NST Sponsored Scion tC Wins National Championship

September 2008Jackson-Dawson and Scion Win National Championship

Historic Milestone Marks World’s First National Road Racing Title for Scion

TORRANCE, Calif. — It wasn’t really supposed to happen. A Scion taking a national championship in road racing. But that’s exactly what happened at NASA’s third annual national championship at Mid-Ohio Sportscar Course this past weekend. Driver Dan Gardner and the Jackson-Dawson team brought home the title in Performance Touring C. And they also won overall in Race Group J, being the first car to cross the finish line out of almost 60. It’s a world first for Scion, a brand launched just five short years ago.

"It still hasn’t quite sunk in,” said Gardner. "I knew we had the juice to have a respectable finish, but to win it…to win the national championship, that’s something special. It was no cakewalk; that’s for sure. We battled until the end. For me personally, coming off a broken right foot, it was a huge challenge. This is just so sweet. The team is so excited to bring this home for Scion and for all of our committed sponsors who were always there to support us. And to all the owners out there, thanks for cheering us on. This win is for you.”

The week started off with a decent-enough practice day on Thursday, but the team wouldn’t know what the weather gods had in store until the next morning. Weather patterns seemed to be shifting every 15 minutes, and just five minutes before going on track it was unclear what the track conditions would be. Some teams had wet and dry tires at the ready even in pre-grid.
The JD team would routinely put the car on jackstands and have both a wet and a dry set of tires ready to go on at a moment’s notice. They were also ready to make speedy sway bar and shock adjustments as needed.

On Friday morning the track was already a mess, as rain had been pouring down. Some race groups were running in the wet, and others were running in what seemed to be a monsoon. It was a total crapshoot, but at least in the morning, the decision was easy…rain tires or die.
Crew chief Brad Allen disconnected the rear sway bar before the morning practice. No huge shock changes were made, as the team had already dropped to softer springs the day before.
“It’s really like splitting aces,” said Allen. “When it rains, we pull the rear bar. It’s pretty quick actually. We just disconnect one endlink and then zip tie it up so it’s not flopping all around. Especially with as big a rear bar as we run, it’s important to dial out some of the oversteering tendencies when conditions get slick.”

Practice went well, as Gardner felt out the limits of the car in the wet. He was shifting his foot position on the brake pedal, as the day before had sent sharp waves of pain through his foot, still on the mend after a significant fracture. Still, the car was tearing up the wet track, passing other cars almost at will.

By the time Friday Qualifying came, it was betwixt and between. The track had started to dry out a bit, but menacing clouds loomed overhead. Less than five minutes before going out on track, the JD team decided to throw rains on. Other cars, including the high-powered Mazda RX-8 factory team, were still on dries. One minute before track time, the rain began to fall again. One Mazda actually pulled out of grid to swap to rains, as they had gambled that conditions would stay dry.

Gardner qualified well, putting the car second on grid for the start of the first Qualifying Race. Again, the track would be rain-soaked, so the team maintained the same setup. Gardner would start in the first row on the outside, alongside Speed World Challenge and Grand-Am driver, Jim Daniels. When the green flew, both drivers got a good jump and were neck and neck, until Gardner started to pull ever so slowly on the RX-8. Still, in the braking zone, the Mazda had the edge, as the two cars went side by side inches apart going into the first turn.

Gardner was hounding Daniels in the rain, as pressure came from behind by other RX-8s and the turbo Miata. In the Carousel, Gardner’s Scion got sideways and spun. As Gardner tried to save it, it kept going. Finally, in order not to leave the track surface, Gardner put the brakes on hard, and wound up facing traffic, but still on the track.

It was a brutal waiting game, as a train of 15 cars were coming, and Gardner had to wait around 30 seconds before he was able to find a break, do a lighting-fast U-turn, and then rejoin the race. His 2:07 lap time in the rain was the third fastest in the group, and within two-and-a-half laps he would run down the pack, catching and passing cars, sometimes three at a time.
Halfway through the last lap of the race, Gardner was beating on the back bumper of the second-place RX-8. Gardner went side by side in the Carousel, but would be chopped down on hard by the Mazda, who at the same time went hard on the brakes. As soon as the brake lights went off, Gardner put the go pedal to the floor and swung to the inside of the front straight. It was a drag race to the finish, but the Scion’s supercharged power would prevail, finishing less than 50 thousandths of a second ahead. It truly was a photo finish, and a great rain-driving clinic, as Gardner worked his way back through the field to take second place.

