GarageGT – 2008 Mitsubishi EVO X CARBONETIC Blade Clutch
Tarzan Yamada, one of the best known names in the Time Attack and Tuner world has been entered to run Circuit Battles Phoenix, April 9th and 10th at Firebird International Raceway in Chandler Arizona. Tarzan will be competing in a Mitsubishi Evo X entered and prepared by Garage GT.
Cenk Ocakoglu, owner of Garage GT, contacted Redline Track Events shortly after the Circuit Battles Willow Springs Event asking if the Evo X his company was preparing for time attacks later in the year would be eligible to compete. The staff at Redline Track Events worked with Mr. Ocakoglu to insure the car would be eligible and properly prepared for competition with Tarzan Yamada as driver.
Mr. Ocakoglu and his team have previously competed with Redline Time Attack and had been watching from the sidelines. After the Circuit Battles Willow Springs Event Mr. Ocakoglu thought that Circuit Battleswas the place for his team to compete. “I really think you guys are headed in the right direction and we want to be involved.” was the sentiment expressed by Mr. Ocakoglu.
The staff at Redline Track Events is very excited to add a driver with the following and international fan base of Tarzan Yamada to the Circuit Battles line-up. Tarzan’s aggressive driving style should be an excellent fit for the extremely fast paced action of Circuit Battles.
Tarzan will be racing despite the hardships his family and his countrymen have been undergoing since the devastating earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. Tarzan resides full time in Tokyo when not traveling the world competing in time attack competitions.
