John is the crazy NSX owner with the crazy JGTC’esque wide-body kit, and picnic bench sized rear wing. Everything John does is in absolutely crazy excess. Car? Crazy excess NSX. Bodykit? Crazy Excess huge widebody. Paint Scheme? Crazy excess look-at-me yellow. John is so much into yellow and black that he has earned the nickname “Power Ranger”. We’re waiting for the day he paints his helmet Super-fly yellow and gets a black visor. It has to be said however, that we respect a man that can drive around town in a yellow widebody NSX with a 108 decibel exhaust!!

Fun Fact: John’s daily driver is a yellow S2000 with lime green wheels, making him a shoe-in for Mello-Yello sponsorship.

Matt is a longtime car enthusiast who seems to understand the need for multiple cars that lack any utility capacity. He currently owns an S2000, a Miata and a Neon and we wear that only one of these cars runs at any given time. Matt’s claim to fame is the fact that his Miata has ITB’s, making it sound incredibly glorious despite its sub 150hp output.

Fun Fact: Matt has recently survived both a head-on ATV collision with a tree, as well as an attack by a vicious man-eating hand grinder.

Scott is an ex-Ferrari owner. We make a point of including the “ex” portion of the Ferrari ownership because his “cool to hang out with” factor went down by 68% as soon as the car was gone. Despite the fact that he no longer owns the Ferrari he still expects to be swarmed by Hawaiian tropic-like models all of the time. Sadly, we recently found out that he wasn’t being swarmed by Hawaiian Tropic-like models even when he did have the Ferrari.

Fun Fact: Scotty kicked everyone’s butt at the PIR grand opening track day posting a 1:23.xx lap time, thus cementing the fact that he does indeed suck at the chicane.

They say that he would rather change brake pads than eat. They say that he would rather clean his wheels of brake dust than breathe. They even say that he times his drive to work every morning with an XT Racing lap timer. One thing is for sure, with an NSX, STi, and a new Lotus Sport Elise he is the Official AR Auto “I have too many track cars” guy.

While we all love and respect “The Paul”, we’ve had some troubling reports from his family alluding to the fact that he secretly prefers automatic transmissions. Say it ain’t so!!

Fun Fact: Paul doesnt have fun facts yet. Dont let this fool you into thinking Paul isnt a fun guy. He is. Very.

Pong is our resident “guy who hangs out all of the time but doesnt actually work here” guy. Pong is also our resident “at every single track day driving like a madman” guy as well. With a current best time of 1:29.xx on the old PIR configuration he is one of the fastest stock S2000 drivers we know of. Pong is the founding member of Black Hawk Racing.

Fun Fact: Pongydoo’s real name is Lapas Hasdin

The Co-founder of the original Adrenaline Racing, Mike Wann is the quintessential worldwide adventurer. If there’s a place to go, food to eat or person to meet he’s done it. Everything from his wardrobe, to his vehicles are all done in style and it is said that nothing escapes the keen eye of Mike Wann. Mike recently moved to California and is still there today furthering his plans of world domination.

Fun Fact: Mike once dated a Calvin Klein model. Yes one of the female ones. (Yes we know they are hard to tell apart)

Tom is a former Adrenaline Racing sponsored Auto-x’er from the Rio Grand Region. He dominated his respective class (CSP) for many years and gained a reputation as a fearsome competitor. He recently switched from the Miata to a C5 Corvette Z-06. Since he was already wicked fast in his Miata it was hard for us to find a better superlative to describe his speed in the Corvette. Rest assured though, he’s still wickedly fast in the Corvette, just a faster wickedly fast than before.

Fun fact: Tom is the only driver to beat Eddie’s lap times on equal terms that Eddie wasnt able to make a good excuse for. (Hallet 2005-margin of victory 0.15 seconds)

Fun fact #2: Tom might look Mexican, but he’s actually half Japanese.
