>>FT-86 SpeedFactory One Lap of America Build<<
That's right everyone! FT-86 SpeedFactory will soon be coming to a race track near you!
We will be competing in TireRack's One Lap of America competion this coming May and we have some car prep to be doing  What is One Lap of America, you might ask???? Well, I'll let them tell you. "Nearly twenty-four hours a day driving with competition taking place as time trials on race tracks throughout the country. The event, as it always has been, is foremost one of endurance and vehicle preparation. No support crews are allowed. The tires that are used on the street are the same ones that are raced on (one set per team). Although scoring is based on performance at the race tracks, the vehicles and their drivers must survive over 5000 miles of driving interspersed with the finest meals available at gas station convenience stores. Personal hygeine takes a holiday and friendships (sometimes marriages) are stretched to the limits as these competitors battle fatigue, weather, traffic and the demands of high-speed competition with both unknown amateurs and seasoned professional drivers like Parnelli Jones, Price Cobb, John Buffum, Elliot Forbes Robinson and Hurley Haywood." [ame]http://youtu.be/wqMsrmaU0FU[/ame] Come see us at a track near you. 2013 Event Schedule: May 4th - TireRack Wet Skid Pad May 4th - Grissom Air Force Base May 5th - Talladega Gran Prix Raceway May 5th - Alabama International Dragway May 6th - NOLA Motorsports Park May 7th - Daytona International Speedway May 8th - Carolina Motorsports Park May 8th - BMW Performance Center May 9th - Virginia International Raceway May 10th - Pittsburgh International Race Complex May 11th - TireRack Wet Skid Pad We will be campaigning in our Argento FR-S and are in the process of putting some more goodies on her in preparation for the competition  Sponsors Fortune Auto MFactory Current Upgrades: Engine & Exhaust FT-86 SpeedFactory V1 Exhaust Borla UEL header Perrin Overpipe Invidia catless resonated frontpipe aFe Takeda Intake Chassis & Suspension Fortune Auto 500 v4 coilovers AP Racing Sprint Big Brake Kit FT-86 SpeedFactory Tri-Bar FT-86 SpeedFactory lightweight battery kit Wheels & Tires Enkei RPF1 17x9+35 Matte Black Hankook RS-3 in 255/40/17 Drop Engineering Lug Nuts Exterior & Cosmetic Rexpeed full lip kit Seibon SN Style Trunk Spoiler T1R oil cap T1R titanium shift knob Upcoming mods: Fortune Auto NEW Two-Way adjustable Coilovers with remote resivors.

After seeing Drives coverage of it last year I really wanted to do it but It would require a lot of commitment from a stand alone civilian with no backing. Maybe next year