Saturday’s morning warm-up session began with a light rain and wet conditions again. Just a couple laps into the session, the skies opened up. It was virtual blindness as wipers on full speed could not clear the water fast enough, despite the copious amounts of Rain-X the team had put on the windshield. Down the back straight Gardner couldn’t see a thing going 120 mph in a downpour while rooster tail spray from the cars in front pounded the windshield. Then the windshield fogged up, and it was simply too dangerous to continue. Gardner got on the radio to tell his crew he was coming in, only to learn that most other drivers were doing the same thing.
The anti-fog treatment on the glass simply wasn’t enough during a downpour. Crewman Sean Morris got to work, making a run to Radio Shack to buy a mini-fan that could be rigged to help clear the fog from the windshield, should the team be caught in another downpour during a race.
“Our glass looked better than a lot of other cars, which wasn’t saying much,” said Morris. “I found a decent fan and started the wiring and mounting project. I wanted to make sure that the fan wouldn’t be an obstruction, but I also wanted to make sure we had a solution that would work. After all the crazy rain, we wouldn’t even get a chance to try it.”

Saturday’s Qualifying would be dry, so the team went back to their dry setup. Gardner would struggle to find room, only able to place the car third on the grid behind Daniels’s RX-8 and an SRT-4. The start was similar to the previous day, as Gardner got a good jump. He would be in P2, tucking behind Daniels in the first turn. From there it was a game of holding off another RX-8 from the Mazda team.

Gardner made the car wide, making it difficult to be passed. The Scion was clearly faster than the Mazda in places, but was giving it back up in others. Gardner was doing everything he could to keep the Mazda behind. On the final lap, the car would unfortunately bobble for fuel, just enough for the Mazda to get beside the Scion. Fans and announcers were on the edge of their seats as the Scion and Mazda went side by side, inches apart, through the entire last section of turns.

In the end, the RX-8 would get the best of Gardner and the Scion, finishing five or six car lengths ahead. Still, it was a good race, and the fans got a heck of a show.

With the qualifying races over, Daniels earned 200 points, while Gardner and another Mazda RX-8 were tied for second with 175 points a piece. The rules stipulated that ties would be broken by the driver with the fastest lap time during either of the races. Gardner was edged out by a scant single tenth of a second, which would put him in P3 for the start of the National Championship Race on Sunday.

Sunday looked like it would be dry, and during the morning practice Gardner actually secured the fastest laptime of the field, though starting position was already predetermined. Nonetheless, it was a good sign, and a decent start to the day.

Winds would start to blow their way into Mid-Ohio as the day went on. Hurricane Ike’s remnants had clearly made their way inland, as gusts of up to 75 mph hit the track before the day was done.

On the start, Gardner found himself on the inside behind two RX-8s and next to a big-horsepower SRT-4. It was going to take a massive jump to keep the Dodge behind, and that’s exactly what Gardner got. On this start, the Scion rocketed ahead briefly pulling to the inside of the two Mazdas. Gardner thought better of going three wide, and let the Mazdas battle as he tucked in behind and fended off the SRT-4. On several occasions the RX-8s were practically banging doors and fenders as they fought with each other for position through the first several turns. Gardner stayed patient, tucking behind and forming a three-car train around the track.
Going into the Keyhole, the Mazda in P2 made a move to the inside and actually got around the first place car as they headed onto the back straight. Halfway down the straight Gardner went to the inside of the second place car, but didn’t have enough room to get the pass done. Again he tucked in behind as he fended off the SRT-4.

Right before going into Thunder Valley, the Scion and the Mazdas were again locked in a three car train. In an instant, one of the Mazdas found itself having mechanical problems. Gardner and the other RX-8 zoomed by on the inside. Gardner would chase the now-first-place car down, and repeatedly try to get around him.

After three or four laps, Gardner saw an opportunity. As he began to catch lap traffic, Gardner timed a pick-and-pass just right, as he passed an incident and swung to the inside of the Keyhole, using a lower-class Neon as a pick. The RX-8 would get around the Neon as well, but not before Gardner had taken over the position.

