“BIG DADDY” DON GARLITS NAMED GRAND MARSHALL OF THE 2017 HEMMINGS MOTOR NEWS GREAT RACE PRESENTED BY HAGERTY

Sticky Post By On June 1, 2017

Florida native and drag racing legend will kick off the 2017 Great Race in Jacksonville, Florida on June 24

Chattanooga, TN. (June, 2017) – Great Race officials have announced that legendary drag racer “Big Daddy” Don Garlits has been named as Grand Marshall of the 2017 Hemmings Motor News Great Race presented by Hagerty. This year’s event will begin in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday, June 24 and make its way north along sections of the old Dixie Highway, to the finish line in Traverse City, Michigan on Sunday, July 2.

The Great Race is a time-speed-endurance rally which tests the limits of drivers, navigators and their classic vehicles. Only 1972 and earlier vehicles are permitted to participate in the Great Race, and vehicles as early as 1916 will make the 2,300-mile trek from Florida to Michigan vying to win a piece of the $150,000 purse. Event organizers work to keep the race challenging by changing its route annually, and this year’s route offers a lot of great scenery and visits to some of the finest car collections in the country. Lunch stops and overnight stops are hosted each day, and the cities and towns offer a festival-like welcoming party for the 120 race teams.

The start of the Great Race in Jacksonville, Florida is free to the public and offers hours of fun, as the racers line up on Main Street in the Historic Springfield section of downtown Jacksonville. The festivities kick off at 8am and the “Big Daddy” Don Garlits will wave the green flag at 10:30am.

“We’re honored that ‘Big Daddy’ Don Garlits has agreed to serve as the Grand Marshall of the 2017 Great Race,” said Corky Coker, CEO of Coker Tire. “His incredible personality and commitment to safety in racing are an inspiration to all.”

A fixture in drag racing nearly since its inception, Garlits is often looked upon as the father of the sport. Garlits built his first dragster in 1954 – a 1927 Ford T-Bucket with a 1948 Mercury engine, 1939 Ford transmission and a 1948 Ford rear axle – outdoors at his home in north Tampa. That car became the basis for the first of Garlits’ “slingshot” dragsters in which the driver was placed behind the rear axle. In 1970, Garlits suffered a traumatic foot injury when the transmission of the slingshot-style dragster he was driving exploded. This injury inspired him to relocate the engine and transmission behind the driver for safety, effectively inventing the modern Top Fuel car.

“The Great Race is a truly wonderful event that celebrates the passion that America still has for classic cars,” said Garlits. “I’m thrilled that Coker Tire asked me to be the Grand Marshall for the race this year. Coker does so much to support the car hobby that it’s nice to be able to give back.”

EASY LSA UPGRADE FROM SUPERCHARGERS ONLINE

Sticky Post By On May 30, 2017

Superchargers Online’s new LSA Performance Inlet lets Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1 and Cadillac CTS-V owners get more boost out of their superchargers with minimal effort.

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (May, 2017) – Superchargers Online, a leading distributor of superchargers and superchargers parts, is excited to announce its new LSA Performance Inlet. Built using brand new EATON factory parts, this performance inlet is a direct bolt-on upgrade for the Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1 and Cadillac CTS-V, and is available with two different size ZPE/SCOL GripTec® performance pulleys.

The LSA engine was one of General Motors’ first factory supercharged V8 engines, and when it hit the streets in 2008 under the hood of the Cadillac CTS-V, it didn’t take tuners long to start trying to extract more power. Until now, increasing the boost output from the LSA’s EATON TVS1900 supercharger meant using a hydraulic press to remove the factory pulley and then either press on a new pulley or a hub that can accept bolt-on pulleys. Now, Superchargers Online has taken the work out of the LSA pulley upgrade with its new bolt-on LSA Performance Inlet.

Superchargers Online’s LSA Performance Inlet is built using brand new EATON factory parts including a new inlet casting, new bearings, and a new bypass actuator. Increased boost comes by way of the preinstalled ZPE/SCOL GripTec® pulley which features ZPE’s patented micro machining process for increased friction between the pulley and drive belt to reduce slippage. Multiple pulley options are also available to allow owners to match the boost increase to a variety of engine upgrades – from 2.55-inches down to 2.38-inches for up to a 5psi gain.

The LSA Performance Inlet is a direct bolt-on upgrade for the 2009-2013 Cadillac CTS-V, the 2012-2015 Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1, and the Chevrolet Performance LSA crate engine, will require recalibration of the ECU. Made in the USA and backed by a 30-day warranty against manufacturer defects, the inlet comes with all parts necessary for a complete installation, including new mounting hardware, a new EATON Solid Isolator, and RTV sealant. The LSA Performance Inlet is not legal for use on pollution-controlled vehicles.

The show also features a large vendor midway packed with some of the top companies in the hot rod and performance parts industry, a huge model car contest, and a “Cacklefest” which consists of a line of vintage front engine nitro-fueled dragsters that are all fired up at the same time, putting on a great show of flames, fumes, and horsepower.

The famous LA Roadsters Car Club got its start in 1957 as a small group of incredibly dedicated enthusiasts of pre-war roadsters. The club has maintained its relatively small roster with 28 active members 11 Life time members, 5 honorary members and 19 associates’ members from all over the country. LA Roadsters are easy to spot at events thanks to their traditional uniform of red shirts and white pants.

The show opens to the public on Saturday, June 17 and is open from 7am to 5pm and 7am to 4pm on Sunday. General admission for attendees ages 13 and up is $20, children ages 6-12 is $10, and children ages 5 and under get in free.

