From driver Richard Cooper: "I have competed in a ton of indoor go-karting races including the 2010 indoor karting world championships in Phoenix at f1 raceway. I made the first round of qualifying for the red bull kart fight in 2012 at k1 raceway. I did my first autocross at Subiefest 2012 and took 19th out of 42, then I went to DirtFish Rally school and did their 3 day course in May 2012. I completed my first rallycross at Ridgecrest rallyschool/rallycross race in Feb 2013 and took 4th out of 19 in stock awd class, then I started the Glen Helen rallycross series in march. I won the season opener in prep awd, and in rounds 2 and 3 for glen helen in May I took 3rd and 2nd, respectively. Then, at the South Pacific SCCA National Rallycross Challenge I took 3rd in prep awd. I'm still waiting on official results from Saturday, July 13, 2013 but I think I took 8th out of 27."
Richard's car is a basically stock Subaru 2002 WRX with a Cobb Accessport and FSR's dyno proven Cobb Protune. Richard is very pleased with the tune and the increased power he gained throughout the powerband. He even noted, "the car is so much faster now after the tune, it feels like i have to relearn the car all over again"

FSR headed out to Coalinga, CA this last weekend to join some friends at the always exciting Shift S3ctor event. We felt right at home with several turbo Supra's and Turbocharged E46 M3's both in attendance and racing. As usual, the GTR's were there in force and dominating much of the racing. There were also several extremely fast Porsche turbos, a smattering of WW2 era sounding AMG machinery, and a variety of boosted N54 E9x cars. The turbo BMW's held there own against stiff competition with Kenton's red car laying down several 170mph + pulls with his fantastic driving and awesome new Radium powered fuel system. Jason was also making headway all weekend with his crazy 1000 hp widebody car getting faster every run! We were also able to show the guys the latest iteration of our E46 M3 turbo kit featuring flex fuel, traction control, on the fly map switching and true closed loop VANOS control. Look for more updates on that car this week! All in all it was a great weekend and we can't wait for the next one!
Race Blog: Team NTN-FSR Takes 1st Place in 2012 Speed Ventures CC9
Created on Thursday, 03 January 2013 18:16Team: No Turbos Needed (“NTN”) with FSR Motorsports (“FSR”) placed 1st in the 2012 Speed Ventures Time Trial (“SVTT”)- CC9 Class.
The year started off rocky when Speed Ventures made drastic changes to their time trial program for 2012. NTN was caught off-guard with the changes and missed the first two rounds at Buttonwillow Raceway and Willow Springs International. “We were totally caught off surprise with the changes, said NTN’s Driver, Sheldon Chan. “Normally, Speed Ventures would have time trial rule sets mirroring Redline Time Attack. However, this year they totally changed the rules to mirror NASA’s time trial program.” Fortunately, NTN’s Naturally Aspirated 1994 Supra has been in development the past six years for NASA’s Time Trial E Class. A few changes were needed to enter into Speed Ventures CC9 class, but a lot was left on the table for taking advantage of the rule set. “We should be able to get by 2012 even not taking full advantage of the rules due to first year growing pains for any time trial program,” said Chan.

Last month we headed out to Coalinga to race at the Shift S3ctor Airstrip attack event. We brought our turbo M3 as well as a client's Toyota Supra with our Cast manifold turbo kit sporting 900whp. It was an absolutely fantastic event and we had a great time helping out where we could and also meeting some new faces in both the Supra and M3 world. A variety of cars showed, with there being a substantial contingent of turbo E46 M3's, E92's and 1 series, a few Supras, blown vettes, Turbo Ford GT's, a UGR TT Lambo, and lots of turbo Porsche's.

It was put together by Celso Nimo and Vu Pham, and they sure did a fantastic job of it. If you're interested in getting out and racing on the track, shoot us an email and we'll help you get going!
