I can see why they only used the initial for his last name on the car. :)
I'm pretty sure he's still running Tamiya cars based on the pictures.

I am still in a shock . Why he signed to Peak ? Reedy Kr and Reedy GP3300 X-Cells will be very successfull in 2003 . Why he left Reedy Modifieds ?

I seriously doubt it's $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, since Peak only has $$$$ (which it borrows from it's mother company, Orion). I guess he has Atsushi Hara syndrome. A person goes from being just an average sponsored driver to a TC world champ, then gets a signature car. Then they decide to dump the company that supported them on their way to the top and move to a team with no world champs under their belt. If you think about it really hard, it's easy to understand the logic behind it. ( I just personally don't give a flip who moves to what team, so thinking about it never really popped up on my agenda ^_^)

I asked to a official ( I can not give a name ) at Team Associated . Also he confirmed that Surikarn left because of money . In addition , there are some other reasons behind that sign .

You do realize that fitting his entire last name would be next to impossible, dont you?
