As many of you already know, Titan Motorsports will be making exhibition runs at the upcoming NSCRA event on December 6th. What you may not know is that the Copper Supra may not be the only thing worth checking out at the Titan booth. Titan Girls Halie and Amanda will be there talking to our fans, taking pictures, and participating in the bikini contest in hopes of becoming the next Miss NSCRA. Stop by the booth this Sunday and say hi to the girls and the Titan Crew.

Festivals of Speed held it’s first event this weekend in Miami, FL. We had the pleasure of displaying at their Orlando show last month, and were extended the same opportunity for their Miami show. The event benefited the Michael Fux Injured Officers Assistant Fund, a charity devoted to helping officers who have endured nearly fatal, debilitating injuries who are unable to work for an extended period of time. Michael Fux also displayed his wonderful collection of modern exotics, many of which have been custom ordered in unique color combinations.
The event was kicked off on Saturday with a Yacht hop at the Epic Hotel and Marina in downtown Miami. Guests were treated to cocktails and decadent deserts while exploring a handful of luxury yachts tied up next to a courtyard filled with exotic cars and motorcycles. This yacht hop kickoff was followed by a rooftop reception at the Viceroy Hotel, which features one of the largest infinity pools in Florida which seemed to flow off the edge of the 15th story of the building. The views from the pool deck were breathtaking and allowed guests an opportunity to meet and interact with other attendees while in an intimate setting.
Sundays marked the finale of the weekend with a great display of exotic cars in Miami’s beautiful Bay Front Park. The downtown location featured the Miami skyline as a backdrop in one direction, and the port of Miami in the other, providing for some great photo opportunities. In attendance were 3 Bugatti Veyrons (including a GrandSport), 2 Lamborghini LP670-4 SV’s, A Ferrari Enzo and FXX edition, as well as countless other priceless exotic cars, customs and classics.
This past week was Le Belle Macchine D ‘Italia, an annual event that takes place at the famed Daytona International Speedway. Every year hundreds of exotic and Italian cars from all over the east coast travel to Daytona to stretch their cars legs on the speedways’ 3.56 mile sports car course. The event lasts 3 days and includes both a Ferrari Challenge club race, as well as a driver’s education for those drivers wanting to test their personal vehicles on the track with an instructor present to keep things safe. The event also has gathered the support of manufactures and dealerships that bring out their latest performance vehicles for customers to see in the flesh, as well as experience on the track.
Lamborghini brought out their latest wares in the LP670-4 SV and LP550-2 with famed test driver Valentino Balboni providing test rides for lucky potential customers. It was truly a sight to see Valentino using every bit of the LP670-4s capabilities as he drove the car to 10/10ths using every bit of the course on a white knuckle ride for passengers.
Bentley also brought out its latest Continental GT Super Sport, a high performance version of the CGT that is ready for the track with large ceramic brakes, a deleted rear seat, and of course more horsepower. This great car not only performs like no other Bentley produced, but looks the part as well with aggressive color combinations, carbon interior package, black wheels, and updated styling to let curious onlookers know this isn’t your everyday country club Bentley.
I would also like to take a moment to personally thank Jon Miller and Eric who allowed me to experience Daytona in the passenger seat of their Ferrari 360 Challenge car, it was truly a ride I’ll never forget. It was a pleasure to see so many great cars on track being driven how they were meant to be driven, instead of collecting dust in a collector’s warehouse. It’s not every weekend you see Ferrari race cars, F40s, Bugatti Veyrons and Lamborghinis all sharing one of the most famous race tracks in America. If you get the opportunity to attend the event next year I would highly recommend it, it’ll definitely get a mark on my calendar.
In preparation for the upcoming NSCRA event on Dec 6th, the crew at Titan Motorsports has been ripping apart the Copper Supra, to make sure it is running at the top of its game. Here are a few snaps of this week’s progress.
Nitrous Express has been supporting all of our racing programs since the very beginning; well today they surprised us with an overnight box full of goodies to update our nitrous systems. This would be the first time since we switch over to the 91mm setup that Brett has the opportunity to setup the nitrous kits as needed for this turbo/converter combination.
