#1 of 1 NASA-NE Beaverun Raceway Road Races May 19-20 by paisan May 19, 2007 (4:49 pm)

Well in our first points race of the year Team IAC driving our 1994 Subaru Legacy Turbo Sport Sedan won the PTE Class at the NASA Northeast Season Opener! After having some setbacks during winter testing at NASA-MA's VIR races where we suffered from a front wheel bearing failure as well as a cracked downpipe which caused boost creap. Since Feb the team has worked on a new exhuast system and wheel bearing repairs. It all came together and after arriving at 5am in Beaver Falls, PA we were ready to race! Qualifying 23 out 30 cars and first out of 2 cars in the PTE class Adam Mouradian would move ahead steadily throughout the race up to the 19th position overall and nearly a 1/2 a lap ahead of the 2nd place Saturn SC2 in PTE.   At one point a Honda Challenge CRX driven by a former teamate tried to overtake on the inside of a turn and then slammed the right side of the Subaru Legacy. Unfortunately that CRX driver didn't realize when you try to push a 3100lb car off the road with a 2000lb car you know who is gonna lose... The CRX bounced off the Legacy and Adam continued un-effected by the incident.   Overall this was a really great boost for the Team and for Subaru in general. Realize that this car has 150k miles on the drivetrain which is unchanged from stock right down to the paper air filter! Mods list includes: Safety Cage Gutted Interior, except for doors and dash JIC Coilovers SS Brake Lines Hawk Blue Race Pads F Hawk Black Race Pads R Kumho Ecsta V710 215-40-16 Race Tires 2.5RS 16x7 Rims Oddessey Superlight Battery, relocated to the trunk AC Removal Moonroof Removal   The team is very excited about the season ahead and look forward to going to the NASA Nationals in Sept at the Mid-Ohio Raceway where we will hopefully take the podium in PTE.   Special thanks to our Sponsors including Subaru, Putnam Signs, K&S Brakes and IAC, Inc. This race and all our races are dedicated to Michael Dassing our Crew Chief who was killed in a motorcycle accident a few years ago and never made it to this our inaugural season.   -mike Motorsports and Tuning Host
