David Summerbell and AMS TA1 Sweep the second race of The Caribbean Motor Racing Championship. 3 Races, 3 Wins and a new track record



This Memorial Day weekend was the second race of the Caribbean Motor Racing Championship (CMRC) at Dover Raceway in Jamaica. David Summerbell and AMS TA1 had a very successful weekend breaking the track record in qualifying in addition to breaking the during race lap record three times. Here is a quick run-down of the weekend’s events:



Qualifying:
In qualifying on Sunday David and AMS TA1 set a new track lap record of 1.18.47. This beating the existing record which was also held by David and TA1 by nearly half a second.

Race 1:
Monday in the first race David started on pole and ran away with the win, finishing well ahead of Stuart Maloney in a Evo 6 (white and pink) who is currently the biggest competition and the reigning CMRC champion. David also set a new during race track lap record with a 1.19.7 lap time.

Race 2:
In the second race David reset the track during race lap record with a 1.19.3 and again took the overall win.

Race 3:
A couple hours later in race 3 David made it a clean sweep and took the overall win yet again as well as resetting the during race track record with a time of 1.19.0.

We sold AMS TA1 to David in May of 2008. Since then he has made 9 First Place finishes and broken and re-broken lap records at multiple tracks. Since we sold the car to David the only change made was a new Shepherd Racing transfer case. The AMS TA1 EVO 8 is now on its 4th straight season on the original AMS 2.3 Stroker Motor. This weekend marks 29 total Victories for TA1 since its debut in 2006.

Congratulations to David Summerbell and crew for an outstanding performance! We could not have found a better Team to carry on the winning legacy of the AMS TA1 EVO 8.

Congrats to David Summerbell and TA-1 and of course AMS.

Can't wait to see what it'll do in Guyana later this year. I keep telling people Stuart Maloney's car can't beat TA-1, which currently holds the lap record in Guyana as well.

 

way to go
evo ftw

 

God I love that car.

Awesome to here that its still kicking ***!

 

Congrats! I am really glad the car is being used to its potential.

 

this car makes people sick when they see it unless you have a evo then you just smile

 

4 seasons of competitive racing on the same engine....that is just SICK!

congrats that bad@$$

 

There is something hanging off the front lip. Is that an adjusting arm for the front lip?

 

broken splitter rod to hold the splitter to bumper...me thinks. Congrats to David for breaking records and winning races and AMS for building a badass indestructible car...minus the splitter rod.

 

haha yeah Dover is a ROUGH track and it takes a beating on cars. that I am sure is the splitter rod that came loose.

Congrats! I just got back from Jamaica ... unfortunately I wasn't in a position to watch the race, but I did see TA-1 in a commercial for the weekend races.

Very cool. When are we gonna here from David though? I'd like to get his thoughts on TA-1 since he picked it up. Or did he already do that in the last TA-1 racing update that you guys (AMS) posted here. I read it, just can't remember.