Now the Scion was showing the way, leading the class and the entire race group. The Mazda was banging on Gardner’s door trying desperately to get around. He was at the same time fending off the SRT-4, as the Dodge would pass him down the back straight and he would pass him back under braking going into Madness.

Several laps went this way, until a full-course caution brought the pace car out. The pace car collected Gardner who was leading the group. Serious accidents meant that it was unclear if the race would end under double yellow conditions. In the end it was not to be.

After three to four pace laps, the pace car finally pulled off down the back straight, and Gardner waited for the single-file restart. The green flew, and Gardner got another spectacular start, pulling away from the Mazda, who tried to get around the tC under braking. Gardner positioned his Scion in the center of the track and turned in early to thwart the RX-8s attack.
Lap after lap, the Mazda tried to pressure Gardner to force him to make a mistake, but he was experiencing huge pressure of his own from behind, as the SRT-4 was trying to get around him, and sometimes did down the back straight. Gardner was holding onto the position despite the pressure.

With the race getting close to the end, the SRT-4 turned on the heat, picking up the pace, and passing the RX-8 early down the back straight. Gardner would now be forced to fend off the car with the most power in the class. As they came out of the Keyhole on the final lap of the race, Gardner got a little bit of breathing room, but the SRT-4 was on the gas. Gardner set his car up in the middle of the track, as the Dodge tried to get inside.

Gardner apexed at the turn down the back straight to hold the SRT-4 off, and then blended track left to set up for Madness. A slower RX-7 helped pick the Dodge, forcing him to remain behind the Scion as they went into the curviest part of the track. With the Dodge on his back bumper, Gardner started to get a tiny bit of room between himself and the blue SRT. As he approached the Carousel, Gardner knew if he didn’t make a mistake he would take the win.
As he came onto the front straight, Gardner looked back and saw the SRT-4 at least three car lengths back. As he crossed the finish line, with fist pumping in the air, Gardner would take the National Title, bringing Scion its first-ever in road racing. It was close, with the Scion crossing the line less than half a second ahead of the second-place car. The fight made the victory even sweeter for the team.

All of this came after the team scrambled to put the Scion back together again after the big wreck at Watkins Glen. They weren’t sure if everything would be exactly right, but the car was bulletproof, completely reliable all week. Gardner worked around the mending right foot, using various techniques to keep the pain away. In the end, it would be enough to secure the win, and the victory party would begin!

“What an accomplishment by the JD team,” said Steve Hatanaka, Scion auto shows and special events manager. “They were really able to accomplish something special this past weekend. We are really proud of our first national road racing championship. The tC is developing quite a performance reputation, and this is a great end to an amazing season.”

NST K20 Kit in Import Tuner Power Pages

Visit your favorite booksellers this week and ask for the September 2008 issue of IMPORT TUNER magazine. The NST K20 Kit for the Honda Civic Si is featured in Power Pages!

The Import Tuner Si was dyno tested at Skunk2 in Southern California on a Superflow Chasis Dyno and peak numbers rose +3.4hp and +4.0tq. Power and torque were up accross the entire RPM band and certain areas saw gains as high as +4.5hp and +6.1tq. Very very impressive for a $200 modification.

Some excerpts from the Import Tuner Power Pages include:

"Reducing rotational mass is always a reliable way to gain a few ponies on nearly any engine. NST's lightweight pulleys saved 4.2 pounds compared to the OEM ones, and do not under drive the alternator- meaning no dead batteries or dimming lights from an under-active alternator. The NST pulleys are CNC-machined from 6061 T6 aluminum billets, balanced to tighter-than-OE tolerances, and available in anodized ... finishes"

"After two installment of Power Pages and the addition of six basic bolt-on parts, our Civic Si has become a rolling billboard for the way in which aftermarket modifications can improve upon OE engineering. ... more free power was found by replacing the K20's heavy cast pulleys with lightweight billet aluminum NST replacements. Also impressive is that as power grew, demand for additional fuel didn't. Modifications completed to this point only served to increase our K20Z3's efficiency- meaning we'll see increased reliability and fuel efficiency from our new Si, alongside more power. ...As long as we can keep from driving it with a lead foot!"

Formula Drift Las Vegas 2008

Formula Drift hit Sin City for the first time during its fifth season of running the professional drift series in the USA.

