Summernats 18 Newsflash.
11th January, 2005
CAPA Performance, the major sponsors of the horsepower heroes at the Summernats, achieved the year long task of producing a vehicle with over 1000 rear wheel horsepower. The CAPA Crewman produced 1022 horsepower on the dyno, this conservatively equates to over 1185 horsepower at the engine. This makes the CAPA Crewman the most powerful LS-1 road driven car in Australia, possibly the world. We are also happy to report that the CAPA Crewman returned 13.2 Litres per 100km fuel economy on it's 1000km journey to Canberra.

A big thanks to Peter Haylock (Plan B) for his help over the weekend and also making his CAPA Turbo Ute Available, ripping 491HP at the rear wheels, showing how smooth and reliable the Turbo Kit really is.

Also making it's first appearance was the all new CAPA drift ute, carrying CAPA's new colours. The car is set to make it's debut on the race track at Mallala on the 29th of January. The CAPA stunt team (previously the donut king stunt team) put on a sensational show this year at the Summernats.

CAPA would also like to congratulate Eddy Tassone for his win of the Horsepower Heroes, making 1259.6 horsepower at the rear wheels.

On a last note CAPA had a great weekend with Robbie Bolger showing his skills of drifting in the CAPA Crewman on the Today Show. The Sunday Times and The Canberra Times ran a story explaining how a spur of the moment suggestion from Robbie Bolger that the scheduled burn of the Mr Whippy van wasn't enough and burning Lawrence the Legend's Double Decker Bus was the way to go. Robbie put it to the crowd and the crowd went wild. Unfortunately time didn't permit, as Chic Henry's time schedule was very tight.

What a great start to the year.
