AST Suspension – USA

While I was at AST in The Netherlands this week I shot a short video of the new air jack with elephant’s foot.  While a normal air jack lifts the car enough to change tires during fast pit stops, the elephant’s foot allows the race car to be raised even higher for major work. No more floor jacks, simply extend the air jacks, lock them into the elephant’s foot, extend the air jack again and place the safety stand in place!

Piet and Ronnie Kreeft from AST Holland will be in town later this month so we decided to host a track day. This gives AST Holland a chance to ride in cars with AST suspension here in the States. While we’re there we’ll be revalving shocks for customer cars if required. If you can’t drive, stop by the track to meet the guys. It should be a great day!

* Monday, November 30th.
* Track opens for lapping at 9:00AM. We’ll be there by 8:00AM to setup.
* Bring tools! If we end up revalving your shocks, you’ll have to remove them with tools required for your vehicle.
* Cost: $175
* Bring your own drinks. ECR will not have any food or beverages. I’ll bring coffee and donuts. Decatur is 20 minutes away if you want food for lunch.
* We’ll run till we drop. Probably 4-5:00 PM.
* There are no run groups! All day is your run group. Think about it, if all the cars were on track together, they’d be 1/8 mile apart.
* You must have on-track experience. There will not be any instructors.
* Bring plenty of brakes. ECR is brake intensive.

This event is open to any with or without AST shocks. Think of it as a chance to drive (your own) and ride in cars with AST shocks. Should be a great time.

We get many questions about shock dynos so we shot this video to show some of the basics.  As we get time we’ll expand this to show more information about what you are actually looking at on a dyno plot.
