Los Angeles, CA --- Autocon took delivery of its new Creation CA06H at the American Airlines cargo facility inside LAX. Later in the day, the car was transported to the team shop where it will be prepped for a Monday test at Salt Lake City.

Team Quotes:

"We are all looking forward to the added grip from the bigger tires, the smoother application of power from the normally-aspirated engine, and an all-around more competitive drive from a more current chassis." -- Driver Chris McMurry

"There was a great deal of attention around the car at the cargo facility.  With all of the employees being union guys, they all quit working for about 90 minutes and stood around taking pictures of the car. In my next life I'm coming back as union employee...sweet gig!" -- VP/Business Development Michael Kramer

"Christmas has arrived early!" -- Crew Chief Joe Geldert

"I wasn't supposed to be a proud papa for a few more months," -- Owner/Driver Michael Lewis, referencing that he and his wife Peg are due with their second child this summer.
