News from Precisionline Fuel Injectors, who the ASNU Disributors for Canada, Force-Fed Racing have reconditioned fuel injectors in 2 racing cars right now but would like the ASNU high flow injectors soon. One of the cars raced last Saturday at Mission Raceway near Vancouver and Forcefed have this to say “Last weekend sort of got rained out but we were able to make a couple passes and ended up running an 8.1 in the 1/4 mile which is a new record for us and solidifies the title of Canada’s fastest rotary powered car. We hope to head out again this weekend to see if we can break our record again”

Barrel Sprinting
Barrel Sprinting is a simple fun form of motor racing that anyone can do. It’s a cross between drag racing, drifting and precision handling. At a Barrel Sprint day everyone is equal and no-one has the advantage of having done it before.
The course is laid out in such a way that two cars compete. The object is to round a number of barrels in different directions, some simply by skirting past and others by going 360’ plus. It’s all very frantic and terrific fun.
The course stretches out over 100 metres and has only three barrels - but it’s a lot harder than it sounds!

Fueltopia
We have now joined fueltopia and have had already some great comments including this one by Laura Bonafont & Walton Smith, thanks guys!:
Myself and Walton will happily recommend ASNU. The JapPerformanceParts Subaru has been running their injectors for nearly a year now and they are fantastic. At Nispro Performance we have used them on quite a few recent engine builds and we’ve had nothing but praise from our customers for their great performance!

Some nice pics found:
Top pic is of our ASNU Specialist Roger Friend racing a Lotus 47 at Brands Hatch in 1987
The middle pic is a JPS Lotus 78/, driven by Mario Andretti to 5th place in the ‘77 Argentine GP and Gunnar Nilsson to another 5th place in Brazil that year. The car was also pedalled less successfully by Hector Rebaque, although it enjoyed happier days in the Aurora British F1 championship. It was acquired by Bill Friend, and raced by his nephew Roger in Historic F1 events.
Roger, who now works at ASNU, is seen on his hands and knees examining the broken rear stub axle that sent the Lotus off into the weeds, fortunately without damage to car or driver……Phil likes to think he is checking the Injectors!
The last pic is of Mario Andretti in his glory days, just a classic shot!

Bob has this to say on JJ’s latest race at the 2013 1st Round at Rockingham
JJ Gets 2 out of 2
JJ second year of car racing still only 15 years old
Well this is the first Fiesta Junior race of 2013 and what a cracker.JJ was going to try his hardest to do well this year and use his experience that he gained last year.With new tyres for this year it was not going to be easy, The tyres are now a tread-ed race tyre from Dunlop, last year was a Dunlop Slick.
First touch of the track was Saturday Morning with a 15 minute Free Practice, JJ was trying out the new tyres and finding his way round the circuit. Last time JJ had turned a wheel on this track was when he won here last year, he has done no testing here at Rockinghamin 2013.JJ laied in second place after free practice by .005 of a second.
Saturday afternoon was into Qualifying. JJ had made some adjustment to the car between Free practice and qualifying. At the end of Qualifying saw JJ on Pole Position by .513 of a second and was still trying to find the grip with his new tyres.
Sunday morning here we go with race 1. JJ on Pole and 1 championship point in the bag, looking good “Oh No” lights out and JJ bogged down all the way to last. oil slick on the track cement dust to dry it up, car weaving around in front it was going to be hard for JJ to get back in front. JJ with his terrier like racing determination fought his way through the field a little cuddle with Alfonso on the way, by 1/2 race distance JJ was up to second, with his cool attitude slid past to take the lead, now in front JJ got the hammer down and won by 9 seconds in a 15 minute race.
On to race 2. A lovely cold sunny afternoon and JJ on pole again. This time JJ got away clean with a good start, lead into turn one, he controlled the race, just took it calmly and made sure not to loose the lead. Car handling well JJ was able to start putting in quick lap times, with his superb driving JJ won the race by 18 seconds and his slowest lap time of the race was quicker than all the other competitors
JJ goes to round 2, Snetterton, as championship leader with 16 points for race win and 1 point for pole and 1 point for fastest lap x 2 so 2 x 18 = 36 points. This is the maximum points score. No one has ever done this in Fiesta Juniors. Second place in the championship points are 14 + 13 = 27. JJ has a 9 point lead
This was truly an amazing performance by such a young man. The tyres would be 2-21/2 or even more seconds a lap slower than a slick. last years time was 1.46.2 on slicks. JJ time in 2013 was 1.46.8. So JJ slick tyre time could have been 1.44.3 or faster ( who knows ) this would have put him sixth on the grid anyway, in the senior Fiesta Race.
