Team AMS/NOS Energy Drink Wins The Redline Time Attack Unlimited AWD Championship!!!


November 15, 2009
Auto Club Speedway, CA

The AMS NOS Energy Drink Time Attack EVO X rose from the ashes for the Redline Time Attack Finals, literally. Only a few days before the event the car was involved in a fiery mishap that burnt the engine bay and did some serious damage. A high pressure power steering line ruptured and sprayed the hot exhaust manifold with fluid causing a small fire.

The team assessed the damage and spent two days working almost around the clock at the World Motorsports facility in Torrance,California to bring the car back online. With military like precision the team repaired every critical system on the car, from electrical systems to hydraulic, oiling, and even suspension components. Bryan Hise from JRZ disappeared with a front shock only to be back an hour later with a rebuilt and repaired remote reservoir and line. “Thanks to a huge effort from our crew of Justin, Ivan, and Rich, Bryan from JRZ and the generosity of Chris Rado allowing us to utilize his facilities we were able to pull off a miracle.” said team owner Martin Musial

The team rolled up Friday night to the Auto Club Speedway with everyone surprised that the car was back in running condition. Saturday consisted of practice session to give the teams time to adjust their chassis, aero, and engine tune for the high speed track. Auto Club speedway is a fast track that favors cars with high horsepower. Team AMS NOS Energy Drink knew they had the power to come out on top. With about 800 horsepower the prediction was that the car would reach top speeds of over 180mph! Saturday practice went well with the team posting one of the fastest times of the day.



Sunday was race day and the team went out during the first session on fresh BFG slicks to give them the advantage of stickier tires and ramped up the boost for more power. Driver, Paul Gerrard, laid down an ultra fast 1:36.23 time that was 2 seconds faster than the next competitor and a new track record for Redline Time Attack. A data check after the run showed a top speed of 188 mph on the track! This time was to be the quickest for the Unlimited AWD class for the day, securing team AMS/NOS Energy Drink a first place finish and locking in the 2009 Unlimited AWD Championship.

The 2009 racing season proved to be very successful for team AMS/NOS Energy Drink. What started out as a brand new car with no development time, turned into a race winning machine bringing home 5 first place finishes and the coveted 2009 Redline Time Attack Unlimited AWD Championship. “Thanks to all of our sponsors and huge fan base, this has been a wonderful year, let’s win it again in 2010!” exclaimed Musial

Redline Time Attack is going under major improvement for the 2010 season with veteran race director Jackson Stewart joining the team. Wider media coverage and a professional approach to the organization promise all our marketing partners and fans a better and bigger season.

AMS would like to take time out to thank our generous sponsors whom without their support TA-X would not be possible:

AMS PERFORMANCE SUPERLAP BATTLE
RACE REPORT

November 11, 2009
Buttonwillow Raceway, CA

After attending last week's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, AMS Performance and the AMS/NOS Energy Drink Time Attack EVO X made its way further west to the Superlap Battle Finals at Buttonwillow Raceway.

A number of mishaps early on prevented the team from completing a strong finish at the event. During the practice session, the car experienced a power steering failure. The team scrambled to fix the problem before the race. Luckily Mike from Etnies Shoes allowed the team to borrow the hard power steering line needed from his personal EVO X.

With the AMS/NOS Energy Drink EVO X back up and running driver Paul Gerrard managed to complete the first session of the Superlap Battle Finals with a time of 1:46.829. During that session another power steering line burst causing a fire in the engine bay. The fire suppression system on the AMS/NOS Energy car extinguished most of the fire, but some was still evident near the undercarriage where the nozzles couldn't reach.

Paul managed to get to the Marshall station where he quickly got out of the car, ran to the booth to get their fire extinguisher. As he pulled the trigger he realized their extinguisher was empty! The team looked on helplessly looking on as smoke billowed from the car waiting for the track’s emergency crew to extinguish the fire.

When the car got back to the pits the AMS/NOS Energy Drink Team was relieved to see the damage was not as bad as they thought. After assessing the damage Chris Rado of World Racing (Driver of the dual winged Scion) offered his shop and resources to get the car back up and running for the Redline Time Attack Finals just days away. The team packed up and followed Chris back to his headquarters and the wrenches were flying late into the night and the next day. Thank goodness for plenty of NOS Energy Drink on hand!

With the generous help of Chris Rado and Rob at World Racing and Team sponsor Mitsubishi North America the car is back up and running and ready to compete in this weekends Redline Time Attack. Although the aero work is damaged and cannot be used the team is hoping to make a podium finish and claim the title of Unlimited AWD Champion of 2009.


The AMS/NOS Energy Drink team would like to give a special thanks to:

Leaning into the throttle will not clear it up. It will continue in subie mode... until I let off the gas...I can slowly or quickly get back on the gas and the problem is gone... 4 cyls as usual.

All this occurs UNDER 1/4 THROTTLE!!!!! NO WOT ISSUES AT ALL!!!!
It pulls clean and hard if you mat it.

I have changed plugs (.024 gap)
Swapped out coils and wires
Air intake ram horn is secure with two cilps

Nothing has been altered shortly before the problem surfaced!
Only mod on the car is an AMS TBE with cat. NOTHING ELSE. Not even a drop-in.
It's an '03 and has 64k mi. HAS OCCURED BEFORE PUTTING ON THE EXHAUST.

Only code thrown is the 0300 random misfire

Help. Please.

I plan on bringing the car to you to tune on the dyno but I need to clear up this issue first--- or is it a tuning issue (I HOPE???)

Thanks guys!
