NITRON NEWS
 Nitron made an immediate impact on the EVO scene with their first competition suspension kits. Having only supplied one road car kit Nitron supplied NTR Race kits to Owen Developments for the LMA Euro Saloon Championship and Car Planet Racing for their Time Attack Pro Class car. At the first round of the Time Attack Series at Oulton Park Gareth Lloyd in the Car Planet Racing Evo 6 finished a highly credible 3rd in the Pro Class, especially considering the last minute completion of the highly modified car. The team had worked flat out to get to a test the day before, eventually leaving the pits with half an hour to go, only for the gearbox to fail! A very long night then ensued as the team changed the 'box and travelled up to Oulton. Nitron are confident they can take the fight to Chris Ward and Olly Clark in the next round with some testing of their new car. A full report can be found here: http://www.timeattack.co.uk/gallery Meanwhile in the LMA Euro Saloon Championship the Owen Developments Evo was making waves with Mark Harrison at the wheel. Another car finished at the last minute (6pm the night before!), Mark stuck it straight on the front row of the grid, and in a car with many modifications over the winter and dampers set at factory settings. Unfortunately in the race the car suffered from intermittent total boost loss (later traced to a faulty wastegate valve) so the best Mark could manage was 7th, still not bad at all considering the fault demoted him to last at one point. Owens were delighted with the handling from the Nitrons and look forward to fitting them to customer cars in the very near future. A full report can be found here: http://www.lmaeurosaloons.co.uk/e_races/e_2009_race03/e_2009_race03 Nitron also took 2nd place in the RWD Class of the Time Attack with the Whifbitz Toyota Supra driven by Paul Whiffin, a very commendable result considering it was Paul's first visit to the technical Oulton Park circuit.
