Don't tell Ian Stewart that it is hot outside, he doesn't care. Stewart set out to break the track record in NASA's TTC class running a 2:33.2 in 105 degree heat this past weekend. The previous record was 2:35.7. Ian wasn't happy with the record so the next morning he went out and ran a 2:32.1 beating the TTC Sebring track record by 3.6 seconds! Great job Ian!
If there was a track that required good dampers it is Sebring. Known as one of the bumpiest tracks in the U.S., Sebring has long been a torture test for race cars. Ian makes it look easy with this lap.
Ride along with him <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPrfoF6yjXI">here</a>.
Ian is running the AST 5100 kit for the MINI Cooper. 5100s are single adjustable (rebound only) shocks. When we first started working with Ian, he wanted a high performance shock without the sky high prices of double and triple adjustable shocks. The 5100 was a perfect trade off in performance and value using competition level components in a single adjustable (non remote) shock. He's quoted as saying they work better than "any $7,000 shock I've driven on at less than half the price." Thanks again to Ian for showing off what a great driver on great shocks can do.
