of the Battle of the Builders Top 12 were either Young Guns or former Young Guns. Over the years, Young Guns participation in the program has grown, with many now connecting with SEMA Show exhibitors and gaining experience in elite circles. It’s been exciting to chart the progress of the younger builders who have been eager to prove that their work compares with the best in the industry.

SEMA and our industry partners are making preparations for an outstanding in-person return to the SEMA Show in Las Vegas next November. But if for any reason we have to veer from that plan, rest assured that your trade association—and the industry members we serve—will maintain a sense of priorities and deliver the goods even as we manage through short-term disruption.

“The current overall performance market was extremely strong in 2020. I think most companies felt business would crash when the COVID-19 virus hit—and we did see business slow down in April. Then business came back with a vengeance. I believe people have been restricted in their activities, such as going out to eat, going to the ballpark, taking cruises or going to Disneyland.

The one thing a person can do is work on that project car or race car that they’ve had in the garage. They now have some extra money and time to pour into their hobby, and the result is an increase in business for the industry.”—Russell Stephens, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, PerTronix Performance Brands

Performance Distributors calibrates the advance curve on a distributor machine to accommodate the timing requirements of these unique engines. The optimized curve provides instant throttle response and maximum performance throughout your RPM range, while protecting your engine from detonation. Two versions are available. The Street/Strip version fires to a strong 7,000 RPMs, while the Racing version fires to 10,000 RPMs.

The distributor comes complete, including the dependable Street/Strip  D.U.I. Coil( or Racing Coil) and Dyna-Module, which allow you to open up your plug gaps to .050”-.055”, burning your fuel more completely.  Magnetic pick-up coil power is ensured by aligning the teeth on the pick-up to the teeth on the shaft reluctor, to very exact tolerances. An additional step that also ensures maximum magnetic pick-up coil power is the hand setting of the end-play between the distributor gear and the distributor housing. Proper lubrication of the D.U.I. distributor, along with test firing of the electronic components, provide you with not only an excellent performing ignition system, but also with a very reliable one.
