Petit Le Mans - October 13th

It's time to go racing! The Petit Le Mans is the final on-road race in Utah and the best. Drivers from all over the states form teams to go head to head in this unique format modeled after the American Le Mans Series.

Take your car of choice, perhaps 4WD touring car and race against a 1/10th pan, or those feisty 2WD Porsches in the GT2 class.
It’s time to settle those arguments about who’s faster ... for good. The American Scale Endurance Racing Series presents
the “Petit Le Mans” in Salt Lake City on October 13th. 4 classes battling for class honors and the overall victory.
This is what we at ASERS do... scale looking cars... racing on a scale version of a real circuit... racing in a scale format of the
legendary endurance sports car racing known as Le Mans. It’s time to experience the excitement of team endurance racing.

ALMS race recap

Here in Salt Lake City the last 45 minutes of the American Le Mans race was aborted due to a redundant press conference on KSL. They decided to fill the hour with nothing new to report from the trapped miners... not the first time a live event has been trumped by local "nothing" news.

*IMPORTANT CHANGES TO LMP1 & GT2*

American Scale Endurance Racing Series is making changes to the list of classes. Here's the summary:

LMP1 is Pro 10. Or 1/10th DD (direct drive or solid axle) scale Pan as it used to be called. Must use closed cockpit bodies.

LMP2 - no changes.

August 18th - ASERS•SLC - Round 2

Round 2 is nearly underway as the WVH Cup race takes place at Fastkart. Porsche Cup will be the most exciting class as the teams descend on track battles with GT1 and LMP classes.

The ASERS event will be on the Mosport circuit, a fast sweeping circuit that is all about carrying momentum around the circuit for the fast lap.

Paul Hatfield does the double!

With threatening skies the GT2 Porsche Cup series in Salt Lake City, Utah. Out of the gate the cars that looked best in the qualifying warm up were Troy Kendall in his #23 car followed by JF McCrea in his #37 car. Jim Fred McCrea and Nicole McCrea tuned their cars to the track but with changing conditions and possible rain no one was sure what to do. Joining the group for his first GT2 event was Ryan Sagers in the #25 car. Parker in the #96 was struggling with set up as his car would go away once the tires came up to temperature. The Professor didn't take to the track during qualifying and many thought his car was in trouble. But the kids were taken to school once again as the track continued to cool off as the clouds rolled in.

Race #1 coming soon... with data

Now a nostalgic race... Pantera's, M1's.... that could be very cool.

Sexy new spoked rims from LRP

Here are some details about the VTEC brand expanding its tire line by releasing new foam tires for LRP. These tires have been made using high quality Japanese foam and are suitable for use on both gas and electric powered cars. Sold pre-glued, they come available in a number of different shores from 35 to 45.

They look fantastic. Too bad there isn't a few colors for the rims, i.e. black, grey, etc..
