NayKid Racing Announces Lux Performance Group To Oversee R&D Of Viper
Program

 

PUYALLUP, WASH., March 23, 2005 - Scotty B. White of NayKid Racing
announced today that Lux Performance Group, LLC would assist more in the
research, development and engineering branch of the race team for 2005
and beyond. 

 

Due to the highly competitive nature of motorsports, NayKid Racing saw
the opportunity to gain an advantage by increasing the team's
involvement with Lux Performance Group, LLC owners Fred and Cindi Lux.
Due to the recent tremendous growth of NayKid Racing, the engineering
and R&D experience of Lux Performance will prove a vital link to the
team's future growth.  Fred Lux is considered one of racing's most
revered mechanical minds and will assist with the R&D program for NayKid
as they debut their Dodge Viper SRT-10s in the Sports Car Club of
America (SCCA) T1 class this season.

 

Fred Lux assisted in the preparation and engineering of NayKid Racing's
entries for the past two seasons. Lux Performance's increased role
within the team will move the organization towards a more full service
"shop" for internal efforts as well as NayKid's growing list of customer
efforts. The move also allows White, recognized for his ability to setup
racecars, to focus more on that aspect of NayKid Racing as well as
driving. 

 

White will pilot the No. 3 KUMHO Tire/ Mopar Performance Parts/ Dodge
Motorsports Dodge Viper SRT-10 while Cindi Lux (Aloha, Ore.) will wheel
the matching No. 78 in 13 races around the country. Lux led the team to
its first win with the Viper on a double race weekend at Thunderhill
Raceway in California on March 19 - 20. White took the second NayKid
Viper victory in race-two. The two drivers also split the pole positions
for the weekend.

 

Fred Lux and the entire NayKid Racing crew will have their work cut-out
for them to better the results the team has obtained in recent years.
During the 12 race 2004 season, NayKid won 11 times and, across three
entries, never suffered a single mechanical failure that sidelined the
cars for any part of a practice, qualifying or race session. In large
part because of that success, the Oregon Region of the SCCA presented
Fred Lux the inaugural "Oregon Region Crew Chief Award" in December. 

 

From 1986-'92, Fred Lux headed the Mitsubishi factory efforts in
multiple, professional road racing street-stock series, winning several
championships. Mitsubishi also called on their North American expert to
oversee victories at Baja and in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. Beyond
motorsports, Fred Lux, who is considered not only a mechanical but
electronics genius, has worked with Boyd Coddington create special
project cars for Mitsubishi. He also owns II-Tracker, a robotics company
that designs, develops and builds unmanned robots for military and
police use.

 

Quotes:

Fred Lux: "I just enjoy building and developing race cars.  Scotty and
Cindi do all the business stuff together which I don't care for. That is
why this arrangement works so well for everybody. I was pleased with the
initial performance of the Vipers at Thunderhill. The SCCA is
considering a few rule changes that will help us as well. There are a
lot of challenges in this project and that is what I am most excited
about."    

 

Scotty B. White: "It only makes sense. Fred is the nuts and bolts of our
success here and he makes the drivers' jobs look easy. I'm glad we
finally dragged him into the limelight. This is a great step forward for
everyone."
