We do not condone the use of pipe wrenches on race cars...

GWR's new reserve tank assembly is finally done, and the first run parts are sold and shipping out to customers! Second run already started. This system allows you to pit on the absolute last lap before you would run out of fuel on the track, and complete every one of those laps under full power.

The GWR Reserve tank replaces your surge tank, and like a normal surge, prevents starvation due to fuel slosh. The difference is that our reserve tank has a second chamber inside that only becomes active when the driver flips a switch. This takes the guess work out of estimating fuel range by allowing you to run your main fuel tank or cell completely dry, then flip a switch and have just enough fuel to get back to the pit stall under full power. Additionally, there are two level sensors in the surge chamber to warn the driver that he'll soon be running on reserve, or confirm that the "weird stutter" is just the car running out of gas and it's time to activate the reserve and pit in.

Total capacity is 0.5 gallons, and the tank is confirmed legal with Champcar Endurance Series. Also appropriate for WRL, AER, or any series where maximizing fuel range is critical.

On cars with an appropriate twin-lift system, the surge side is effective enough that there is less than a mile between first stutter and stopped on track. However, there's another quart of fuel in reserve, so no getting towed in. There's also an early warning so that you can tell your crew to get suited up, and a "last chance" warning to give you a little extra margin on long tracks like Road America.

Drop a comment or send us a message if you're interested in one of the second-run tanks! They'll be ready just in time for spring shake-downs.

We finished at VIR, but is was a rough race. Crashed in practice, ran out of gas on track due to a wiring problem on the reserve pump (after it worked flawlessly on Friday), and then blew a diff. Got back on track each time, but only managed to finish around 23rd. And then the truck popped a boost hose on the way home.

Car was fast, everybody got to drive, and we all got to experience finishing a 24hr with the best group of racers on the planet.

Huge congratulations to Chris Huggins and Pinkies Out on their win, and thanks for loaning is a wheel bearing when our spare turned out to be trash. Also thanks to ChampCar Endurance Series for putting on a great event, ChillOut Systems for keeping us cool all weekend, and RACEBAR for the awesome pulled pork dinner and party Friday night.

Under 2 months until we're racing again at Pittsburgh International Race Complex.

We're racing, 24 hours straight. Watch it here

TireRack.com ChampCar Endurance Series® Lifeline 24hour Classic at VIR 2019 Part 1 ChampCar Endurance Series is for people like you that have always wanted to go road racing without all the hassles, huge rulebook, or obscene expense. All yo...

Prototype version of GWR's new reserve-surge system proof tested, mounted in the car, and ready to go race at VIR with ! This surge tank has level sensing and an integrated reserve chamber so that we can suck the tank dry, turn on the reserve, and know we have just enough to get back to the pits. Want one? We built extras- message us for deets!

Says "ultra endurance" and "hard racing" on the jug. Sounds like a description of the 24 Hours of VIR. We're going to be putting high octane in the car AND the drivers. :)

GWR didn't go to Indy this year, but long-time GWR driver Denny Barker raced with our friends at Crank Yankers Racing and took home 2nd! Huge congrats to Denny, Tyler Pedersen, and the whole Crank Yankers team!
