This car is yet another example/tribute/testimony to what a safely optimized car can accomplish when put in the hands of the tuners at AMS! Thanks again Chris. I haven't been been on the dyno since the summer of 2008! I'm planning to come in over the winter for a touch-up and possibly a switch to E85; still trying to decide what to do.

Also was invited to participate in the GRM Ultimate Track Car Challenge. Altogether is was a 2300 mile solo trek to VIR and back that claimed my 2004 Nissan Titan along the way! For all my trouble I got a spot in the Nov/2010 issue of GrassRoots Motorsports (below). I also took 2/7 on Sat & Sun with NASA Mid-Atlantic and had a ball learning the high-speed VIR!

2011...
Planning is well underway. Focus looks to be building the car for NASA Nationals which move back to Mid-Ohio. No plans to cage it and race it w2w as of yet. Planning all new suspension, pull a little more weight out of the car and redistribute ballast as needed. Planning to figure out why I've been down on power all year as well. Planning to annihilate every track record I can!

Background on the car
Car was purchased new in Spring of 2006. It's been AMS Tuned since before it's first lap on track. I've ran a few different configs as it started as a pure street car then moved into a double-duty DD/HPDE car, then to a weekend warrior. Now it's basically track-only and gets escorted to events on a trailer! It's got about 25k on the clock now.

 

Congrats on an awesome season!

 

Nathan-

Congrats and i really admire your dedication to the sport and to your sponsors, you have made us proud sir

 

Thanks guys. It's so awesome to not have to worry about the engine and whatnot. Everyone else is always wondering if their tune is safe or watching AFR's while they're driving or trying to diagnose this or that.

I just watch temps and the rpm gauge and hammer it!

 

Awesome job Nathan!

 

Great job!

 

Congrats! What width tire do you run?

 

In TTB trim all I have points for are 245 Hooiser R6's.

In TTA or S trim I've got more pts. I've ran the same 245 R6's, 255 R6's and 255 A6's. I've got 2 sets of rims so I bring 2 different setups with me and try to balance out the heat-cycles as best I can.

All the info on my setup is in my blog. Here's a direct link: http://boomn29.blogspot.com/p/car-setup.html
