CRP Racing is pleased to announce that seasoned road-course racer Ron Fellows will be driving its No. 2 Chevrolet Corvette C6 in the 2010 World Challenge GT Championship.

A longtime sports car and road-racing veteran, Fellows is credited with three class championships in the American Le Mans Series, two class wins in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and 19 overall victories in the Sports Car Club of America’s Trans-Am Series as a member of the Corvette Racing Team.
Fellows made 14 World Challenge GT starts between 2004 and 2007, earning three wins (Mosport in 2004, Mosport in 2005, and Long Beach in 2006) and seven podium finishes. Fellows also was fastest qualifier three times.
CRP Racing owner, Nicholas Short, is excited to have a driver of Ron Fellows’ caliber join the team.
“I’ve known Ron since the Trans-Am days and when the opportunity arose to have him drive for us, it was a very easy decision,” Short said. “I couldn’t be happier having him join CRP Racing.”
Also joining the CRP Racing Team is primary sponsor Carlisle Companies, Inc. which is a diversified global manufacturing company serving industries ranging from foodservice to aerospace to specialty trailers to construction materials to specialty tires and wheels. Carlisle will use the opportunity to promote their Cragar, Black Rock™ & ITP™ wheel brands and ITP™ Off-Road and Carlisle trailer tire brands. In the past, Carlisle has been involved in off-road racing with its ITP™ and Black Rock™ brands. Cars equipped with ITP™ tires earned class
wins at the 2009 Baja 500 and 1000 off-road races.
“Carlisle is headquartered in the heart of racing country, Charlotte, NC,” said David Roberts, Chairman, President and CEO of Carlisle Companies, Inc. “We manufacture tires, wheels and power transmission belts used in some of the toughest racing environments. Our sponsorship of cars in last year’s Baja 500 and 1000 races were successful as class wins were achieved by cars using ITP™ tires and wheels.
“Partnering with CRP and Ron Fellows is an extension of our commitment to the performance and motorsports industry,” Roberts continued. “Our Cragar wheel brand was the wheel of choice by many of the top names in motorsports in the past and we look forward to rekindling that preference. Cragar branded products continue to be a favorite with hot rod and muscle car enthusiasts. The introduction of the Black Rock™ brand for the off-road enthusiast has been extremely successful and we want to continue that success. I think the association with CRP Racing will allow us to accomplish our goals. In addition, many of our employees are racing enthusiasts and successful amateur racers. Sponsoring CRP Racing is a natural fit for us and allows our products and people to be involved in motorsports.”

Things you didn’t know about Race Technology
Race Technology products are used in many applications outside of motorsport and automotive testing. An interesting example of this is the use of the Race Technology DL2 data logger and IMU06 inertial measurement unit on board pilot boats in Cork, Ireland. The system is used to log the time, date, location and ferocity of impacts that occur as the vessels is in use. Pilot boats often encounter very heavy seas so it is therefore important to keep track of any impacts in order to maintain them properly. The DL2 can stay in a dormant state recording in a loop until a trigger event occurs, then the data recorded for a set time period before the impact is stored along with data afterwards. This allows immaculate record keeping of any impacts on the boat making preventive maintenance easier.

SAE data acquisition seminar:
On the 15 and 16 April 2010 the Society of Automotive Engineers is hosting the Racecar Data Acquisition and Analysis seminar in Detroit, Michigan. The seminar takes place in conjunction with the 2010 SAE World Congress, the essential automotive technology event in Detroit's Cobo Center.
Over the 2 days presenter Jörge Segers will teach participants how to analyze the data logged by modern race car data acquisition systems and use the conclusions to enhance the performance of the car and driver.
Although the numerous examples covered are not confined to one specific data acquisition system, the Detroit seminar will be supported by Race Technology USA. The participants will be able to get their hands on the company's most recent hardware and some hands-on exercises will be performed using their Analysis software package.
Jörge Segers has a long standing background in professional motorsports and has presented courses on data analysis around the world. In 2008 the Society of Automotive Engineers published his book Analysis Techniques for Racecar Data Acquisition. For more information on this course click here.
Data Interpretation Seminar, Virginia International Raceway USA. April 15th 2010 (in conjunction with SCCA Double National) from 6 - 9 PM
Krause & Associates will hold a training seminar in the use of the Race Technology DL1 data logger and Analysis software at the K&A Driver Development Studio located at the Virginia International Raceway’s VMTP campus. Topics covered will be: hardware installation, database management, software setup and features and quick analysis of the on-track activity. Al Seim of Race Technology USA, Peter Krause and RRDC member Don Knowles will demonstrate examples from the DL1 data logger and the new VIDEO4 solution.
Price for the training course will be $149.00 per person and registration is now open here |

