LIC Motorsports Super Lap Battle Press Release

The weeks following the last event (Subiefest 2009) were filled with lots of ideas and major upgrade/changes. Wanting to push as hard as possible without compromising anything, LIC Motorsports put some plans underway to prep for the last two remaining events (Super Lap Battle and Redline Time Attack Finals). First event up was Super Lap Battle 2009; this is the super bowl of Time Attack, cars come from all around the country to show you what they got and continue the East Coast/West Coast question of whom makes/develops the best cars.

LIC Motorsports data has proven over the last few races that the car desperately needs to be lower to the ground all while obtaining proper geometry. Getting to this is not a simple or easy task. We started by contacting M1 Fabrication andhood Development in Southern California. The parts needed would be a bit complex but with a methodical plan and there racing/engineering experience, they were confident they could get us what we were looking for. The next phone call was made to ERP Suspension Engineering, these guys really know their stuff; with a background in Speed World Challenge and countless design and engineering dedicated to Porsche teams. The plan for custom control arms, custom knuckles, and custom JRZ Suspension was now underway...only catch was, we only had 3 weeks for design, execution, and delivery on these parts.

Always enjoy reading your write-ups. You have quite an eye for photography and design as well. The pictures and layout always look top notch

Great read Noah! I feel your heart, sweat, and determination in your words electronically etched on my screen . When I read your blogs I feel like I'm in the shop with you guys, in the truck on the way to the track, or at the track. It's interesting, I find Mikes write ups to be great reads and very similar with the struggles, victories, disappointments, and perseverance your guys push through. I look forward to the day when David (LIC) slays Goliath with his little Subaru rock(et).

Once LIC'd always LIC'd!
