Time Attacks |
| |
August 2009 in a field of over 35
tuned cars our G35 GT car takes 1st place in the
ASE Time Attack series round 3. |
| The car showed incredible power and speed
through back to back sessions with 2 drivers all
day long, some hairy handling issues but
surpassed none the less. |

How is the series shaping
up? |
| By: A.Slaney |
| Without pointing any
fingers or getting myself in trouble with the
series promoters, NOT VERY WELL. I have to say
it is discouraging after trying to map out a
full GT season to get news of must use fuels,
added surcharges for each race. The Series
promoters have put most of us in a position to
make alternative plans for racing. It seems that
with the late release of the schedule and it
being changed no less than 3 times, cancellation
of the first race and a diminished number of
drivers on the grid allot of us have decided to
pursue the Ontario Touring series, endurance
events and Time Attacks as means to help promote
OUR sponsors and get out there and race. |
 |
| Why are we going
to remap our cars to use a fuel that we have to
pay more for? the fuel supplier is not doing
anything to help us race! |
 |
| We work hard to go out
and build relationships with sponsors. How am I
going to tell my sponsor that he is taking
second bill to an advertiser that does nothing
for our team? If you are going to insist on us
using a certain tire to race with don't wait
until a week before the races to announce
pricing and availability of sizes, better yet
these races are televised and you have 20 cars
promoting the tire maker give us some damn tires
Meet us half way...... |

 |
| Most of us have had to rent a track, we know
what it costs to run these events and we are
aware that few work for free, the idea
behind a Championship Series is to promote the
Sponsors, manufacturers and teams. The
sponsors are there to provide the products to be
promoted and support the teams yet it seems like
the promoters are not paying it forward here. |

Looking into an alternative |
Anothershade is looking for help with researching a
conversion for the V6 and V8 Nissan engines. We
would like to be able to start green racing by
early 2010. It is already extremely costly for
us to race at this level so we are looking for
interested parties who would like to help
develop a efficient high powered Green motor for
us. |
