I tell you one thing that is for sure the kid is smarter than your average bear so to speak. My only question about this whole 2 year process is why if he is from florida would he travel all the way to Cherokee to test a couple of times this year instead of finding tracks down that way from FL and the bottom or GA to test on
    He doesn't live in Florida anymore he is close to Charlotte now, I assume they just haven't updated his home town

          I read on facebook that Kirkpatrick was a Nasa Engineer in Florida. If this is true, then all I can say is here he comes.

              I didn't know spaceship technology can be adapted over to a DLM. Is that like a 10 link suspension with 3 Clements...

                      Yep, nobody has mentioned him!

                      Trey's from my neck of the woods, and a pretty sharp shock builder!

                      We have worked on the same teams a couple of times.

                        Any chance you've got any epj/snow brothers car pics laying around? Wouldn't mind checking them out if available.
                        Theres one floating around FB of his original 1993 car that he hit the wall at GIS and destroyed it (our first shot at a Havatampa race)!

                        I wish there was some pics of the 1994 car that he finished 4th at GIS in our second Havatampa race!

                          I just noticed Kirkpatrick this year ZERO 25, ...........about 2 or 3 months ago we had a discussion on her about the looks of his car at a race I was at Cherokee. I thought his car looked different than all the rest. Then, when it was said he built the car his self, it all made sense to me. Good for someone doing something on their own. How cool is that.

                              Yep, he 's a pretty good dude.

                              Even though his family is well off, they havent spoiled him and made him earn his way!
