A new contender in the Time Attack Game: Fortune Auto Street Tire Car
Official Press Release: April 5th 2010
Fortune Auto USA will join forces this year with Atlantic Motorsports to form a 2 car team. The new team will be competing at all east coast events for 2010. Whit Staples will return with his 2005 Mitsubishi Evolution running in the AWD modified class.
Fortune Auto USA is also bringing a fresh new contending car to the time attack ranks. Fortune Auto's new 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution RS will be competing in the Street Tire Class. This new vehicle is built to class limits and will be pushing the performance boundaries of the class to new limits. NASA veteran Todd Reid will be piloting the new Street Class Evo making a strong effort to clench the east coast championship for 2010.
Pre-season development of both cars has been very promising. More power, more aero and more suspension development should provide for a strong and successful season for Fortune Auto USA / Atlantic Motorsports.
The first Redline time attack event that Fortune Auto USA will be attending is: Round 2 held on April 11th at New Jersey Motorsports Park.
