Sorry this is not about the upcoming release of a video game. This is Global Time Attack! An event that features all types of cars and drivers with different levels of performance and experience. The Time Attack events focus on getting the fastest lap time in each class and they have a class for everyone and most any car. The most recent event was last weekend at Road Atlanta during Formula Drift with over 15,000 fans looking on. Our newest intern, Brandon Connelly competed unopposed in the Synergy Turbo AWD True Street Class, thank you Patrick at Synergy Turbo for all your help and support! Brandon did very well for his first on a race track with his lowest lap time of 2.04 in his mostly stock Evo 8. The GTA organization will have more events this year that promises to pay out $10,000 to the class winners! Check out their website here for more info.

Unfortunately due to Formula D rules, our 350z is getting a new skin. The rules state that a car must have body, not just a chassis like our 350z has been for a while now. Some of us like the new look of the car, but others like how it looked like a big go-cart. As you can see the car is getting more than just a body, it is getting a bunch of little things that are needed to pass tech as well. Obviously we can’t drop working on customer cars to just finish this car, so it is being worked on between projects as well as after hours. The car needs to be ready for a Pro-am drift event on July 9th in Charlotte NC. That means a few more late nights to get this car competition ready.

Due to the overwhelming success of this years Batlground Motorsports intern program, we have decided to expand. We will be inviting a couple more eager students to join us.
Our interns are not afraid of a little hard work rewarded with learning something new. We strive to provide a give and take environment where both the student and teacher are helping each other to accomplish a common goal.
Here at Batlground we deal with a wide array of different makes and models of vehicles, did you think we only built import projects? Think again, there is a huge force of American muscle with modern LS basedV8 projects coming in all the time. Not to mention our own LS6 powered drift car. Between overseeing the work our techs do to our customer cars or getting some hands on experience with Batlground’s own stable of vehicles, there is never a dull moment.
Our current interns have also enjoyed racing with us. This years Atlanta Region SCCA Autocross season has proved to be a valuable experience, with several of our own constantly improving their lap times. Want to learn by doing? We encourage everyone to join us for all of the Autocross action.
If you are interested in becoming part of the automotive industry, are currently enrolled in an automotive or motorcycle program or just have some extra time to spend doing what you love, please send us a resume. Please send all resumes to us at Batlground@gmail.com for review. Don’t worry if you do not currently have a full resume, we just want to get an idea of your background and interests, please send pics as well. Pics of past, present or future projects are always helpful.

This weekend a car got dropped up at the shop that needs to be finished for an event on the 18th of this month. If you haven’t realized, that is only 5 days for us to have this car finished. Fortunately the engine and transmission are in the car, but that is the easy part. Since then, we got the engine harness 90% finished. The picture of the random wires is everything that was removed from the harness that is not needed. We will update our blog with the progress on this car.
