Kaizen Tuning Evo X Time Attack Project Part 3

The last part of the Evo X build takes us back to Kaizen tuning's headquarters for what proved to be a mad dash to the finish! The team knew going into this final week of preparation that they where cutting it close and wasted no time in getting started. With less than 5 days until the first round of competition, it was all hands on deck! However, even with multiple people working simultaneously long sleepless nights awaited them all. By the time Friday came around Malcom lead tech on the project had put in 36 hours of work straight. Even after that tremendous effort the team still had a pretty long to do list with only a few hours before the race.

In the morning I headed out to the track much earlier than everyone else for my media clearance meeting. That took a little over an hour and when finished the team had not yet arrived. I grew a bit worried as I waited, but as it turned out they had hit a bit of traffic on their way in. Over the night they completed most of the items left to be crossed off that list I previously mention. The few things left where minor, but even still they where unable to run in the first heat. In the end, missing that first run had very little effect on their performance, as they still managed to take first place in the AWD Unlimited class! Not a bad way to start a year of competition if you ask me!!!

Guardian Angel Motorsports/ Saving Teens Documentary

Roughly a month ago, I spent the day at the beautiful Monticello Motor Club in New York with Guardian Angel Mortorsports. It was a day I will never forget, as not only did I get to do what I love the most(film), but also lend a helping hand for a great cause! If that wasn't enough, once I was done filming, I got the chance to go around the track riding shotgun in a Porsche 911 cup car!!!! That experience totally changed my views on what I thought cars where capable of doing. Going into the first couple of corners I though to my self  "there's no way we are going to be able to take make this turn". Well... I was wrong, because this car seemed to have an endless amount of grip, taking that first corner and those that followed without even breaking a sweat!

The following video is the result of that day at Monticello. It was presented this pass weekend at the second track event hosted by GAM, where the Shelby Cobra featured in the video was auctioned to raise funds for the Saving Teens organization and various other charities. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the event, but I'm told that it was a great success and that they were able to raise over 100k dollars!! Also, I want to extend a special thanks to my good friend Axel Del Cid for coming along and helping me film!!

Kaizen Tuning Evo X Time Attack Project Trailer

It gives me great pleasure to finally release the trailer to this amazing build! It's only 1:44 sec long, but I hope that in that short amount of time, it gives all who watch a glimpse into the dedication, team work, and hard labor that went into bringing this all together. Personally, I'm incredibly grateful that I've been able to be a part and contributor to this project.  Something that in a way, makes me feel incredibly attached to it! Stay tuned as I still have Parts 3 and 4 of the build pictures to release!!