Tip of the Month
Compare cornering forces on multiple laps. Make sure you are consistently using the maximum available grip in each corner.
The built in accelerometer of the DL1 gives you a wealth of information about how much grip is available during cornering, acceleration and braking. Comparing two laps can show you how much grip is available, which in turn will give you the confidence to travel faster through the turn. In the sample image we can see how the more efficient use of the brakes and later turn in produces a speed difference which ultimately leads to faster a lap time.
The example shown above is taken from a sector where a long fast corner is accelerated around before braking hard for a series of tight slow corners. We are comparing the faster black lap with the slower red one.
Point A highlights the later harder braking done on the black lap compared to the more gradual earlier braking on the red lap.
Point B shows the black lap's higher lateral forces towards the end of the long corner (the lateral acceleration values are shown in the Virtual Dashboard window).
The higher cornering forces at this point are a result of the higher speed (Point C) which has been carried due maintaining acceleration for longer and the harder later braking.
The overall result of this is a saving of over a second on this sector. |

FREE Training Course
The next training course to be held at the Race Technology offices in Nottingham will be on 25th March 2010 and there are a few places still left. So get in touch to reserve your spot. Bookings are being taken for all course dates now.
As always we will be covering the basics of how to set up the DL1 Data Logger, how to use the Analysis Software and most importantly we show you ways to analyse your performance and how you can reduce your lap times.
If you wish to book a place on this free training course or need any further information please contact sales@race-technology.com |

