Major supporter and engine supplier Crawford Performance was on hand to support Zenkai’s efforts. It paid off with driver Thomas Smith beating the old street class record by 5 seconds.

The Zenkai Motorsports STi features off the shelf Super Racing coilovers. The combination of quality parts has paid off as this STi debuted earlier this season and is already atop the podium after only a handful of events.

Super Lap Battle Exhibition in Vegas

Posted on by

This past weekend I took a trip to Las Vegas, NV for Super Lap Battle exhibition race. Competitors included a couple of the top contenders from each class.

TEIN was well represented with 4 of the 9 cars running Super Racing coilovers. This was an invite only exhibition race held along with XDC drift and Remix car show. There were a good amount of drift competitors, spectators, show cars, and vendors during the one day event held at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The 2.39 mile road course consisted of a good mix of high and low speed corners.

I was out there to support our sponsored vehicles and check out the action. TEIN sponsored vehicles included:

Crawford Performance STi in Unlimited AWD

Evasive Motorsports EVO 9 in Limited AWD

SportCar Motion Civic in Limited FF

and new comer Zenkai Motorsports STI in Street AWD

Each of the cars are using Super Racing Coilovers. Crawford and Evasive are both using custom valved setups with increased spring rates. SportCar Motion and Zenkai are using off the shelf kits with higher spring rates (spring rate based on vehicle setup and tire choice). With more testing and feedback we can revalve the off the shelf kits if needed which is a service made available to all TEIN users.
