The 2017 race season is here...sort of!

The 2017 race season is here...sort of! CTS-V Racing will be at Lime Rock Park in Lakeville,Connecticut tomorrow, April 14th for a Test n' Tune Track Day session. Driver, Alan Cohen looks forward to getting back on track with the Patriot Missile after a long winter here in New York. Adjustments and a few upgrades are being implemented, so keep an eye out for photos and news updates.

Welcome to the Team

As NASA Eastern National Championships approach, CTS-V Racing is preparing the Patriot Missile for competition.  With unexpected engine failure at our last event, Gevork Alexanian, owner and Lead Performance Engineer at GevPwr will be flying into New York from Signal Hill, California to rebuild and tune the engine.

In efforts to get the Patriot Missile's engine rebuilt in time for Nationals, CTS-V Racing would like to thank our new sponsors for their generous endorsements- Trick Flow, Circle D Specialties and Thompson Motorsports.  

We are eager to get to NASA Eastern Nationals September 22-25th to demonstrate parts performance of our respective sponsors.

The Patriot Missile Places 3rd at NJMP

CTS-V Racing's Patriot Missile took to the Lightning Course at New Jersey Motorsports Park this past weekend for its first time as a full road racing car.  Even with the inclement weather, the Patriot Missile finished 3rd place in the ST2 class and 3rd place in the TT2 class.

The Patriot Missile Transformation

Winter is almost over in the Northeast and that means the 2016 race season is right around the corner.  The Patriot Missile is currently at GevPwr Headquarters in Signal Hill, California undergoing a full race car transformation. 

Phase I & II (Completed)- Welding specialists have stripped down and caged the Patriot Missile with overbuilt safety equipment to ensure that we’ll never have to worry about passing tech.

Phase III (In Progress)- GevPwr is in the process of removing all unnecessary weight (60 pounds of wiring and computers currently removed) 

Phase IV- Since all factory computers are removed, GevPwr will rewire the entire Patriot Missile to be fully functional again.

Phase V- The Patriot Missile will have larger coolers installed for engine oil, power steering and the intercooler; allowing the Patriot Missile to run cooler so it can stay out in a track session longer.

Phase VI- A larger, more efficient supercharger will be installed for more power.

Phase VII- An updated surge tank and fuel pumps will be installed.

Phase VIII- Alan Cohen will head to California to Test & Tune the Patriot Missile with GevPwr at a local track (exact day and track to be announced) before coming back to New York for the East Coast race season.

The Patriot Missile Heads Back East

It's official - the Patriot Missile is on its way back from a successful trip to the West Coast.  CTS-V Racing is extremely grateful for having GevPwr as our official West Coast headquarters.  Thanks to GevPwr the Patriot Missile set numerous track records and enabling the Patriot Missile to run smoothly with no complications.

CTS-V Racing will be getting back to its roots and participating in Time Trials with NASA Northeast for the next few months.  Check out our Upcoming Events page to see where the Patriot Missile will be competing.

Two More Track Records Set for CTS-V Racing

First time at a race track..no problem!  New tracks are no match for Alan Cohen and the Patriot Missile.  Despite a minor run-in with a tire wall, CTS-V Racing set a new CTS-V track record of 1.48.5 at Sonoma Raceway on June 6th.

With three weeks to recover from its accident, the Patriot Missile was fully restored and remastered by GevPwr and JP Wraps.  Thanks to all their hard work and dedication, the Patriot Missile was back on track at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Salinas, California this past weekend.  

The Patriot Missile encountered some minor issues Friday on track - failure of a front right caliper.  As always GevPwr came to the rescue and had parts overnighted from Alex Perez at Guaranty Chevrolet.   The Patriot Missile was fixed early Saturday morning and back on track to set another Cadillac track record of 1.37.8.

Heading to Circuit of the Americas in April

CTS-V Racing will be heading to Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas for the first time in its racing history.  We are looking forward to meeting some new V owners and catch up with old friends too.  If you are in the area, be sure to stop by and say hello.  

   

July 4th at Lime Rock Park: ReCap

Whatever your plans, CTS-V Racing hopes you all enjoyed your holiday weekend with friends and loved ones.  CTS-V Racing celebrated Independence Day among fellow racers and their families at Lime Rock Park for NASA NE's Big Bang at the Rock event. Although Hurricane Arthur swept through and wasn't too kind Thursday and part of Friday, the Patriot Missile was successful on track placing 2nd in its group and in the Top 5 overall.  

It was amazing to be among the fierce competition of many great TT drivers this past weekend.  The power of the Patriot Missile and skill of driver Alan Cohen was undeniably put to the test.  Remarkably, the Patriot Missile broke its track record with a time of 1:00.21 and became part of the honorable "Minute Club".  

Be sure to watch the Patriot Missile on track below


As always a huge thanks to all our supporters and NASA Northeast for everything they do for CTS-V Racing!

Another 1st In Class @ Thompson Speedway

New to NASA Northeast's 2014 race season schedule is Thompson Speedway in northern Connecticut.  The new track at Thompson Speedway, although demanding, was no threat for the Patriot Missile.  CTS-V Racing burned up the track and placed 1st in the TT2 Class with a time of 1:19.125.  Looks like CTS-V Racing has another trophy to add to the collection!

HyperFest 2014 was AWESOME!

The anticipation for HyperFest was well worth it because it was an unforgettable experience for CTS-V Racing.  With the Patriot Missile still in the tuning zone, and Summit Point Raceway being an unknown track, Alan Cohen took first place in the TT2 Class, as well as having the fastest time of the day.  

Before Sunday's victory, PerformanceMotorsportsNetwork.com's Radio Host, Krista Elyse interviewed Alan after a Ride Along in the Patriot Missile about his passion for Road Racing and the skill involved handling such a powerful machine on a race track. (See It Here Now!) 

While being on track is a great experience, it can also be dangerous.  Among all the excitement of events, on Saturday afternoon, a driving instructor was killed while riding passenger in a car when its driver lost control and went off the roadway.  Nobody goes out to track events expecting to have this happen. Our thoughts and prayers go out to both the driver and instructor’s family.

Thank you to all our sponsors ...Neo Synthetic Oil ...Baker Precision...ERL Performance...Radium Engineering...GevPwr...Hoosier Racing Tires...Porterfield ...Raybestos...Sparta Systems...Rudtner’s Racing...Vengeance Racing…Race Keeper....D3 and to all the fans who supports CTS-V Racing.
