Working for Dallara Automobili now.

Here is an article about the new factory on page 2:

Building is delayed because the weather has been so crappy here, so we are moving into a temporary building across the street from where the new one is being built.

Very excited about getting in on the ground floor on this deal.

Very nice, what will you be doing ? Didn't Dallara dabble in F1 back in the day or did I dream it ??

Had a family friend that worked for Renault during thier F1 days developing engines at thier Northampton site he loved it.

Purchasing Manager

I have to outfit a 100,000 sq ft building first, while I am sourcing and getting stuff made and bought for the 2012 car.

Big job to do!

Lemme know if you have problems sourcing parts for the car. I have a ton of vendors I've worked with in all forms of manufacturing technologies.

you should give us a virtual tour with a go-pro once it's up and running. seriously working for a race team was my dream job until I realized I was graduating during an economic crisis when auto sales were plummeting, so I went another route.

Good luck Indy Maico from a fellow maico rider. If you need any cool artwork for the reception at the new factory, let me know!

Congrats,

Growing up in Indiana I was a big Indy 500 and CART fan in the 80's and early 90's, Now living in Texas I've never missed an IRL race at Texas motor speedway.

I can't wait for the turbocharged engines with the new Dallara chassis in 2012.

I read where there going to hold off on the different aero kits until 2013 due to cost and the late arivial of the cars.


Here is the car:
