Speaker 1: is taking stock with pims Ox and Kathleen Mays on
Speaker 1: bloom Bird Radio. Racing. The Prestige Performance Race team recently
Speaker 1: announcing that well it has two cars in the North
Speaker 1: American Lamborghini Blanc super Trofeo series. And here to tell
Speaker 1: us more about these mean machines and speed is David Seabrook.
Speaker 1: He is a founder in the chief Executive Canoe Studios.
Speaker 1: He's to be driving car number twenty three. Also joining
Speaker 1: us is Trent Hindman. He is going to be driving
Speaker 1: in the race. There race takes place, uh qualifying, I
Speaker 1: believe June with racist to follow on July one, second
Speaker 1: and third, and I want a gentleman, Well, welcome to
Speaker 1: the studio, Welcome to bloomber Trent. Why don't you begin
Speaker 1: by just telling us exactly what is this super Trofeo series,
Speaker 1: how does it work? And what kind of cars are
Speaker 1: you gonna be driving? Right? So, the car itself is
Speaker 1: the Lamborghini Hurrican LP six to super Trofeo. It's a
Speaker 1: car specifically built for this championship. Every R is the
Speaker 1: same in the series. Uh, there's a North American Championship,
Speaker 1: European Championship, in Asian Championship. Obviously David and myself and
Speaker 1: the Preceige Performance Team compete in the North American Championship.
Speaker 1: And again it's it's a car specifically built by Lamborghini
Speaker 1: for this race series. So who all David competes in
Speaker 1: in the Super Trefeo series and particularly in the races
Speaker 1: you're going to be involved in this in a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. There's a total usually of twenty two six
Speaker 1: cars that that compete. Some of the cars have one driver,
Speaker 1: some have to they're all exactly the same cars, same statistics,
Speaker 1: same power train, everything the cars. Of course, each team
Speaker 1: has the ability to set the car up based upon
Speaker 1: the needs of the driver and their touch field for
Speaker 1: the car. So you'll have a pro class, which will
Speaker 1: individual one pro will be driving, or a pro pro.
Speaker 1: You have a Pro am which is one pro driver
Speaker 1: with an amateur and then you'll have an amateur US.
Speaker 1: We're just an amateur driver because it gives an entry
Speaker 1: point for different drivers who want to experience racing to
Speaker 1: come in and if they want to, they can move
Speaker 1: through the ranks, whether they're younger, whether they're older. Now,
Speaker 1: before we get to more about the actual race, I
Speaker 1: want you to just tell us a little bit about
Speaker 1: what the automobiles, what the Lambeaus were doing at West
Speaker 1: Point Trent, right, So, uh this weekend, UH, there was
Speaker 1: a car show the Ramapo Concore uh not too far
Speaker 1: away from the Prestige family of dealerships right up in
Speaker 1: North Jersey around along Route seventeen. But from there on
Speaker 1: Sunday there was there was a pretty good, pretty big gathering,
Speaker 1: pretty big drive where a lot of the cars that
Speaker 1: competed in this concour ended up driving to West Point.
Speaker 1: One of the cars that did go to West Point
Speaker 1: was the number one car are one of our Hurricane
Speaker 1: supertrafos that our teammate unfortunately couldn't join us today drives
Speaker 1: he's in the Pro class. That car is been wrapped
Speaker 1: in a really really cool uh camouflage American flag kind
Speaker 1: of mash up uh for the Wish for Our Heroes Foundation.
Speaker 1: So we were trying to raise awareness, race support and
Speaker 1: and ultimately funds to help support the Wish for Our
Speaker 1: Heroes Foundation. But we brought the car over to West Point,
Speaker 1: had it sitting right in front of the Fair Hotel
Speaker 1: all day yesterday and it was just an absolutely unbelievable site.
Speaker 1: So David, you uh started out in banking, that's correct
Speaker 1: in Canada, and I guess you did well enough that
Speaker 1: you could go down to Florida and start racing cars.
Speaker 1: So what what category of driver are you and how
Speaker 1: big of how big a part of that is a
Speaker 1: super torfeo racing and particularly with the Lamborghinis, Well, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm driving to back in the past, I would have
Speaker 1: considered a gentleman driver back in the past, even though
Speaker 1: I was driving in a prototype class. Today I'm I'm
Speaker 1: qualified as an amateur driver and I'm teamed with a professional.
Speaker 1: My my co driver was Stepan Wilson, who was in
Speaker 1: the Inn five hundred a few weeks ago. So it's
Speaker 1: nice to have good someone good with you in the
Speaker 1: advantage of doing that is that the two of you
Speaker 1: can work as a team to help one another. And
Speaker 1: the idea is is because car racing, like what we're doing,
Speaker 1: is meant to be something that increases the value of
Speaker 1: the brand. It gets customers in touch with what the
Speaker 1: cars can really do as well as to show people
Speaker 1: that it's fun and prestige. Basically pulls together a total
Speaker 1: package where they want to have their clients, others outside
Speaker 1: in the world as well as the drivers to see
Speaker 1: this is what cars are all about. Because America is
Speaker 1: a country that's really a lot of its foundation is
Speaker 1: around the automotive business, and what we're doing is putting
Speaker 1: the public in touch with these unbelievably fast cars. Because
Speaker 1: these aren't play toys where you just take a Lamborghinian
Speaker 1: and slap some paint on it. This is a purpose
Speaker 1: built race car that's pretty quick, Trent. This is what
Speaker 1: a V ten. We're talking about a five point to
Speaker 1: Leader V ten with a seven speed dual clutch automated
Speaker 1: manual transmission. Yes, Sarah, so it's a point to Leader
Speaker 1: Audi derived Lamborghini developed UH five point two Leader V
Speaker 1: ten pushing out about six hundred and twenty horsepower. UH.
Speaker 1: Certainly can do a bit more, but the powers cut
Speaker 1: back just a bit for reliability sake, UH cars rpm.
Speaker 1: So if you can imagine a five point two Leader
Speaker 1: V tens screaming at eight thousand rpm, it's uh, it's
Speaker 1: it's quite a thing to behold. Um. It is a
Speaker 1: six speed UH double clutch paddle actuated transmission, specifically a
Speaker 1: race gearbox. Not really something you'd find on the road. Again,
Speaker 1: more for reliability sake, unless you happened to be in
Speaker 1: the Italian police department, because I understand the LP six
Speaker 1: ten four is the official police car version of going well,
Speaker 1: but at least you didn't start out in policing. You
Speaker 1: started out in racing. How did you get into racing,
Speaker 1: your young man, what's the what's the career path? Right? So,
Speaker 1: I've been very lucky, very fortunate to be given opportunities
Speaker 1: from a very young age. My father originally grew up
Speaker 1: in South Jersey on the water. He raced boats for
Speaker 1: a little while, but then once I was thought of,
Speaker 1: once I started to come around, yeah, my mom more
Speaker 1: or less put an end to his racing career. So
Speaker 1: ultimately I just grew up as a race fan, watching
Speaker 1: Formula One races on Sunday mornings with him. Ended up
Speaker 1: getting into motocross around the age of four, started racing
Speaker 1: cards at the age of eight, and ultimately cars at
Speaker 1: the age of thirteen. Gentlemen, good luck, Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for joining us in studio of the Street's Performance
Speaker 1: Racing team telling us about the Lamborghini Super Treferial North
Speaker 1: America Series at the end of June, then Watkins if
Speaker 1: you want more information. Thanks to Trent Kinderman and also
