Since the day we began releasing AMS & ALPHA products, our customers have been putting them to the test. Nothing makes us happier than seeing our customers not only using our products but chasing and breaking records with them. We wanted to recognize these achievements and for this reason, we have initiated two awards programs here at AMS Performance… the AMS Performance Elite and Alpha Performance Elite.



These programs will be used to acknowledge individuals pushing the envelope in automotive performance using either AMS or Alpha products to their fullest capabilities. This select group of AMS and Alpha vehicle owners will be given a couple tokens of our appreciation as well as honorable recognition on our website and social media pages such as Facebook and Instagram.

Each inductee into the AMS Performance Elite or Alpha Performance Elite program will receive a custom helmet and trophy. Currently all 14 Nissan R35 ALPHA GT-R Owners that have gone 8.99 or quicker in the ¼ mile powered by an AMS/ ALPHA Performance Package or AMS/ALPHA Turbo & Intercooler kit will be recognized. We will also induct all future customers that achieve this level.

The Performance Elite awards are not limited to drag racing. We also wish to recognize AMS/Alpha customers who have won or set records in road racing, standing mile, half mile, and roll racing events. However, benchmarks for these events are not standardized and recognition for achievements in these fields will require additional review. Select AMS staff members will be choosing individuals who over the past couple years have documented and made significant achievements with their cars and we'll be on the lookout for those made in the future.


Our first inductee is none other than the pioneer of R35 GT-R horsepower, Tim Sanders. With Tim’s unwavering faith in our GT-R program we were able to do early development work on the ALPHA 10 and ALPHA 12 turbo kits using his car.


It comes as no surprise that Tim’s beloved GMG GT-R became a member of the 8 Second club a couple years back.


Since that historic event Tim has been enjoying his ALPHA 12 (now an ALPHA 14) in sunny Florida scaring the pants off neighbors and those crazy enough to go for a ride with him. We can’t say thank you enough Tim for everything you have done for us and the loyalty that you have shown us. I hope these small tokens of our appreciation can give you a glimpse of just how honored we are to call you a member of our ALPHA family.















To those other 8 Second ALPHA owners you can expect an email or a phone call from me sometime this week. I will be requesting some information so we can build our special ALPHA Elite page on our website and customize your trophy and Bell Helmet. The site will be a hall of fame of sorts, a place where current and future GT-R owners can go to learn about what it takes to build and operate one of the greatest performance cars to hit public streets.

We wish to thank all of our faithful customers and supporters and wish all of you seeking these awards the best of luck! The AMS and Alpha Performance Elite will be an ongoing awards program and we plan to present many trophy and helmet packages for years to come!

Such a cool concept. Wish I could run my TSM Alpha 12 before TX2k to try to earn one of those helmets for Tx This is a great idea.

 

Some one needs to take their Alpha 12 to the ring. It would be great to see a sub 7 minute time ??
