We are quickly approaching a major night in Arizona motorsports history. Annually, NASA Pro Racing's Arizona Region hosts one of the biggest motorsports events the state has seen. This year will be no different. Here is the details.


**Event Features**

Modified Magazine Tuner Shootout :: This section of the event puts the top tuner cars in the country up against each other in a head to head battle in auto-x, time attack, drag racing, dyno runs, and more. Participation in this portion of the event is INVITE ONLY. There has benn rumors that the 2008 confirmed participants include; Cobb Tuning Nissan R35, Factor X Acura NSX, Full Race Nissan R14 (AWD S14 with RB26 powerplant), World Scion TC, Skunk2 Acrua RSX, KSport Acura RSX. Rumors continue to say that several other major tuners; such as AMS, DynoComp, WORK and more; are still considering the event.

Super Street Magazine Super Lap Battle Qualifier :: For the last few years, Super Street magazine has held one of their qualifying rounds for their annual Super Lap Battle here in Phoenix with NASA Pro Racing Arizona Region. The Super Lap Battle final will be held on November 12th at the Buttonwillow Raceway Park in Buttonwillow, CA. Local racer Tage Evanson will be defending his 2007 championship this year along with his track record in the Limited FF class.

UMS Tuning Time Attack :: Created by Tage Evanson for the local road racers, the UMS Tuning sponsored Time Attack has proven to be very popular in the local scene and continues to grow every month.

US Drift by Trial By Fire :: Trial By Fire was one of the first organizations to start its own drifting events for drivers of all skill levels here in Arizona. Hosting their own parking lot style events in Tucson and Phoenix, they have continuously teamed up with NASA Pro Racing to create some of the biggest experiences in drifting that Arizona has to offer. This portion of the event will feature over 30 drivers of all skill levels. A great place for beginners to come out and see what they can do. A great place for professional drivers to come out and have some fun and show the new guys the tricks that made them pros.

Centerforce Clutch Hyper Drive :: The hyper drive program gives an opportunity for normal people to get 15 minutes on track to experience what our drivers experience at a very very low price compared to normal registration costs. We thank Centerforce Clutch for making this possible for those who decide to participate.

NASA Race Groups :: NASA race groups are filled with amazing competition which features several classes. This years 100 minute Enduro should be as exciting as last years with several local Honda Challenge and Spec 944 racers coming to battle it out and prove who is better. Along with them will be the Performance Touring and Super Touring classes which include BMW's, Porsche's, Dodge Viper's, Nissan 240sx's and more.

NASA Time Trial :: NASA TT is all about your fastest times and not about position on track.

NASA HPDE Groups :: High Performance Drivers Education. HPDE1 through HPDE3, these groups are the stepping stone into NASA Time Trials and NASA Race Groups. HPDE1 is designed for the new driver who may not know about braking zones and track etiquette. HPDE2 is for those who are ready to drive with a larger group of cars and learn the proper ways to drive side by side, make passes, and other vital procedures when driving on a race track.

AZAWD.ORG Meet :: Annually, the AZAWD.org meet brings out about 30 Evo's and Suby's. This year will be no different as the popularity of the two cars continue to rise.

NICOfest Phoenix :: NICOclub.com serves as one of the largest Nissan/Infiniti online forums there is. Arizona serves as the home to NICO's founder. After several years of colaboration between NOPI and NICO, Arizona was removed from the tour by NOPI. This appeared to bring the Phoenix Nicofest to a stop for the time being, but officials from Club Racing Arizona thought there was no better way to continue the NICO event than to invite them out with us for what we consider our largest event of the year. That being said, we welcome NICO and hope that they enjoy this event as much as we do.

Evolution Motorsports/Scottsdale Exotic Car Club Vehicle Display :: Another new portion of the event, we welcome these two groups who will be displaying some of the most expensive cars on the planet.


We hope to see everyone there.

Media coverage will be provided by Modified Magazine and Super Street Magazine.

"Rumor" has it that the infamous "Tage" has been invited to this event and will be duking it out against the top tuners in the country...

[PhoenixB16]

Dan let me know. i just need to know in advance. ill help you with the enduro then i will bail when it is finished.

[Vtecracer]

Yes Dan let us know.... i have not seen you on AIM yet... I am VTECRACER1

[Stealthy]

looks like fun.

[topramn]

"Rumor" has it that the infamous "Tage" has been invited to this event and will be duking it out against the top tuners in the country...

i knew all along.. but i heard mixed info.. hasport car or your car??

[Stealthy]

Wow. GL Tage.

[Tage]

i knew all along.. but i heard mixed info.. hasport car or your car??

My car, however I'll likely be a driver for the HASport car as well (at least for the autox portion). It sure would suck if I beat myself. Ha!

[topramn]

you cant.. there is no team jumping allowed from my understanding of the rules..

[BTLD_LS1]

Jealous!

[ALLMTR_EF8]

From what I see is Tage the only harcore roadrace dude in PHX? In Orange County there are so many Honda Challenge guys and RR guys that it makes Drag Racing look like a joke!!!!! Kudos to Tage :)

[Tage]

you cant.. there is no team jumping allowed from my understanding of the rules..

Ah, I didn't realize that. In that case it will just be my car and I.

I talked to Dave on Friday and he's still working on the rules so I'm curious to see what the final version looks like.

[topramn]

From what I see is Tage the only harcore roadrace dude in PHX? In Orange County there are so many Honda Challenge guys and RR guys that it makes Drag Racing look like a joke!!!!! Kudos to Tage :)

no.. there are several honda challenge guys here in az.. as well as other road racers too.. tage catches the honda crowd eye because he has done more in that chassis than any other local driver... the driver of the ksport integra dc5 is also a local driver who is more frequent on the az240 forums.. we also have some d1 and nop drift licensed drivers that are local..

the arizona road racing market has grown largely in the last year but in the honda world, drag racing is still at the top in arizona.. being an official for the local road race scene and an avid import enthusiast, i do my best to make people aware of the events and hope that people can enjoy this side of the industry as much as seeing the guys zip down a straight line in 9 seconds..

it really just comes down to the fact that arizona has always been a few years behind cali in just about everything.. i have personally enjoyed road racing, drag racing, and even the car show side of the import scene for over 10 years now.. the best moment still to this day was seeing ed bergenholtz turn 9s in his crx with all interior in the car and no weight reductions..

[BlueTeg]

From what I see is Tage the only harcore roadrace dude in PHX?

In Orange County there are so many Honda Challenge guys

What exactly defines someone as a "hardcore roadrace dude".
You do know that he does not drive in race group, right? (not taking anything away from Tage, as he's an incredibly talented driver for Autocross and Time Attack)

Well when you have 10x the population and 10x bigger honda scene, its a pretty safe bet you'll have more Honda drivers participating road race events.

[Daddy_Digital]

i wanna go to this? im not familiar withe classes of cars. i have a stock ass crx. could i get in with an instructor?

[Tage]

/\/\ What Ramin (& Gabe) said...

There's lots of great drivers here locally and there's many more that are "hardcore". I currently just seem to be getting lots of press lately. As such, I'm trying to capitalize on my "5 minutes of fame" as much as I can. Some may call it bragging but I prefer to call it "marketing" of myself...

[ALLMTR_EF8]

I guess AZ scene does not get as much press as it should! But I didnt mean it as in Tage is the only one, but he is getting alot of attention at the time and sheding some light on the Arizona RR scene:thumbsup::thumbsup: Sorry if it sounded like I was only naming Tage as the only skilled driver but he is the only one Ive heared metioned out here.
