The 2004 NHRA Stratus body features a custom Pro-Stock tube chassis built by Marc Poldino of Unorthodox Chassis & Fabrication. A Chrysler V-6 3.2 liter engine running on Methanol, with air flow provided by twin Garrett turbochargers, will handle the horsepower duties. Getting the power to the rear wheels will be the responsibility of a purpose built multi-speed planetary-style transmission designed and built by Pro-Trans in Lancaster, California.
Set to compete in the NHRA Pro-RWD and NDRA Pro-Compact Classes for 2005, we have assembled a winning team of professionals from several divisions of racing to achieve our goals. Each member of the team has specific areas of expertise allowing us to handle every aspect of the program anywhere and at any time.
Team Owner, A.J. Berge, will be handling the driving duties while Crew Chief, Jerry Staples, will coordinate all on car duties and personnel at the race track. Off track, Anastacia Berge will handle daily team operations and logistics.
Westbury Jeep/Chrysler/Dodge of Long Island, Chrysler Financial, Unorthodox Racing, Precision Turbo and Engine, and Mopar have provided support throughout our build helping us achieve our goals.
