07/20/09 - NASA GTS3 Race Weekend at Autobahn South Course
We had our maiden outing with the new car and wing this weekend and had a blast. Saturday went very well with fast times in practice, qualifying, and the race. I was only able to manage 3rd in the first race, as I made a point of not being overy aggressive. But I was still able to put down times near the top of the class and was very excited about the results given it was the first race. Unfortunately, the weekend was cut short after body contact in the second race caused a tie rod failure. Lesson learned and a good time had none the less.
One of the primary goals of the weekend was to get good feedback on the wing, and I must say I think we accomplished that. The wing was primarily tested at very high angles of attack in order to put the most possible stress on it.

09/06/09 - NASA GTS3 Gingerman Race Weekend
After a good initial run at Mid-Ohio we developed a new set of uprights and made a few execution changes to the element itself. The weekend of testing went well and we learned a great deal. Scott Berkowitz did a great job with a first and second place finish. Finally, the uprights, adjustment apparatus, and element itself have reached their final stage of development. Also, congratulations Scott on a new GTS3 track record!

10/22/09 - NASA GTS3 Mid-Ohio Race Weekend
In the final race weekend in the wing's initial development life, the weather and conditions were far from ideal, but Scott brought home some great results. A CM and overall win on Saturday were a great way to end the race season. The prototype, which ran four good race weekends, will be on its way back to us soon for evaluation. Wings for the first batch are starting to come together, and we can't wait to get back on the track next season! Thanks for development help and good runs Scott!

07/18/10 - NASA GTS3 Race Weekend at Autobahn South Course
We had no fewer than FIVE GTS cars running our wing at the NASA Midwest Autobahn race, and had the tack record fall to cars with our wing - twice - over the course of the weekend. Congratulations to Jack Money of Elephant Motorsports to setting the new GTS3 track record with his day old Brooks Motorsport Wing! Also, congratulations to both Roy Lipner and Jack Money for their respective victories. It was great to get out and talk to such a contingent of customers, and leave with new ideas...