Practice and top16 unseeded qualifying took place Friday night from 6pm to 1am. Top16 seeded drivers joined those who qualified to fill the field of 32 cars Saturday night. The tandem battles were intense; some of the best runs we have seen all season included the number1 seed being upset by the number16 seed!

Five Corolla AE86 cars, including the 20V 100shot nitrous ASPEC car driven by Japanese top gun Toshiki Yoshioka, joined the field and did very well. In the end Yoshioka took down several top seeded drivers- Verdier (WRX), Millen (Solstice), Hubinette (Viper), and Yoshihara (GTO)- to take home the top trophy.

The NST powered AE86 of Tommy Suell, a resident of Las Vegas and senior member of Vegas Drift did very well in his first time out with his entirely new setup. Tommy made some very clean runs and barely missed top16 by falling less than 1mph short of the required 85mph entry speed requirement. Tommy plans to participate in Seattle for the next round of Formula Drift and plans to make some serious smoke. Look for the NST/Allegiant sponsored blue AE86 in Seattle's FD Round5, August 2008!

NST Sponsored tC Makes History Again

Jackson-Dawson and Scion Achieve the Unthinkable by Shortly Leading the Race inPro Debut at Mid-Ohio.

Equally Impressive is a Near Top 10 Finish, as Team grabs 14th Out of Fieldof Almost 50

TORRANCE, Calif. - Dan Gardner and the Jackson-Dawson team yesterday madehistory for Scion in the ranks of professional road racing. The tC sportscoupe ran in the top ten for much of the race at Mid-Ohio in Grand-Am'shighly-competitive KONI Challenge Street Tuner class. This is a class wherethe top 20 cars are often less than a second apart for lap times. In theend, the team would finish an impressive 14th out of almost 50.

The team briefly put the Scion at the head of the pack, as many of theleaders came in for a pit stop. What wasn't so brief, however, was the factthat the car ran in the top 10 for much of the race, battling with seasonpoints leaders Eric Curran and Jamie Holtom in the Georgian Bay Cobalt SS.

"What can you say? Being the first at anything in racing is special," saiddriver and team manager, Gardner. "But being the first to actually achieveso much the first time out is beyond the ability of words to describe. OurScion was rock solid reliable. It takes more than that to be successful atthis high of a level, so that's just the start. But then to prove to theworld that Scion is ready, that Scion is here, that Scion is now.well that'sa feeling none of us will ever forget."

A recent decision to put veteran pro driver Craig Stanton in the car withGardner made all the difference in the world, as Stanton drove strong, andproved to be a force with which to be reckoned. And at Mid-Ohio, rain, morespecifically thunderstorms, would prove to be a force to be reckoned with as well..

When the clouds moved in, and the sky saturated with an eerie gray-black,the team got their rain tires ready, but they knew they couldn't do a tireswap until the track got sufficiently wet. It wasn't long before thunderwas booming and lighting was illuminating the sky like old flash bulbs.Then the rain poured down, and the team finally had to bring the car in,lest they be helpless to fight against cars that had already done the tirechange.

When Stanton and the Scion got back on track, it wouldn't be long beforethey found themselves battling it out amongst the top 10 at the front of thepack.this, after starting from 20th position when the green flag dropped.The team knew they would still have to do a driver change, which would becostly since the other teams had already completed theirs.

The strategy was to try to pit under yellow to give the team a fightingchance at not losing any positions. The yellow wouldn't come though, andStanton came in to hand the reigns over to Gardner. The driver change wentoff without a hitch, and Gardner zoomed out onto track. The team wouldmanage to hold onto 14th as Gardner crossed the finish line, taking Scioninto the pages of history.

"To achieve this much at this level excites all of us here at Scion," saidSteve Hatanaka, Scion auto shows and special events manager. "The rest ofthe world can't help but take notice of what we already know.that Scion is aperformance force that has to be taken seriously."

Over the last six months, Chuck Wade and Marty Schwerter at ToyotaMotorsports have been hard at work preparing the car along with Gardner.Central to the prep work and development has been Schwerter, who is nostranger to preparing the tC for road racing. Schwerter is the manresponsible for putting together the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach ProCelebrity cars. The work and experience clearly paid off for the team, asthey suffered not one hiccup during the entire race weekend.

"I had a chance to visit Toyota Motorsports recently," said BGB teammanager, John Tecce. "Marty, Chuck and the gang do fantastic work. It'sexactly the kind of thing you need to field a successful entry in proracing."

