Earlier this month, AMS sponsored driver, Dave Kern took home 1st place in the Unlimited AWD class at the 2012 Superlap Battle/Global Time Attack event with a 1:49.804. Entry into this event was a last minute decision on his part. It was also off the radar for most since Dave and his wife Allison are highly regarded as venerable hill climb competitors more accustomed to driving at higher elevations on both gravel and tarmac roads. In their other events, you would see the two flying up a dangerous mountainside together, but Dave flew solo this time in his first attempt around Buttonwillow Raceway. In fact, this was his first shot at a time attack competition in the EVO that didn’t involve hill climb!

We wanted to congratulate our dealer Tensai Tuning and their customer Ahli out of Abu Dhabi / UAE for running quite an impressive time this past weekend at the MEGTROC and GTZ Charity Drag Event.

The car was built and tuned by local AMS Dealer Tensai Tuning to a very conservative 860whp/800tq on their very low reading mustang Dyno. From what we know of this dyno it would be roughly 950-975whp on our Dynojet.

Despite some fairly poor track conditions Ahli was able to go out and run two back to back 9.80@247.96kph (153.7mph) passes. Making him currently the quickest R35 GT-R in the UAE.

Congratulations to Ahli and Tensai tuning for the great run and we are sure with better conditions an even quicker and faster time is right around the corner!

“I just want to thank AMS for all the support that helped us win our second straight SCCA T2 National Championship!!. The car ran perfectly all week and allowed our heavily restricted Evo to battle toe to toe with the 2011 5 liter Ford sponsored Mustang GT driven by Grand am cup Pro Andrew Aquilante and the Nissan sponsored 370Z driven by World Challenge Pro Tony Rivera as well as many others.  With a slightly damp track and clouds looming, we chose to go out on rain tires where most of the front runners went out on dries. Once the track dried up we slipped back a few places until the rain finally hit as we had planned. The advantage swung back in our favor and we were able to get back to the lead and the win.”

Saturday:

After nearly 600 miles 10.5 hrs of driving on Friday (to Ohio via Chicago)…
Sat warmup was pretty early! I did very little to prep the car, having not even started it since I left Mid Ohio in July! After unpacking it, I adjusted the tire temps a little, slapped on the camera and that’s about it! I ran about 6 laps, each a little quicker than the last and qualified with a 1:35.0 – which was nearly as fast as I went in July; so I was excited. I was sitting 9th in grid and 2nd in class; squeezed tightly by 2 C5 Vettes. Read more…
