Reason for building the car:

I love the AWD GTR platform and I’m a drag racer from the word go, I can’t hide the love of the sport, it shows up in whatever I build or do.

Thanks to:

Tim Lynch (Lynchmob Racing), 100% without his help this car would not exist. He went over and above to make the car a reality for me.

Thanks to Zohair at Boost Logic, another company who also played a major role in making this car what it is and for all the help they provided me.

Brett with Aeromotive fuel systems for the product help and support with these brushless pumps and regulators. I have used Aeromotive products on every car I have built or raced.

Nick Dixon- Thanks for the tuning and putting up with my good and not so good ideas, and for keeping this thing running perfect while I try to decide if I wanna drive it 200 miles in an evening like a stock vehicle OR make it go really fast down a dragstrip.

Thanks to my kids (twins) Jayna and Walker Wilson for basically living in my shop after school until late hours of the night while we got this thing going.

There’s not much room to see the rear cradle due to the aero panel used for half-mile events.

Fueling is unique on Genes GTR; he runs a two brushless Aeromotive fuel pump system. One 3.5 gpm for street duty, and the other 7.0 gpm unit comes on for full-throttle situations. The factory fuel tank rests above the transmission and “saddlebags” off each side, and it works well until higher power applications start having fuel heat issues. To solve the challenge, Gene built a one-off 16-gallon fuel cell for the trunk like most drag cars run. The rest of the fuel system is also split into street and full-throttle modes; six Injector Dynamics 1700cc injectors are for street use while the other six 2600ccs come on at full throttle. If that’s not enough, a nitrous system is also wired in just in case. MoTec’s
