Pastrana, Mirra, Comrie-Picard and Rally America at Pacific Grand Prix, Charity Race for Ronald McDonald House
Seattle, WA (April 9th, 2010) – Pacific Grand Prix will proudly host the biggest stars of the Rally America Championship Series on April 22nd, just prior to the Olympus Rally event later that weekend. Subaru Rally Team USA drivers Travis Pastrana and Dave Mirra along with NOS Energy Drink driver Andrew Comrie-Picard and others will be on hand to promote the Olympus Rally round of this National Series. A press stage will take place utilizing the .8 mile, 14 turn PGP asphalt course and just prior to the completion of one lap the Rally drivers will be diverted and will launch their cars up the 50 foot high embankment that surrounds the facility onto a temporary dirt course that encompasses the grounds.
In addition, a public charity function in support of the Ronald McDonald House will pit 12 lucky spectators against the likes of Pastrana and other Rally professionals on hand including Mirra, Comrie-Picard, Van Way, Keeney, Cavett and the National Guard sponsored entry of Mark Fox, to name a few. This Mini Grand Prix special event will utilize the full PGP circuit as well as the fleet of high performance Birel Rental race karts. It isn’t often that the public has a chance to race with such an exciting group of X-treme drivers. A donation of $5.00 will go to the Ronald McDonald House for each chance to have your name drawn as one of the 12 to compete. This is a lot of fun, it is for a great cause and it should not be missed.
NOS Energy Drink will be on hand with the Need For Speed – Shift Video game “Road to Formula D” promotion. Games 2 U will also have an interactive display set up and the factory teams will have the full transport support centers out on display.

We just completed our first MP2300 TVS supercharger system install. Pretty impressive. 564 RWHP on a Mustang dyno. We will be offering this package to select Chevrolet dealers here in the Northwest.
RULE THE STREETS! Camaro ZRS, think of it as a ZL1 Camaro on Steroids! Only a handful of '69 Camaro ZL1's were built. Today with the addition of our MP2300 TVS supercharger system, your new Camaro can outperform the legendary ZL1 with no sacrifice in MPG or drivability. Horsepower as well as torque are improved off idle to redline, giving more "power under the curve" than any other supercharger system available...anywhere!
Camaro supercharger systems are complete with all components necessary for installation. Included in the kit is the cast aluminum intake manifold, factory "push-lock connectors" are utilized in the fuel system for installation ease, intercooler core, coolant circulation pump, heat exchanger and all necessary hardware to make a complete installation package. This system does not require any hood modifications. This bad boy makes a real-world 492 rear wheel HP, and 455 Ft. lbs. of rear wheel torque!
Other components include new high capacity fuel injectors, and fuel rails. The hand held computer programmer communications with the factory ECU for proper calibration of the supercharger system. A limited extended powertrain warranty is available for customer peace of mind. Give us a call for more information on this exceptional kit, you'll be glad you did!