Toyota Racing Development (TRD) made great contributions to the team as wellwith the support of the supercharger system along with a few other bits andpieces. The blower is what allows the tC to produce the power to becompetitive at this level.

"When we designed the supercharger, we knew it would give the tC a big shotin the arm powerwise, but we also needed it to be fantastically reliable,"said Gary Boler, TRD business operations manager. "Proving our partsperformance and durability in Grand-Am with the JD team is just furthertestament to the quality that goes into every part and accessory that leavesour door."

Drivers Gardner and Stanton, along with the entire team, put together astring of milestones for Scion which won't soon be forgotten. They include:

. First Scion to compete in professional road racing
. First Scion to finish a pro race
. First Scion to climb into the top 10 during a pro race
. First Scion to lead a pro race
. First Scion to finish a pro race in top third of the field

The tC also managed to turn lap times during the middle of the race in therain that were on par with the race-winning Subaru.all while have two lessdrive wheels to provide traction.

"It's a great car and a great program," said Stanton. "I'm happy I had theopportunity to drive for the team. Scion makes some great products, and thetC really is impressive. Any car that can be setup to compete at this levelsays great things about its general underpinnings."

The race will be broadcast on SPEED in less than a week this comingSaturday, June 28 at 2 p.m. ET. For local listings please seewww.speedtv.com.

PRO/AM Drift Series and Championship 2008

The following was take from www.ziptied.com ...

From the USDrift/ LookoutDrift Forum.....With PRO/AM getting ready to kick off it's third year, and this year being quite a bit different than the previous two, I've decided to post up a sneak peak at the changes, format, scheduling, etc... unofficially so you guys can get an idea of how it's going to work and plan accordingly before the PRO/AM site is complete and it's all officially announced. It's currently being updated as we speak and will hopefully launch in the next week or so (fingers crossed).

Format:Ok, this year the biggest and most noticeable change is that we are going to split the country vertically along the Mississippi River and create 2 divisions, East and West. There will be no more regional series run in the North, South, East, and West. Too many events, too many organizations, and too much confusion among all parties involved. It was a great idea on paper and in a perfect world may have worked, but hey this is America, so we'll just scrap it and try something else until we get it right. So here's version 2.0, the newly created East and West Divisions that will operate similar to how football and baseball have the AFC/NFC and NL/AL (respectively). Drift Association will organize events in the West and USDrift will organize events in the East. Other organizations are still participating in the PRO/AM, however they will work with USDrift and Drift Association for the events they host. With that being said, please visit the PRO/AM website first for all your event information (once it's updated), and if you still have questions then contact either USDrift or Drift Association depending on what division you are participating in to ensure the event you are attending is indeed a qualified event. Other organizations not previously associated with the PRO/AM are welcome to express interest in hosting an event in either region pending certain requirements are met.

Since there are no more regional series to earn season points in and then get invited to the PRO/AM Championship Event and there are more and more competition series (both amateur and professional) being created daily, we have chosen to try the qualifier format this season. Each division will have "X" number of events and at each of those events, "Y" number of drivers will be invited to attend the PRO/AM Championship Event. The "Y" number is not set in stone and is only an approximation based on driver skill level at any given event, the "Y" number can be increased or decreased based on driver performance. For example, the East Division currently has 7 qualifier events scheduled for 2008. Therefore, we plan to invite roughly 5 drivers from each East Divisional qualifier event to represent the East Division and attend the PRO/AM Championship Event. The West Division will follow the same format and invite roughly the same number of drivers to represent the West Division. If all goes as planned, there should be roughly 70 drivers at the PRO/AM Championship Event (~35 from each Division).

Location:The 2008 PRO/AM Championship Event will be held on October 3-5, 2008 at VIRginia International Raceway on the 1.1 Mile Patriot Course, in Alton, VA in conjunction with GTLive. That's right, it's finally on the East Coast, so no slacking off this year guys (and gals). It's also being held a month prior to SEMA, hopefully that will help any drivers who earn licenses in securing sponsors easier then the past 2 years.