 Photo:Mark Weber ANGLETON, Texas (Feb. 22, 2010) – Brass
Monkey Racing has announced plans to campaign a pair of Nissan GT-R
cars in the 2010 World Challenge GT Championship with the support of
Nissan North America, Inc. The announcement signals a renewed
interest for Nissan, which last participated in World Challenge with a
Touring Car effort in 2005. The twin-turbo, all-wheel-drive Nissan GT-R
racecars are currently under construction at Brass Monkey Racing’s
Texas-based race shop and will make their North American debut March
26-28, in St. Petersburg, Fla., at the hands of two-time series race
winner Tony Rivera, of Missouri City, Texas, and rookie Steve Ott, of
Houston. “We’re very excited to bring such an iconic car to the
North American professional road racing scene,” Brass Monkey Racing
Team Owner A.J. Brass said. “After such a successful season in 2009,
finishing third in the Championship and winning in our very first race,
we look forward to the challenge of bringing an entirely new platform
to World Challenge. With Nissan’s assistance and great engineering and
driving, we expect to contend for the 2010 Drivers’ and Manufacturers’
Championships.” “Nissan is very excited about the new Brass
Monkey project,” Nissan North America Senior Manager - Motorsports,
Wholesale and Collision Parts Growth Ron Stukenberg said. “This series
aligns well with the performance of the GT-R and compliments the
production attributes of the car. It’s great to have a Nissan compete
in World Challenge after a brief hiatus. We look forward to having Tony
and Steve at the front of the field in 2010.” Brass noted that
despite a compressed timeline to finish the new cars, they benefit from
an already solid platform with the GT-R. “Many of the cars in
the series have serious modifications to the engines and drivelines
from the stock vehicles,” Brass said. “The beauty of the GT-R is that
it is an amazing platform to start with and we are able to utilize all
of the stock internal components and drivetrain. With the exception of
some of the approved series aerodynamic items and an effort to bring
the car down to a competitive weight, the car will remain incredibly
stock compared to most of our competition.” Brass Monkey Racing
was formed in 2009 with the support of Tax Masters. Its rookie season
was a tremendous success, with Rivera, a relative unknown in
professional racing, winning in the team’s very first attempt at
Sebring in the team’s Porsche 911 GT3. He went on to win at Road
America later in the season, finishing third in the Championship
standings. “I couldn’t be more excited about the 2010 season,”
Rivera said. “I anticipate the Brass Monkey Nissans will become the
most popular cars in the paddock because there is such an unbelievable
following worldwide for the GT-R. My first racecar was a Showroom Stock
B Nissan NX 2000, so it’s cool to be back in a Nissan - even though
this one will be quite a bit different!” Ott previously raced
with Rivera with Brass Mitchell Racing, which later evolved into Brass
Monkey Racing, in the 2008 Koni Challenge. Like Rivera, his roots are
in SCCA Club Racing, where he finished on the podium at the SCCA
National Championship Runoffs. Running a partial season in the 2006
Champ Car Atlantic Championship, he scored good results with Newman
Wachs Racing. “I’ve always wanted to run World Challenge because
of the single-driver format and amazing cars,” Ott said. “To have an
opportunity to be a part of the Brass Monkey Nissan team is incredible
and I can’t wait to begin testing for St. Petersburg.” Brass
Monkey Racing and its Nissan GT-R World Challenge effort will have
support from Nissan, Tax Masters, Stoptech, Penske Shocks South Side
Performance and Seibon Carbon. For more information about Brass Monkey
Racing, please visit www.brassmonkey.com. Sanctioned
by SCCA Pro Racing and managed by WC Vision, the World Challenge
Championships represent the best production-based racing in the world.
Utilizing a single driver format and standing starts for the 50-minute
races, the series offers non-stop action in each of its three
categories—GT, GTS and Touring Car. The series features 12 races at
eight different venues in 2010, starting with a doubleheader weekend at
the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in conjunction with the Indy
Racing League, March 26-28. For more information, visit www.world-challenge.com. Attached:

TORRANCE, Calif. (February 19, 2010) – Honda
Performance Development recently began shipping 1.5-liter Honda Fit
engines to racers planning to run the engine in Sports Car Club of
America (SCCA) Formula F competition. Through its introduction to the
category, HPD hopes to strengthen FF’s position as the first step in
American open-wheel auto racing. The initial batch of
fuel-injected Honda L15A7 overhead-cam engines was shipped to
competitors who had previously secured their orders via cash deposit.
The Fit engine can be adapted for installation in existing FF chassis. “This
is an exciting day for all of us at HPD,” said Erik Berkman, president
of Honda Performance Development. “We hope that this foundational step
in our grassroots motorsports initiative will help grow the FF class by
making it more affordable and competitive.” The Honda FF engine
was developed by HPD in cooperation with Maryland-based Quicksilver
RacEngines. The engine was developed to equal the performance of the
traditional Kent power plant through utilization of an intake
restrictor plate and appropriately mapped Engine Control Unit (ECU), as
confirmed during comparative testing with representative Kent engines
under SCCA supervision. Final track output will be mandated by the SCCA
through its restrictor determination. Honda-powered FFs are approved for SCCA competition effective March 1, 2010. Developed
from the current Honda Fit, introduced in 2009, the L15A7 engine in FF
form is intended to provide open-wheel racers with a modern,
fuel-injected design offering superior service life, increased
availability and lower operating costs. Engine rebuilds will be
reduced, with a corresponding reduction in the need for top-end
refreshing. In addition, crankshaft and valve-spring life should be
extended dramatically; and most ignition and all carburetor maintenance
will be eliminated. “Many of us at HPD, myself included,
have been involved in FF racing,” said Marc Sours, HPD Production
Division Manager and Large Project Leader for HPD’s grassroots effort.
“We believe in the class and want to see it grow in popularity. With
the delivery of this first batch of Honda FF engines, and future
orders, we are hoping to increase participation through economical
competition.” Honda Fit race engines can be purchased as a
complete package, including a base L15A7 engine and FF engine
conversion kit (including intake, exhaust, dry sump, lightweight
alternator, restrictor plate and ECU). Individual component parts will
also be available for purchase separately. HPD also offers
chassis kits for three of the most popular FF designs: the Swift DB-1,
Swift DB-6 and Van Diemen RF99-09 models. Several current race-car
manufacturers, including Fast Forward Components (Piper) and Citation
Engineering, offer FF chassis ready to accept the Fit engine. For
more information on the Honda Fit FF engine, racers can explore the HPD
website, http://racing.honda.com/hpd, or contact the company at: Honda Performance Development, Inc. 661-702-7777 grmsadmin@hra.com Honda
Performance Development (HPD) is Honda’s racing company within North
America. Founded in 1993, and located in Santa Clarita, Calif., HPD is
the technical operations center for American Honda’s high-performance
racing cars and engines. In addition to its new grassroots motorsports
business, HPD is the single engine supplier to the IndyCar Series and
spearheaded Acura’s championship-winning efforts in the 2009 American
Le Mans Series. Quicksilver RacEngines (QSRE) is a private
company in Frederick, MD, owned and operated by Sandy Shamlian since
1973. QSRE engines have been a staple in open-wheel and sports-car
racing, logging countless professional and amateur race wins and
championships in the USA, England, Venezuela, Australia and Canada in
classes such as Zetec F2000, Formula Continental Sports 2000, Formula
Atlantic and FF1600.

