Wreck Racing<\/a> is a student run automotive club at Georgia Tech that enters the Grassroots Motorsports Challenge<\/a> every year. Each year since 2012 they have entered a 1969 MG Midget powered by a 2JZ. The MG runs a GM TH350 automatic transmission, Ford 8.8 diff, Miata front suspension and custom three-link rear suspension. In 2013 they added a turbo and custom ice-water intercooler which helps significantly lower inlet air temperature while running 12 psi of boost. At the 2014 Grassroots Motorsports Challenge they took 5th overall, 3rd in concourse, and the Editor’s Choice. <\/p>\n
