0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>us more about these mean machines and speed is David Seabrook.

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.039
<v Speaker 1>He is a founder in the chief Executive Canoe Studios.

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>He's to be driving car number twenty three. Also joining

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>us is Trent Hindman. He is going to be driving

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>in the race. There race takes place, uh qualifying, I

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 1>believe June with racist to follow on July one, second

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>and third, and I want a gentleman, Well, welcome to

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>the studio, Welcome to bloomber Trent. Why don't you begin

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>by just telling us exactly what is this super Trofeo series,

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>how does it work? And what kind of cars are

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>you gonna be driving? Right? So, the car itself is

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the Lamborghini Hurrican LP six to super Trofeo. It's a

0:01:55.840 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>car specifically built for this championship. Every R is the

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>same in the series. Uh, there's a North American Championship,

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 1>European Championship, in Asian Championship. Obviously David and myself and

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>the Preceige Performance Team compete in the North American Championship.

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>And again it's it's a car specifically built by Lamborghini

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 1>for this race series. So who all David competes in

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 1>in the Super Trefeo series and particularly in the races

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>you're going to be involved in this in a couple

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:31.920
<v Speaker 1>of weeks. There's a total usually of twenty two six

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>cars that that compete. Some of the cars have one driver,

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>some have to they're all exactly the same cars, same statistics,

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>same power train, everything the cars. Of course, each team

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.679
<v Speaker 1>has the ability to set the car up based upon

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 1>the needs of the driver and their touch field for

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the car. So you'll have a pro class, which will

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>individual one pro will be driving, or a pro pro.

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>You have a Pro am which is one pro driver

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>with an amateur and then you'll have an amateur US.

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 1>We're just an amateur driver because it gives an entry

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>point for different drivers who want to experience racing to

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>come in and if they want to, they can move

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>through the ranks, whether they're younger, whether they're older. Now,

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>before we get to more about the actual race, I

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>want you to just tell us a little bit about

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 1>what the automobiles, what the Lambeaus were doing at West

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Point Trent, right, So, uh this weekend, UH, there was

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>a car show the Ramapo Concore uh not too far

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>away from the Prestige family of dealerships right up in

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>North Jersey around along Route seventeen. But from there on

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Sunday there was there was a pretty good, pretty big gathering,

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty big drive where a lot of the cars that

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>competed in this concour ended up driving to West Point.

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>One of the cars that did go to West Point

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 1>was the number one car are one of our Hurricane

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>supertrafos that our teammate unfortunately couldn't join us today drives

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>he's in the Pro class. That car is been wrapped

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>in a really really cool uh camouflage American flag kind

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>of mash up uh for the Wish for Our Heroes Foundation.

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>So we were trying to raise awareness, race support and

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>and ultimately funds to help support the Wish for Our

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Heroes Foundation. But we brought the car over to West Point,

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>had it sitting right in front of the Fair Hotel

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 1>all day yesterday and it was just an absolutely unbelievable site.

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:29.839
<v Speaker 1>So David, you uh started out in banking, that's correct

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.279
<v Speaker 1>in Canada, and I guess you did well enough that

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.679
<v Speaker 1>you could go down to Florida and start racing cars.

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.039
<v Speaker 1>So what what category of driver are you and how

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:39.839
<v Speaker 1>big of how big a part of that is a

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>super torfeo racing and particularly with the Lamborghinis, Well, I'm

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm driving to back in the past, I would have

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 1>considered a gentleman driver back in the past, even though

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I was driving in a prototype class. Today I'm I'm

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>qualified as an amateur driver and I'm teamed with a professional.

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 1>My my co driver was Stepan Wilson, who was in

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>the Inn five hundred a few weeks ago. So it's

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>nice to have good someone good with you in the

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 1>advantage of doing that is that the two of you

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.719
<v Speaker 1>can work as a team to help one another. And

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 1>the idea is is because car racing, like what we're doing,

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>is meant to be something that increases the value of

0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>the brand. It gets customers in touch with what the

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 1>cars can really do as well as to show people

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 1>that it's fun and prestige. Basically pulls together a total

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>package where they want to have their clients, others outside

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.840
<v Speaker 1>in the world as well as the drivers to see

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>this is what cars are all about. Because America is

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>a country that's really a lot of its foundation is

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 1>around the automotive business, and what we're doing is putting

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.919
<v Speaker 1>the public in touch with these unbelievably fast cars. Because

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.160
<v Speaker 1>these aren't play toys where you just take a Lamborghinian

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and slap some paint on it. This is a purpose

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 1>built race car that's pretty quick, Trent. This is what

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>a V ten. We're talking about a five point to

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Leader V ten with a seven speed dual clutch automated

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 1>manual transmission. Yes, Sarah, so it's a point to Leader

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:04.839
<v Speaker 1>Audi derived Lamborghini developed UH five point two Leader V

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.600
<v Speaker 1>ten pushing out about six hundred and twenty horsepower. UH.

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Certainly can do a bit more, but the powers cut

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 1>back just a bit for reliability sake, UH cars rpm.

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.039
<v Speaker 1>So if you can imagine a five point two Leader

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>V tens screaming at eight thousand rpm, it's uh, it's

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:27.159
<v Speaker 1>it's quite a thing to behold. Um. It is a

0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 1>six speed UH double clutch paddle actuated transmission, specifically a

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 1>race gearbox. Not really something you'd find on the road. Again,

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 1>more for reliability sake, unless you happened to be in

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the Italian police department, because I understand the LP six

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.840
<v Speaker 1>ten four is the official police car version of going well,

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:47.479
<v Speaker 1>but at least you didn't start out in policing. You

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.279
<v Speaker 1>started out in racing. How did you get into racing,

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.719
<v Speaker 1>your young man, what's the what's the career path? Right? So,

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I've been very lucky, very fortunate to be given opportunities

0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>from a very young age. My father originally grew up

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.359
<v Speaker 1>in South Jersey on the water. He raced boats for

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 1>a little while, but then once I was thought of,

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.840
<v Speaker 1>once I started to come around, yeah, my mom more

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>or less put an end to his racing career. So

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>ultimately I just grew up as a race fan, watching

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Formula One races on Sunday mornings with him. Ended up

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.840
<v Speaker 1>getting into motocross around the age of four, started racing

0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>cards at the age of eight, and ultimately cars at

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the age of thirteen. Gentlemen, good luck, Thank you so

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.920