Coming off of its strongest season yet in the World Challenge Championship, Global Motorsports Group is announcing its return to the championship for the 2010 season.
James Sofronas and his GMG team will campaign Porsches in World Challenge and the American Le Mans Series in 2010. (SCCA) » More Photos
GMG, based in Southern California, will return with a trio of Porsche 911 GT3s to compete in the World Challenge GT class. Leading the team will be team owner and driver James Sofronas of Newport Beach, Calif. Sofronas enjoyed a stellar 2009 season, in which he scored wins at the Long Beach Grand Prix and at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca on his way to finishing a career-best second in the championship. Joining him will be series veteran Dino Crescentini, of Manhattan Beach, Calif., who is back for his third season in the Stoptech/GMG Porsche 911 GT3. Crescentini scored a win in 2009 at Watkins Glen International Raceway, on his way to finishing the season in ninth place. In the third GMG Porsche will be William Ziegler, the 2009 World Challenge Rookie of the Year. All three cars will be outfitted with GMG’s line of World Challenge parts, StopTech brakes, Sparco safety gear and BBS wheels. GMG also enjoys a close association with Porsche Motorsports North America.
“There is no doubt that World Challenge is one of the most competitive and demanding racing series in North America,” said Fabryce Kutyba, co-owner of Global Motorsports Group. “This allows us to develop and test our World Challenge line of components and complete packages for Porsche cars. GMG’s products are the direct result of our involvement in motorsport, and through this race winning experience we are able to develop the best products in the world to enhance performance and maintain factory reliability.” “We are very happy and proud to announce that we are returning to World Challenge GT with all three of our 2009 drivers for this season,” said Sofronas. “World Challenge has been the foundation on which we have built our race team and our Porsche product line. GMG World Challenge parts can be found not only on our race cars, but our customer’s street and race cars. We are excited to see what 2010 holds for us. “On a personal level, I can’t wait to get back into the No.14 GMG Porsche GT3 and fight for a championship. Finishing second last year and getting those two wins was great, but now it is time to go after the top spot at the awards banquet. I can’t wait for the lights to go out in St. Petersburg.” Sanctioned by SCCA Pro Racing, the 12-race 2010 World Challenge Championship begins March 26-28 with a doubleheader race weekend at the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.