Honeywell Garrett Unveils New Name, Same Quality Engineering

Sticky Post By On May 10, 2017

Formerly Turbo by Garrett, historic brand changes its name and expands its product offerings

TORRANCE, Calif. – May , 2017 – The Garrett name which has been synonymous with turbocharging for more than 60 years in high-performance and aftermarket circles, has been rebranded Honeywell Garrett to reflect the full global portfolio of Honeywell engineering technologies which have been driving the historic brand for the past 20 years.

Turbo By Garrett, the longtime industry-leading brand of turbochargers for automotive and industrial applications is now Honeywell Garrett across all global regions. The rebranding changes only how the portfolio of replacement and performance turbochargers goes to market. Its existing Honeywell engineering and development teams which have been responsible for some of the most exciting innovations in turbocharger technology during the past several decades remains intact. The Honeywell Garrett brand will continue to supply the independent and performance aftermarket with high-quality turbochargers while drawing upon the full resources of Honeywell Aerospace and Honeywell Transportation Systems.

Garrett got its start in Los Angeles in 1936 in a small storefront on the now-famous Melrose Avenue. Founding company president, John ‘Cliff’ Garrett, started the firm to conduct research into pressurized cabins for passenger flight. The company developed the pressurized cabin system for the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, the first bomber so-equipped for high altitude flight.

In the 1950s, Garrett was asked to lead a development team in applying aerospace technology to an off-highway need from the Caterpillar Company for one of its earth movers. After a successful launch of the industry’s first automotive turbocharger, the parent company spun off the turbo business off into what would become Garrett Automotive. Garrett Turbos powered the first production turbocharged car, the Oldsmobile Jetfire Turbo as well as the Corvair Monza Turbo, the first turbocharged car to ever win at Indianapolis, the first turbo car to win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the first mass production turbo for diesel engines with the Mercedes-Benz 300SD.

Garrett became part of the Honeywell corporation when its parent company, Allied-Signal acquired the Honeywell brand in 1999 and changed its name to Honeywell to take advantage of that company’s superior brand recognition. Honeywell Garrett has been behind some of the largest advances in turbocharging technology in the world such as variable geometry turbochargers, also known as Variable Nozzle Technology (VNT) which allows the vanes of the compressor side of the turbo to pivot to the optimum angle for any given turbo speed. Honeywell Garrett also holds the patent for single-cartridge, dual ball bearing technology which allows a turbo to spin much more freely, reducing the boost threshold.

“It is important for us as a company to project a unified front to both our industrial customers and our aftermarket and enthusiast customers,” said Eric Fraysse, Vice President and general manager, Aftermarket Honeywell Transportation Systems. “This rebrand allows us to do just that while providing the same levels of quality and innovation that our clients around the world have come to expect.”

Honeywell Garrett’s second generation to its extremely popular line of GTX-series turbos utilizes a great of aerospace-derived technology and experience to markedly increase the horsepower range of its series of turbos as well as reduce undesirable things such as boost creep and spool-up time. Standard features of the Garrett GTX Series Gen II lineup include water-cooled center housing rotating assemblies, ceramic ball bearings for additional responsiveness, new high-flow compressor housings, a fully machined compressor housing inlet, ported shroud, and outlet, and several options for turbine housings to ensure proper installation.

“The Garrett GTX Gen II series of turbochargers is our most significant update in almost a decade. We are using advanced technology made available by our Honeywell Aerospace business to help design and manufacture turbo solutions that have made Honeywell a performance turbocharging leader for more than 60 years,” said Fraysse.

The new GTX Gen II lineup is backward-compatible and completely interchangeable with first GTX GEN I products and even Garrett’s standard GT product line. In addition to the performance upgrades, the finish of the castings has also been updated to be more uniform reflecting the quality in the product.

Los Angeles, Calif. (May 1st, 2017) – The Petersen Automotive Museum has opened its latest exhibition in the Bruce Meyer Family Gallery, “Seeing Red: 70 Years of Ferrari.” The exhibit is a celebration of seven decades of beautiful and fast automobiles and the man, Enzo Ferrari, who brought them to the attention of the world via sheer force of will.

The exhibit opened to the public on Saturday, April 29th, 2017. It will run through April of 2018.

Few brands have captured the imagination of the world more than Ferrari. For 70 years, Enzo Ferrari’s prancing horses have thrilled car enthusiasts both young and old with their racing and road cars. To celebrate the Italian automaker’s 70th Anniversary, and through the leadership of Bruce Meyer, “Seeing Red” features a collection of 11 of the rarest and finest road and race Ferraris, all in its signature red paint. “We’re so thrilled to bring some of the world’s most beautiful Ferraris to the Petersen,” said Bruce Meyer, founding chairman of the Petersen’s Board of Directors. “Seeing that Rosso Corsa paint and the beautiful curves of the body work is always enough to make your heart skip a beat. ‘Seeing Red’ will be one of the most significant gatherings of Ferraris in the world and I’m so pleased to be able to share it with the public in our gallery.”

The exhibition opened with a grand reception on Thursday, April 27th at the Petersen. The exclusive event included a special tribute to legendary racer, Phil Hill, hosted by Hill’s son, Derek Hill.

“This new exhibit is another example of how the Petersen views cars, as art, and nothing is more appropriate than red Ferrari models,” said Terry Karges, Executive Director of the Petersen Automotive Museum. “We’re confident this exhibit will helps us continue our success and really get people talking and learning about Ferrari.”
