ALL SECRETS REVEALED FOLLOWING BIGLEN ANNOUNCEMENT

Miami, FL – Two weeks ago today, at this year’s SEMA Show, in Las Vegas, the mystery surrounding the new BigLen ride came to an end.  As all was said and the arresting drape removed, the facts became evident:  A 3rd Generation Mitsubishi Eclipse, Pro Rear Wheel Drive, 3.5L Twin Turbocharged V6… 

The new car incorporates a Jerry Bickel design 25.1D chassis, built by ROOMAN Motorsports, and topped by a sleek, stretched and pinched 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse body.  Providing the power will be the Mitsubishi 6G74 3.5L DOHC motor found in the Mitsubishi Montero.

Fellow competitors from all pro classes, including Jojo Callos, RJ de Vera, Gary Gardella, Jarrod Silvers, RJ Simrock, Lisa Kubo, Matt Scranton, Angela Proudfoot, together with the entire Bullish, Nuformz, AEM, & World Electronics teams, were on hand to show their support and find out if they would, indeed, meet Monserrat at the tree next season.  “It is a great feeling to have all my competitors and colleagues gathered here to show their support.  It means a great deal to me and I thank you all…” said Monserrat.  He adds, “I also have to thank the entire staff at Modified Mag for preparing and building up the whole event.  They did an outstanding job, which led to the amazing turnout we achieved.” 
    
The anxious, standing-room-only, industry crowd was treated to additional surprises, as Len Monserrat announced the introduction of MBNA Motorsports, a division of MBNA America, into the Sport Compact Drag Racing World.  Roman Serra, of BigLen Engineering, had this to say, “We would like to give special thanks to Phil Elfstrom and Leonard Entel, of MBNA Motorsports, for allowing us to lead the way in their sport compact debut.  We look forward to a great 2003 season.”  Furthermore, the newly revealed drag car spawned another hot topic by showcasing an all-new, spindle mount drag wheel by German wheel maker BBS Wheels.

American Products Company (APC) and Warranty Gold, both newcomers to the team, will join Dynamic Turbo, back as an associate sponsor for their fourth consecutive season.  “We’re proud to be associated with Len’s program, as he has continuously proven his professionalism both on and off the track.  He is a great spokesperson and we look forward to the 2003 season,” comments Travis White of APC.

Team BigLen plans to tour events at all major sanctioning bodies (NDRA, NHRA, & IDRC) and attend all major industry shows, such as the Super Street Spring Break Tuner Bash, SEMA International Auto Salon, and NOPI Supershow.  As always, the team will support and make appearances for the Racers Against Street Racing (RASR) program.
