AEROMOTION DEBUTS AT SCCA SOLO AND SETS TIME AT TOP OF STANDINGS
Sunday (08/10/2008), Albany, California. Once again, 3-time National Champion Vic Sias ran the Aeromotions Active Wing Assembly on his Sias Tuning Street Modified M3, this time at a San Francisco Region Solo Event at Golden Gate Fields. Running in the the morning run group, Vic along with the other morning drivers struggled with poor surface grip on a particularly tight course. Vic set top time of the day on his runs before packing up for the day.
As conditions changed in the afternoon, the top time would later be re-set by one sole hot-shoe, friend-of-Aeromotions, Scott Fraser who in the afternoon conditions masterfully navigated his CSP Miata around the tight circuit. Scott later commented, “I have a spare Miata trunk… let’s put an Active Wing Assembly on and run in Street Modified 2!”
A crowd gathered around Vic’s car to check out the new wing while it went through its startup operations-check sequence. As the car took to the track, the crowd got to see the wing in operation.
“That is a great idea,” and “Wow!” was heard multiple times in the pits.
On his first run, Vic noted some oversteer in the higher-speed portions of the course. A few button presses later, and the wing was set to help that condition while still adapting to specific conditions at each part of the course. As Vic pulled in his 2nd run to set fast time, it was apparent the adjustments worked. Aerodynamics without compromise.
Aeromotions will be back on the track in two weeks time at Thunderhill Raceway park where they will be doing testing on the high-speed Thunderhill course. Stay TUNED.
