When You're Hot, You're Hot Former ADRL Pro Nitrous driver Jamie Hancock is back in the driver’s seat again and is hot with just three races under his belt back in the old corvette he is three for three. After the misfortune of wrecking his new firebird he and his dad James decided to outfit the old corvette with a new Automated Racing Technologies TFC5 system. James explained after he won the third race in a row that once you race with the ART system that you just can’t go back to switches and relays, they are just to inconsistent. The consistency of the ART TFC5 system and the time savings leaves you open to opportunities that conventional wiring just doesn’t have. Jamie is a very good example of forward thinking ProMod future, he is a very talented driver and let’s not leave out James, his dad and tuner, he certainly has a handle on that car. Therefore, we here at Automated Racing Technologies extends a huge congratulations to the Hancock family on their three for three!!!!

(July 13, 2009) We at Automated Racing Technologies would like to thank out latest customer Pat Stoken and the Stoken boys, and also congratulate them on their first final at Topeka Kansas. After two disappointing losses in Topeka the Jim Halsey 68 Camaro set its eyes on the Pat Stoken 68 Camaro. After just a few passes in the new car, he found himself in the finals. The being the third race on the car and to already go to a career best 3.91. This is exciting. The turned out to be the low ET and the top MPH pass of the meet. Unfortunately a broken starter drive cut the day short in the staging lanes before the finals. But we here at Automated Racing Technologies know these guys race hard and he will be in the winners circle soon.

(July 13, 2009) After talking to Casey this week, he told me that Jim touched some buttons on our touch screen and dialed in over 5 hundredths on the car. Now imagine that after the car went a 3.96 - to touch the screen and get a 3.91. Also, he told me that Pat was getting comfortable with the system now and that after racing with it some that they would never want to go back to racing without it again. This is what we strive for - happy customers with extremely fast cars.

(April 16, 2009) Congratulations to Jim, Cathy, Eric, and Patrick on their spectacular performance at SGMP last weekend. To win an ADRL race is an achievement in itself,but to go 3.8's along with it shows how well prepared this team is for that day and the future. And imagine that this is only the second race with 2 finals and 1 win.

(April 16, 2009) We also would like to say that Mike Johnson from Precision Racecars out of Douglasville Ga debuted David Ellsbury's new beautiful Pro Nitrous Mustang equipped with an Automated Racing Technologies electrical system and a John Kaazey power plant. It had a very good first time out and lots of potential for the future.

(April 16, 2009) It was good to see Jamie Hancock back out again in their old Pro Nitrous ADRL Championship Corvette, while Mike Johnson of Precision Racecars out of Douglasville, GA. is constructing them a new car. Automated Racing Technologies fitted a new electrical system in the old corvette per James and Jamie Hancock's request. They expressed that racing without an Automated Racing Technologies system was just not a place in history that they would ever want to go back to.

(April 16, 2009) The Automated Racing Technologies system sponsored Chris Patrick in the 1941 Willys. They had a fairly good weekend, finally getting the suspension on the car straightened out and the car making a full pass with a 4.13 seconds, while staying qualified in the Pro Nitrous Division until the last three cars of which one bumped him out. They are looking forward to really being able to lean on the car now, improving it's ET beyond the 4.0 range where it was last year into the 3.90's.
