BIRMINGHAM, AL** FEBRUARY 28, 2013: Blue Torch Fab Jason Carner took his single seat Ultra4 car to the Southeast Dirt Riot race in Alabama and won just 3 weeks after competing in the King of the Hammers.* The vibrant and noticeable blue and white Miller Welders wrap on the car only lasted a short time before being covered with Alabama mud. “It was a good race, and I think if the weather had been better there would have been a better turn out,” said Carner.* “It was important to me to go down there and support the W.E. Rock group for bringing this event to our backyard.* It is my goal to win this Southeast Series, so this win helps put us on the top to start!”
It truly was a muddy mess, literally mud hole after mud hole at The Great American Park in Auburn, AL.* “The first couple tear offs worked, and then I grabbed a handful by accident and that was the end of those.* Then the wet rag only worked for so long, so it was quite interesting,” Jason laughed.* He drives a single seat car without a co-driver to help him navigate.* “Usually I don’t have too much problem with reading the GPS and racing, but on this course, it was marked so well that I really didn’t need it which was good because it got covered with mud too!”
The Miller Welders / Blue Torch Fab car is very unique with a lot of different features.* The Wilwood cutting brakes system was one of the most beneficial in this tight course racing.* “Wilwood helped me design a cutting brake system that is independent of the standard brake system.* Modeled after drifting cars, I have a standard 6 piston caliper setup for the normal brake system and a 4 piston caliper setup for the cutting brakes.* This system allows me to have many options including having a backup braking system if anything were to happen,” explained Carner.
The next Southeast Dirt Riot race will be at Gray Rock in Birmingham, Alabama April 27th.* “That race will only be about 15 minutes away from the shop.* We welcome anyone that is coming to town to swing by and visit us.* Just like anywhere, once you have been to our shop, you have a better understanding and appreciation for the off-road parts that we produce.”* Visit their shop online at*www.bluetorchfab.com.
