Night Race at Firebird Raceway

Road trip time!!
3 companies loaded EZ-ups, tables, display products into our minivan and hit the road to Phoenix.
As I posted in last blog, 5ZIGEN USA had a display booth with INGS and Carbonetics in the Arizona NASA night race event at Firebird International Raceway, April 10. It was long event, but a lot of fun. We started setting up our booth from 10am (auto-x and practice run were already begun), then packed up after midnight. KJ from INGS USA, Kiyo from Carbonetics and I didn't feel we were there so long because we talked with many people, watched races, drifting, car show section, etc. It was no time to be bored. The 6-hour drive back to LA was little hard for middle age men, but it was fun weekend for us. We all thank NASA Arizona staff having us in such nice event!! Hope we come back with more industry friends next year!

The drag strip is converted to the main straight when it is used as road race course in Firebird.


It was busy all day and night. Thank you for visiting our booth!!

The item got the most attention in this event was ProRacer Header for 350Z/G35. The high craftsmanship of the header impressed a lot of people. (Part# BNIEX05-P, MSRP $1050.00)

ARD Roadmaster Ride driving shoes were poplar item among time attackers and drifters.

A ProRacer GN+ user in drift section - the matte bronze finish matches with the red body very well

There are many FN01R-C users in drift paddock

Blue S14 kouki + titanium FN01R-C in the car show section - the sizes look 18x8.5 +30(with spacers?) front, 18x9.5 +15 rear

DynoComp - a 5ZIGEN dealer in Scottsdale - participated in the time attack with their STi. 5ZIGEN dealers in Phoenix area is very hard core, but also friendly to beginners.
