I know its not a Subaru but its a local Driver. I was able to meet up with Ryan Gates at a Redline Time Attack event being held at Autobahn Country Club this past weekend. Ryan Gates Secures Overall Modified Class Victory, with a best lap time of 1:30.781!! A Fantastic Time Out of the AMS prepared EVO X....Great job! Here's a preview video I quickly through together....Please check it out! AMS+Evo+X+Redline+Time+Attack+preview Pic of me shooting video at the event. Redline Time Attack preview VIDEO (JSH FIMLS) You may have seen his car on the cover Modified Magazine (July'09 Issue)
Very Cool, It must have been fun to be there! Now it time to edit all that tape and make a cool video, i like the preview. I use to do alot of video back in the day with some MX,snowmobile,skating, & bmx fun times and getting in the right spot makes all the difference in what the viewer gets to experience.
Typo on the front cover...I believe the car is around 2700lbs. It's say the correct weight inside the mag.
I always wanted to run the Autobahn CC. I lived so close to it and never got the chance. Pretty cool though!
RallyRacer I didn't know that you made it out there too, bro! It would been nice to have known that we could of hung out a little. Mt. Fuji and a friend from Sheboygan, WI and myself were out there as well sweat'n it out in the IL sun. Boy did we get toasty and crispy. I was hoping more pro competitors would have shown up, but I'm happy that we came and got to meet some of the pro's that did come. Tazan Yomata and Scott Bush were my two favorites. We were able to participate with a few teams there assisting them where needed. Mt Fuji got to help push the BC Racing 350Z at stage and I got to poor some C118 during refueling while doing a Nascar pit stop switching from street to slick tires since BC was competing in two classes. Nice video by the way, I'm sure I saw you out there we just never have met. Mt Fuji took a ton of pictures and will likely be posting what his experience was like much later.
That is Chris Rado's Scion TC. He is the Fastest Modified FWD class car ever. He is almost running AMS EVO 8/X times with that FWD talon. He is also the driver for their drag car. I will be with all these guys in Nashville in a few weeks for my time attack event (S-AWD Class) then again in SC and NJ. One of our customers (Mike E.) painted the front and doors of that car (They are all originally carbon.
wow and congratulations Adam. it would be really nice to see another local representative participate in this event. there is a lot of time and money invested when planning to compete at these events. I am interested in hearing more about the team the cars setup and what your plans are for the event considering it will be your first.it was a good learning experience for us as well going to too this event. well best of luck out there and don't forget to keep us updated as you boys triumph of the competition.
I'm trying to find a USB cable for my Canon XT. *sigh* however Chong gave a few tips to one driver driving a S2000 and he was able to shave off a few seconds gettin him into the 1:39.xxx taking his class I believe. Great tips!!! Chong and I was watching cars come into turn 1 and we saw who took the best line and who didn't. The other S2000 guy was able to shave some seconds off with a little coaching as well. It's amazing what Chong can do. It's as if he won something already just seeing the drivers improve their lap time!!!! I'll get the pics up ONCE I get a USB cord.
Thanks mt. Fuji! It was my first time at this track and though I didn't get a chance to drive it, I did bring my helmet and managed to find two strangers in two different Honda S2K a Amuze and J's Racing who were very happy to give me a ride around the track on one of their practice sessions on Saturday. I wish I had brought my GoPro cam I could of captured the contrast between the two different driving styles. After each ride I was able to offer some suggestions. They took the info well and started improving their times; at the finals one improved by 3 seconds taking home second place he was from TX and the other improved 2 seconds taking first in the street tire class, he was from KY and was with in reach of the track record for this class. All in all it was really nice to be part of their teams for the weekend as I am a terrible specator. They both have huge sponsorships, which is more than me. LOL The guy from KY will be joining the Playboy Race team next season. His car was trailored in a fully enclosed box pulled by a nice ice cold RV with his sponsor Injected Performance known for their success in drag racing. http://www.redlinetimeattack.com/Article/Details/33 Buddy Club Street Class RWD: 1st Aaron Leichty 1:39.746 Injected Performance Honda S2000 2nd John Nguyen 1:42.103 Honda S2000
Yeah, its to bad we didn't get to meet up. I it would have been nice to know a few more people. My ass was sweating like crazy all weekend but that what I get for wearing jeans. I meet Tarzan and talk with him and his crew for good while. He has an interpreter to help him out because he really only speaks Japanese. Thanks for the complement on the video. I have a ton of footage but just haven't gotten around to editing the rest of it. What car was your friend driving? - Im sure I some video of it.
I saw you... you where just some stranger... lolz I was wearing my BLACK Subaru STI beanie walking about with my little self.
Here are the videos that I took with my Cell Phone... LG DARE [youtube]EsetDcHQn38[/youtube] [youtube]s8pGCS-8Y_0[/youtube] [youtube]eyi8rpXwAYc[/youtube] [youtube]QOq1Ym6XfuM[/youtube]
Here's some footage I took of the shootout they had at the end of the day on Sunday. Time+Attack+Autobahn+shootout.
Awsome video, but nothing beats being there in person experiencing it for yourself! Thnx Now that you put it that way, I guess we did meet! LOL Well I don't know how much photography you do but we can always use someone like yourself at our events.
I just finally getting more into the videography hobby Hey, I think we even have the same shoes :biggrin:
That's too funny, I guess we have some things in common. Ok, so we did make some eye contact in that I did see you with my shoes. LOL I knew I should of brought the red ones. Well videography is also another area we can use that is starting to be a big demand. I don't know how active you are or want to be but I'll pm you with some of my idea's if you're interested.
LOL Than here's your opportunity to improve and grow. Put it this way at least you're still affordable. A free lunch & drink perhaps should help cover your services. LOL JK