Motorsports Hero HD |

Motorsports Hero HD |
Be a HERO...GoPro, in HD.
Developed for professional use, but at a consumer price, the HD HERO line of wearable cameras capture full HD video rivaling cameras costing 10x the price. How? Our team consists of some of the brightest minds in Silicon Valley who also happen to be obsessed with outdoor sports, race cars, and all things moto. Athletic super geeks? Indeed.
Professional Quality, Full HD Video
1080p, 960p, and 720p in 30 and 60 fps (720p). The HD HERO line of cameras offers three different HD resolutions, giving you three filming modes to capture the best angles for any given activity:
* 1080p: 1920x1080 True HD featuring a 127º angle of view, 30 fps, and 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio
* 960p: 1280x960 Ultra Wide and Tall HD featuring a 170º angle of view, 30 fps, and 4:3 aspect ratio. See more of the action above and below than widescreen16:9 resolutions can show.
* 720p: 1280x720 Ultra Wide HD featuring a 170º angle of view, both 30 and 60 fps, and 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio
5MP Photos, Automatically
HD HERO cameras can shoot hands-free, 5 megapixel photos automatically at 2 / 5 / 10 / 30 / and 60 second intervals until the batteries die or the SD card is full (2.5 hours). Or set it to single shot, triple shot, or self timer for more traditional photo taking.
Audio Excellence
We’ve invested more in the HD HERO camera's sound system than most companies spend on their entire camera development. You’ll only be hearing the sounds of your sport, not the howl of the wind. How? Obsessive audio engineering and an understanding that good sound is as important as good video.
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion, Built in Battery Warmer
The rechargeable 1100mAh lithium-ion battery (included) lasts for 2.5 hours of constant recording. It can be recharged to 80% capacity in just 2 hours when plugged into a computer’s USB port, or in 1 hour when plugged into a USB compatible wall or car charger. Camera can also be used while charging...handy on road trips where it's fun to leave the camera rolling. Camera also features an integrated battery heating system for keeping your battery warm in winter activities.
Shockproof, Bombproof, Waterproof to 180’ / 60m
Don’t let a little water, or even a ton of water get in the way of getting the shot. Proven in heavy surf from Hawaii to Tahiti, Southern Mexico to Northern California, HD HERO cameras can handle it thanks their highly engineered polycarbonate exoskeletal housing. Waterproof to 180’ / 60m and tough enough to take a spin across the asphalt, GoPros are built to take a beating.

Chase Cam 520 Line Bullet Camera System with Microphone |
|
Chase Cam 520 Line Bullet Camera System with Microphone |
BulletCam - The latest in video technology! Now with 580 rated (520 in actual) Lines of resoltion and powered microphone included! The BulletCams are very small, lightweight, and rugged. Because of its low weight, there's less "mass" undergoing shock and vibration which means a more stable image, higher reliability and less chance of damage. It also opens up the use of smaller mounting methods so that you can mount the camera when there's not much space available. For maximum reliability, the camera is a single printed circuit board with surface mount components and a board mounted CCD. The BulletCam is waterproof. You can even submerge it. Our BulletCams use a wide-angle, lens which is ideal for motorsports. Many lenses are too narrow and the field of view just doesn't capture the excitement and vividness that you get with a wide angle lens. You can also get too wide an angle. We supply our cams with what we think is the best angle (92 degrees). The camera is mounted in a hard aluminum tube with standard camera mounting attachment points. The front is a replaceable lens. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is NOT a digital camera. You need a recording device... Our camera simply provides a standard analog video output. If you want to record the video, you'll need an external recording device such as a VCR or a camcorder to plug into. The camera does NOT plug into your computer UNLESS you have a video capture board. If you don't know what a video capture board is, your computer probably doesn't have one The BulletCam System includes ALL the cables, connectors and couplers you need to connect the camera to an external recording device such as a camcorder or a VCR. Once you get your BulletCam System, you'll be up and running in a matter of minutes without having to go to Radio Shack to pick up cables or connectors to make everything work. You get the following standard items as part of your kit: Color CCD BulletCamera. Powered Microphone with built in splitter.(Most Camcorders disable internal mic when recording external video) 12V Cigarette Lighter adapter or Battery Pack Video patch cord (goes between the adapter and your recording device).
