Mar. 23, 2012 – COVINA, Calif. – With the first weekend of the 2012 SCCA Pro Racing Pirelli World Challenge season only days away, Tiger Racing is excited to announce that driver Justin Bell will be piloting the #50 Ford Mustang Boss 302S in the GTS class for the first two races of the season. No stranger to SCCA racing, Bell will bring experience running in such series as Trans Am and FIA GT to the Pirelli World Challenge for the first time.

Team Manager and primary driver, Paul Brown, said, “I know people will be a bit surprised to see someone else behind the wheel of the #50 Boss car, but while I’m recovering from some minor, albeit unexpected, surgery, I couldn’t ask for a better substitute driver. Justin grew up around racing, the same that I did, and brings knowledge and experience from both on and off the track.”

When asked about this opportunity, Justin Bell replied, “It is not often you get asked to step into a Champions shoes for a few races so I jumped at the chance to help eBay Motors, Tiger Racing and Paul Brown out on short notice. I am excited to get into the Mustang on these road courses as I love sprint racing, and judging from the team’s performance last year, I should have one of the best prepared cars on the grid. Now it is just down to me!”

Brown added, “The team is fired up to defend our 2011 Championships and Justin is part of our plan for the year.”

Tiger Racing is proud to be sponsored by eBay Motors, Kenny Brown Performance, Lucas Oil, Ford Racing, K&N Filters, Eibach, Baer Brakes, Hawk Performance, One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning, G-Stream, ERP/JRZ, Tremec Transmission and Bassani Xhaust. A special thanks to Wellendorf Performance.

Mustang GT RTR with Bassani Xhaust on The Car Show: New American Muscle

garynaito — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 19:43:28 +0000

At different stages in Michael Heinz build up on his Mustang GT we had installed originally our Aft Cats then later the full 3″ exhaust system and then later headers to the system. Michael had got himself a Magnuson supercharger and with all that power we did further R&D and installed resonators to attempt to quiet it down as it was his everyday driver. Michaels car got oufitted with the RTR package and was looking as awesome as it performed and sounded. He told me he’d been on the Speed Channel and send me the video of this segment that pitted him against the new Camaro and Charger. I like Mike Farrah’s comment in the video at 2:41 saying this Mustang GT outfitted with Bassani Xhaust “could win on sound alone”. Too bad his car spun out and got a rock in it’s wheel. We are sure his time would have beat out the other two.

Chris Rivas, World’s Fastest Bagger

garynaito — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 16:48:45 +0000

We had help engineer Chris Rivas an exhaust system in the beginning of the year for his Bagger to run at Bonneville. We applied our Road Rage 2 into 1 technology to his 167cu. in 240 HP S&S Twin Cam engine. Check out the sound clip:

Chris was able to keep the title of “World’s Fastest Bagger” with a 195+ Pass at Bonneville this year. Congratulations Chris!

Switchback Dyna with Bassani Xhaust

garynaito — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 18:12:03 +0000

We got a 2012 switchback Dyna in for prototyping a 2>1 and some slip ons. This bike is all new for Harley and at a killer price point $15,999 we think it is going to be very popular for guys that perhaps want a Bagger but don’t have the funds to finance it. We put our test system on this Dyna and with it’s new 103 V-Twin this bike came to life. The photo shows the megaphone falling short of the bags but this is only a prototype and the actual megaphone will be longer.

Paul Brown Wins 2011 World Challenge GTS class championship with win at Laguna Seca

garynaito — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 18:32:04 +0000

Paul had been running our full system with headers, X Pipe and Mufflers but because of race restrictions needed to bring his exhaust up more so Geoff Adams our Automotive R&D fabricator just recently updated Pauls Mustang with an Oval Mid Pipe and X. Paul took the car to Lagune Seca for the GTS Class Championship. Driving No 50, his Ford Mustang Boss 302S.

Paul Brown claimed a flag-to-flag win in the GTS class of this weekend’s Pirelli World Challenge Race at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Brown qualified on the pole, pulled away at the start, and managed to keep first place all the way to the finish with a 2.713-second margin of victory. The win secured his first career World Challenge title with one race still to go in the season. The victory was Brown’s fifth of the year and his eighth podium finish out of eleven races so far this year.

“I started it just like every other and went as hard and as fast as I could at the start,” I watched the guys moving around at the back. Luckily, or unluckily, there was a GT car that stalled and really screwed up the one line. I just put my head down and worked my butt off.”

The Championship is the first for Brown, who wasn’t sure if the funding was available at the start of the season to run for a championship. The team placed together race-to-race deals to make it to every championship round and now sits on top with a one-race cushion to spare.

“I don’t know how to explain it, it’s really surreal,” Brown said. “I’m just shocked.”

Brown finished ahead of Pratt Cole’s No. 96 USA Cares/Western Metal Ford Mustang FR500S after Cole ran second for the entire race.

Bassani Xhaust on 2010 Camaro with Supercharger

garynaito — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 18:39:48 +0000

Bob Vogel brought down his Camaro SS which had our full 2-1/2″ system on it including our headers, and a Supercharger installed. This system features the Power X Crossover, and comes with all necessary hardware for easy installation. We took it for a spin and got sound bites from it. Bob’s been working with the guys at Hess Motorsports to get this Camaro to look and perform it’s best. Contact your local Bassani dealer for more details.

Tiger Racings Paul Brown’s Boss Mustang Wins SCCA World Challenge, Long Beach CA

garynaito — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 15:41:27 +0000

Paul Brown of Tiger Racing asked us to design an exhaust system for his Mustang Boss 302S. Geoff Adams our R&D automotive fabricator designed and installed our full GT 5.0 System complete with crossover “X” and race mufflers adapting it to the stock headers since regulations required him to run oem manifolds. Bassani’s been following Paul’s progress and were hopeful after his race in Florida. We congratulate Paul and Tiger Racing on this latest win in Long Beach and wish him all the best!

B1 Power Systems Logo

garynaito — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 16:21:08 +0000

We felt the need to come up with a logo for the B1 line. We will use this logo whenever possible but the staff needed it for embroidery on their shirts for the V-Twin Expo in Cincinnati Ohio. I did a quick sketch then fined tuned it in Photoshop then simplified it even more and brought it into Illustrator. You can see the 3 steps and the result.

2011 Mustang GT Headers

garynaito — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 23:08:42 +0000

We got in a 2011 Mustang GT for prototyping long tube headers for to go with our 3″ Full Aft-Cat system. After R&D completed these headers we were able to take the car with system for a test drive to see what it heard and performed like. Right away we noticed the significant increase in torque and power. It sounded amazing also to say the least.