Schedule:The East Division has the following 6 qualifier events scheduled:June 8, 2008 - Old Dominion Speedway, Manassas, VA (USDrift)June 20-21, 2008 - Summit Point Raceway - Main Course - Summit Point, WV (USDrift)July 26, 2008 - VIRginia International Raceway - Patriot Course - Alton, VA (USDrift)July 26, 2008 - Gateway International Raceway - Infield Road Course - St. Louis, MO (ClubFR)August 16, 2008 - USA Iinternational Raceway - Shawano, WI (ClubFR) August 24, 2008 - Summit Point Raceway - Shenandoah Circuit - Summit Point, WV (USDrift)The West Division is still currently being worked out. Their first qualifier event however is:June 28-29, 2008 at Miller Motorsports Park, in Tooele, UT (Drift Association)

USD East Coast Series:All rounds currently scheduled for the 2008 USD season will be qualifier events in addition to the normal series events we always run. Nothing is going to change for drivers trying to win the series in cumulative points at the end of the season. The only difference now is some drivers may not have to compete against drivers competing in the entire series just for an invite to the PRO/AM, as that can be earned at only one event now. Although the 2008 USD season is open to both professional and amateur drivers this year, only amateur drivers will be eligible to earn invitations to the PRO/AM Championship Event. For example, lets say 3 professional and 40 amateur drivers enter Round 1. The first and second place winners are professionals, and the next 4 are amateur and the eighth place is the last professional. The first 4 amateurs will be invited to the the PRO/AM, even though they placed 3-7th in the competition.

The USD season points system will be the same as the last several years. Each 2008 USD competition will award drivers' (both professional and amateur) points based on their performance. At the end of the USD season, a series champion will be determined based on the driver with the most overall points earned this season.

NST Drift Demo at Scion Expo 2008

NST - NonStopTuning was again one of the biggest sponsors of Scion Expo (4th annual 2008) in Houston, Texas. This Scion event is organized by Scion owners, for Scion owners, each year and is one of the biggest scion events in the southern region. Team Scioneyed, the organization behind Scion Expo asked us to provide a drift demo for them and we were happy to provide Will P's NST AE86 Corolla for this demo.

This turbocharged 4AGE Corolla (AE86) is nationally liscenced for competition, carries a full roll cage, fire system/saftey equipment, and packs a punch under the hood! NST Underdrive Pulley Kit, NST Adjustable Cam Gears, and NST Short Shift Kit are some of the many modifications made to this car.

Look for the NST Drift Team at future car shows and motorsports events. We plan to do a few more drift demos during the summer!

NST at NOPI DRIFT in St. Louis ... APRIL 20 2008...

Our first NOPI Drift event of the 2008 season came on April 19/20, 2008 and was an exciting one. Driver Will Parsons and the NST crew arrived in St. Louis Friday morning and spent the weekend battling it out against some of the best drivers in the region.

Overall the weekend was a challenging one, to say the least. A bad injector was the cause of missfire early and required a replacement the night before the 13 hour road trip. The car ran well during practice sessions on Friday, but again started missfiring, and hard rain all afternoon made the diagnostics process that much more difficult. The fuel pump was eventually diagnosed as the culprit and a replacement was installed Saturday afternoon. The car was up and running again, and ran well for the rest of the day.

Having missed most of the practice session on Saturday, Will Parsons would have few runs under his belt before qualifying was to occur. The NST AE86 failed to make the field of top16 Sunday, but was a definite crowd pleaser and one of most popular fan favorites, as it was the only AE86 in a field of high horsepower SR, RB, and LS1 powered cars.

"We had a lot of fun this weekend, we met some new people in the NOPI series and organization, and I am very proud of all the hard work by our entire crew." said Mike Rahimi, team manager. "From the driver, to the pit crew, to our photographer, we all worked very hard and made it happen!"

The KING Is Back!!! C6 ZR1!!!

Every car nut can trace their love for cars back to a specific moment, usually as a child, when the whole thing started. For me that was the first time I saw and recognized what a Corvette was. I was 9 years old and decided, "I have to have one some day." Twenty years later and the KING is back.



6.2 Supercharged Liters
620+ HP
0-60 in 3.5 sec
1/4Mile in 11.0 sec

The supercharged LS9 output? 100hp per liter, and the ZR1 has a 5lb/hp power to weight ratio.

Magnesium, carbon fiber, and aluminum can be found all over this lightest while strongest Corvette ever.

Needless to say, NST is anxiously waiting for the arrival of the new ZR1, as we hope to develop a few new goodies for this awesome plattform.
