AST Suspension – USA

AST drivers showed ‘em how its done this weekend in New Jersey.  Cameron Benner was 0.9s off first place in his Cobb Tuning STI.  Not bad for his first time at the track.  This car will be dialed in for Vegas.  Trey Cobb and his 370Z came out strong as well.  We spent some time working on spring rates and valving on the shocks and Trey finished less than a second out of the podium.  Not too shabby on the OEM street tires!

Turn In Concepts, definitely the underdogs in Modified AWD class (competing against the Cobb GTR), put up a valiant effort all weekend.  In Time Attack sessions, Tony W. was only 1.8s off the monster GTR in a STI with AST 4100s.  GTR driver, Brian Lock, and Tony W. put on a GREAT show for the Super Session.  The crowd went wild when Tony was able to keep up with Brian.  Great job by all the teams and the Cobb GTR for putting together a great win and show.

We are currently ramping up inventory on these models.  Call your dealer for more information!

Evo X, Solo2

Check out the video of Chris Fleming’s Evo X MR. This car makes 400 whp. Chris finished 2nd at the National Tour on R888. Not exactly Hoosier A6 grip, but the video looks good. Great view of the suspension moving through its travel

Congrats to our drivers at the SCCA National Tour last weekend held in Mineral Wells, TX.  Jeremy Foley driving a C6 ZO6 took it to Super Stock with a 2.5s overall win for the weekend.  Mark Madarash recently added AST 4100s to his E Street Prepared Firebird to keep his winning streak continuing.  As a testimony to how well they did, Mark and Jeremy placed 1st and 2nd in PAX for the weekend.  When karts and F Mod cars are present, that really says something to have two heavy cars take 1st and 2nd in PAX.  Awesome job!

In 10 classes, AST cars took first or second place and sometimes both!  Way to go drivers!

AST Suspension – USA is sponsoring World Challenge this season with aggressive contingency offers for the drivers in all classes.

One team in particular has jumped in head first with AST and World Challenge.  Hondaworks made its debut at the St. Pete race.  While their main car is not ready to race, Hondaworks brought their well sorted Honda Civic to the race.  The results were spectacular!  The race will be broadcast on VS. April 18th.  Make sure you set your recorder for the 2nd race where Hondaworks driver, Kevin Helms, “hole shot” the big boys going into Turn 1.  He held off the pros for several laps before they were able to get by him.  Kevin’s Civic started out life as a $400 car so to run with the Acuras from RealTime is quite an accomplishment.  Great job Hondaworks!  Look for these guys to be a contender as the season heats up.
