President - Kevin Kwiatkowski

I am a mechanical engineer, employed full time as a Project Engineer for a small consulting/engineering firm in Ann Arbor, MI. Through my day job, I have gained hands on experience in a wide variety of professional racing arenas including Nextel Cup, Craftsman Truck, Grand Am (Daytona Prototype), American Le Mans (GTS class), NHRA Powerade (Pro Stock and Funny Car), SCCA Club Racing (GT2 and F-Prod), and the now defunct North -American Super Touring Car Series. My normal duties include chassis and part analysis, design and development. In all these applications lighter weight, more efficient parts with absolutely zero failure rate are the only acceptable outcome.

Outside of work, developing my drag race car consumes most of my time. I run a 1991 front wheel drive Plymouth Laser turbo. I usually run the car at local test sessions and races as well as a few NOPI Motorsports events in the Hot Rod class. This project poses some interesting engineering challenges and keeps my gears turning. With a few pieces to the puzzle falling into place, hopefully some low-8’s will happen in 2008.

Every item Kiggly Racing sells was designed for, analyzed for, and tested on this drag racing project.

On a personal note, I’m not alone in this whole mess. My wife, Erin, is a major influence on my racing program. She runs the business side of things and keeps us organized. She is my crew at racing events and sometimes the only thing that keeps my head on straight when things get overwhelming.

Effective 10/25/07, we have a new crew member, Tyler. You will probably find him picking rocks off the tires later this season as he approaches a year old!
