The AMS Blue Demon EVO and The Silver Bullet EVO X recently headed out to the Monticello Motor Club for the Targa 66 Track day event. Started in 1991 by Brian Redman, Targa Sixty Six is a prestigious track day event series for owners of vintage and modern high performance and collector cars that do not necessarily wish to race them, but who like to drive at speed under controlled conditions. We’ve had a chance to attend a Targa Sixty Six event earlier this year at the Palm Beach International Raceway and it was an absolute blast!

The events are known to attract some of the rarest cars in the world and the recent event at Monticello was no different. Some of the cars in attendance included a Porsche 997 GT3, a few Ferrari F430 Scuderia, Radical SR3 and a very rare Porsche 962. A one off Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina also made an appearance in the pits! Needless to say it was quite nice seeing The Blue Demon hunting down some of the fastest and most expensive cars on the planet.

Here are some pics from the event:

Here are some quick update pics

We had to modify the door panels to fit the cage.

The pieces removed from the factory door panels

The newly crafted panel

To secure the new panel Ivo installed threaded receivers in the unused holes in the door.

Here is what finished product looks like – a quick and cost effective solution. We’re also going to powdercoat the panel black to have it blend in a little better.

Interior is pretty much wrapped up. Notice the fire extinguisher system control box mounted under the climate controls and the red spray nozzles on the sides of the center console.

The AMS EVO X Surge Tank system and the fire extinguisher nozzles.

And this is what the car looks like now. We’re still waiting for the front lip to come in…
