One of our good local customers brought in some Red Bull from Thailand today. I’m not sure it’s legal to sell in the US, and after drinking it I can understand why. I’m a caffeine junky (2 Red Bulls a day), and this stuff had everyone in the office wired and then some. Definitely much more potent than US Red Bull, and rather than being carbonated in a can, it comes in a more syrup like form in a glass container. The extra energy is always great, but I think we’re all in trouble once the caffeine crash happen though…..
This weekend the Titan gang headed out to Classic Audi for the annual Challenge Rally. This rally benefits the Russell Home for Children and pits some of the local car clubs against one another to see who can bring the most participants. The route took us over 100 miles of Central Florida’s best driving roads, some even including elevation changes, a rare sight in a nearly flat state. Bottle took his 335i, Nero took the Camouflage 996tt, and I was in my yellow 996tt. Many of us got lost, all of us where driving at speeds that likely exceeded the posted limits, and overall we had a great time. We look forward to participating in other great charity events throughout the year. BMW took the participation trophy with 30 cars to Porsches 29 cars. Over $4,000 was raised to benefit the charity, making the rally a great success.
This weekend the Titan crew was invited to attend Le Belle Macchine d’Italia at Daytona International Speedway. Lamborghini of Orlando invited us to the event which included both an instructed driving session, and individual ride-arounds in the latest offers by Lamborghini. Bottle, Nero and Eric made the trek out to the track, arriving a bit late they missed the scheduled rides around the 2.5-mile trioval with 31 degree banks. They did however get plenty of great photos of the track day, including a very expensive mistake in one of the few Maserati MC-12s here in the states. The pictures do the talking, enjoy.
This weekend at ADRL’s Dragstock V, Titan Motorsports became the first ADRL 10.5 car in the teens with a blistering 4.158 @ 172.67. After this amazing performance in pre-race testing, the team then went on to qualify #1 with a 4.184 @ 173.32 in Friday night’s qualifying session. After advancing to the Semi-finals with victories over Kenny Kneece and Rick Fleck, Titan’s day ended in the semi-finals with an uncharacteristic red-light by Gary White giving Darrin Hoyle the win. With a very consistent weekend of passes in the 20’s or quicker, Titan moved to 4th place in the ADRL Battle of the Belts. The season ending ADRL race takes place in Ennis, Texas on October 24-25. As with all ADRL races, we will be sending out free tickets to this event, email jons@titanmotorsports.com with your mailing address.