Also it seems our Strange Brakes were not letting the front wheel spin freely, so we are having them rebuilt. More of the little things that seem to be holding this car back for some time now are finally being addressed.
This weekend Titan was invited to attend the 5th Sibling Rivalry (SR5) show in Jacksonville, FL. What started out as a car show at a Toyota dealer is now a yearly event at a parking garage in the heart of downtown Jax. We decided to take two Supras to the event: Dr.Nicks “recovery room” TRD wide-body Supra that has been featured in both Modified magazine here in the US and Top Performance in the UAE, as well as our own copper Supra drag car. The crew of SR5 gave us a spot right in the heart of the action on the top floor of the parking garage. I have been to car shows in garages before, but never with a backdrop of a downtown skyline like we had for this event. The show got started just before dusk and went into the night. Not only did they have local DJs there, but there was a performance by the Jacksonville Jaguars Drum-Line as well and Dr. Sam Beckett. To top it all off Panda Express was at the event giving out free food. This was a great show with a really nice mix of cars, while it’s primarily Toyota, Lexus and Scion, there was a few other imports (Honda, Acura, Nissan and Volkswagen) and the style of cars was everything from VIP to all out race-cars. If you get the chance to attend a Sibling Rivalry event you should definitely check it out!
THIS IS IT!!! THE RETURN OF A TITAN!!! We will be at Palm Beach International Raceway December 6th to help the NSCRA close a great season with a historical performance. Our World Famous Toyota Supra driven by Gary White will be there making exhibition runs for the crowd’s enjoyment. Make sure you stop by our trailer!
This weekend we had the pleasure of checking out the Festivals of Speed here in Orlando . This annual car show takes place at the Ritz Carlton Orlando and features some of the finest cars in the country, many of which would never be seen if it weren’t for such a great show. This event has become a showcase for the finest luxuries in life, and features displays from some of the most well respected brands in the world including Bugatti, Rolls Royce, Panerai, and Lamborghini. The event encompasses the entire weekend and starts with a kickoff party in a private jetport featuring aircrafts, boats, cars, and many premium brand displaying and sampling their products. We’ve always enjoyed attending as spectators, however this year we were provided the privilege of not just attending, but displaying some of our great automotive creations as well. We brought a wide variety of cars to showcase the diversity of services we are able to provide here at Titan Motorsports.
The cars in our booth included : James Stewart Sr. Completely Custom 66 Chevrolet Chevelle, Green 997 Porsche GT3RS, Titan Motorsports Yellow 996tt, Titan Motorsports Camouflage 996tt race car, Matte Black Renntech CLK Black Series, BMW Z4M Coupe and Dr. Nicks TRD Widebody Supra.
I would like to take a moment to personally thank our great clients who put their cars on display, as well as Leslie for making sure the booth looked great at all times. We’re looking forward to displaying at many future shows both locally and across the state, and can’t wait for the next Festivals of Speed here in Orlando.

This past weekend, October 17th, Bradenton Motorsports Park hosted the “Dead Hookers 11” event. The event is mainly dominated by Domestics, but there were a handful of Imports there as well. One in particular was this Black Supra driven by David Penton.
David has been a customer and a friend of Titan for many years now and always represents TMS to the fullest. David’s Supra was amongst the fastest at the event, posting a 9.56@150mph.
Props to David for not only representing Titan Motorsports at the event, but for representing Imports in general, and holding it down with the domestic crowd.
This past weekend, Bradenton Motorsports Park hosted the 1st annual Import Face-Off. There have been quite a few Import Face-Off events throughout the country already this year, with 22 shows total for the entire tour. The Bradenton event overall was somewhat mediocre though. Attendance was a bit low, but many of the cars there were of good quality, and the hot body contest was a plus too. The most disappointing aspect of the event was the fact that the proper preparations for the track was over looked, causing less than ideal conditions. Hopefully the Import Face-Off events will return next year and hopefully is improved upon. We look forward to next year’s tour. Here are a few pictures of the event:
