A Taste of the Pro's! Matt Field Makes Top 32 @ FormulaD Vegas


Congrats to Matt Field for making it into the Top 32. His car received some new upgrades to the roll cage, alignment settings, engine upgrades and more BlackTrax dynotuning. Making another 60+hp over his last setup at Seattle, the "big wing" S13 initiated and held the drift with ease at Vegas. This was the first time the rookie had a taste of drifting against the pro's. Unfortunately, his spotlight was cut short during the first round vs. Darren McNamara. Regardless, not too shabby for making top 32 by his 2nd event! Look forward to seeing Matt Field represent the Bay at Round 6 "Point of Impact" @ Infineon Raceway, Sonoma, Sept 10-11. Also check out this sweet vid created by Shawn Browne.

Owen's S2000 Track Car

You may have seen this car at some of the NorCal NASA events, S2000 Challenge or Redline Time Attacks. Owen Guo from Ren Motorsports and driver of this AP1 recently swapped in the larger 2.2L engine for 2010 season. We had the opportunity to tune his car using AEM EMS, extracting 230 whp out of the stock F22C. Good luck this season Owen!

Check out his recent feature on the The Octane Report.

In the meantime check out Mark's in car on Sunday piloting the Redstone EG 1.0, Liam Downey's H2 car. Sunday podium finishers was Mike Lock, Graham Downey and Mark Downey 1-2-3.
