Every update names a specific part, a specific problem, and a specific outcome. If something went wrong, it’s here. That’s not weakness — that’s the only kind of credibility that can’t be faked.

The Engine Program
PLATFORM:        Dodge 5.7L V8
APPLICATION:     CARS Tour / Late Model Stock
PROGRAM STATUS:  Build Phase · March 2026
AI SIMULATION:   Integrated from design phase
TARGET:          CARS Tour competition 2027
PARTNERSHIP:     Dodge (discussion stage)

The 5.7L Dodge engine is not a spec purchase. We are building it — designing, fabricating, and testing it with AI simulation integrated from the start of the design phase. That’s not how most programs at this level operate. Most programs buy horsepower. We’re building the understanding of why the horsepower is where it is, which is the only knowledge that compounds over a five-year development cycle.

The AI simulation layer runs parallel to the physical build. When the simulation disagrees with the dyno — and it does, regularly — that disagreement is the data. We publish it.

Driver Development

Six drivers. One ladder.

The development program identifies, trains, and advances drivers through the Late Model Stock → CARS Tour → ARCA → O’Reilly Series pipeline. These are real programs with real schedules — not announcements without seats.
