Putnam Propulsion CW US Open Wheel Results

Well, the dust has settled on another Custom Works US Open Wheel Champs. This year, Team Putnam released both of our Electric cars in complete kit form, the "2008 Pro-Car" and the "2008 Pro-Terminator."

We also released the result of our "Skunkworks/Stealth/Area 51" R&D Project that we managed to keep secret and undercover for quite a while, our new "Putnam Pro-Nitro" car kit and Nitro Engine tuning and modifications by Shih-Hang Lee, aka "The General."

We are extremely pleased with the performance and results of our new kits, as our '08 Putnam Pro-Car TQ'd EDM Stock and our new Putnam Pro-Nitro car TQ'd Nitro EDM in its first race!

Special Thanks to the following 'Hidden Heroes' that play a HUGE role in our success:

-Melissa and Sydney, (aka: Millie and Slideways) The love, support and tolerance you provide is unparalleled. Thanks for putting up with the late nights, (early mornings) team guys sleeping on the floor, and me never having to worry if my bags are packed. You make our team a family, and we couldn't do any of this without you.

-Brent Redlin / Up Front Designs: You take my concepts and ideas and make them a reality, all without breaking a sweat. You truly are the best at what you do, and I'm proud to have you as part of our team and family. Oh, and thanks for assuming the role of Melissa in her absence and keeping me fat and watered-

-Dusty Kemp / Arizona Sport Shirts: You continue to amaze me with your artwork and creativity, but this time you outdid yourself. I can't tell you how many compliments we got on how killer our new shirts and the Pro-Nitro logo was... even from the guy that eats all of your Mom's cookies when visiting your Dad at work, who stated we had the best looking gear in R/C. You never get the credit you deserve, but should know there's none better. Oh, and I'd like to pre-order some Jayson Kemp TQ Midget gear right now...

-The General: Thankyou for providing our team with the fastest nitro engines at the USOW Champs, and all of your tireless efforts. Without you, our Nitro program would be nothing.

-Frank Tucker: Thanks for being the best crew chief in the business-and running my car through tech every time...

-Dan and Renee Gill / Atomic Signworks: You provided me with the most incredible bodies, decals and banners I have ever had, as well as showcasing our HP in stock and our Pro-Nitro car in EDM. Thankyou so much - Everyone was blown away by our stuff, and I can't count the compliments we rec'd. Oh, and I have a request for the phone number of the girl on my deck from a guy that was pitting down in the corner...

-Pete D'Agnolo: Thanks for showcasing the Pro-Nitro ride with a TQ in it's first race, and all the help off the track as well as on. You show everyone what we are really capable of, and for that I thank you pal-

-Sam, (aka the Highwinder) and the D'Agnolo family: Thank you for taking time out of your lives to support Pete, his racing and our team. The support you provide as a family is truly unbelievable - and one that I aspire to model my family after as well.

-Bret Lund: Thanks for coming right to the shop, picking up the tin, shooting it and dropping it back off-all in the 24 hours before we were to leave. You are a true friend, thanks.

-John Schulz, Ned Van, Kevin Ridley and Todd Moran: Thanks for your tireless efforts of packaging, assembling, counting and labeling products and parts in the weeks prior to the race. Without your help, we couldn't have been ready. Thankyou all so much-

-Jeff Greenly, Dave Greenly and Bob Williams: Thank you for signing on to run the Pro-Nitro car, making a road trip the weekend before the race to test, then wheeling it to a podium finish in the A-Main. The feedback and support you provide is awesome, I can't wait until the next race...

-Steve and Eric Salvas / TQ Cells: Thankyou for being to two greatest company representatives there are in R/C. We've been together for 10 years now, and that is pretty uncommon in this industry. The batteries and support that you supply to me, my team and all your customers with are second to none, and the results prove it. Your performance on and off track is remarkable, and I am looking forward to the next 10 years. Thank you for being great representatives and great friends.

-Jeff and Scott Hotaling: Thanks for choosing to run our Pro-Nitro whip, your on-track performance, and especially stepping up and helping out in the pits. Special thanks to Scott for keeping all the 'Putnam Inmates in Cell Block Fred' fed all week-

-Reggie and Solly: You two might not be the best looking raffle sellers in history, but I thank you for picking up the ball and running with it. Thanks for the continued support, laughs and especially the chair...



I want to send out a Big Thanks to the Rob, Arnie and the CW gang, Steve, Cam and the entire C&S Crew including the snack bar folks, Scotty, Jamie and the entire Trackside Crew, and Chad and the entire World of Hobby Crew for providing us with the largest annual oval event there is. Your efforts do not go unnoticed.

Also want to thank Mike Boylan for hosting the race on-line, especially so Sydney Slideways got to see her Dad's face a few times while I was away and so she could listen from home.

And last but not least, a Huge Thanks, a Toast and High Five to Smoke for rekindling the Dirt Oval flame as well as putting up the dunkets every year for this race.
You are our Champion every year, regardless of where you sit at the Waldorf- http://dirtoval.com/forums/images/smilies/thup.gifhttp://dirtoval.com/forums/images/smilies/trophy.gifhttp://dirtoval.com/forums/images/smilies/beer.gifhttp://dirtoval.com/forums/images/smilies/revs.gif

Where can someone see the nitro sprint kit? And who sells them?

"Putnam Pro-Nitro" car kit? Is it a sprint car? or just LM/EDM

We don't currently offer a Nitro Sprint kit. The Pro-Nitro car is an EDM or a Late Model-

where are the pics of these cars you have kits for?

Here are some pics of the new Putnam Pro-Nitro Car. The car incorporates our proprietary "Flex-Tech" Carbon Fiber, as well as a "Torque Arm" for adjusting/tuning the amount of rear flex. Check it out...
