Top‑5 Double: Two AMP Engine Management Racers
Taylor takes the Gold; Sewell wins Sunoco Hard Charger Award and takes 5th Place from the back of the pack.
Mike Taylor — From Start to Victory
The STL championship fight came down to strategy, precision, and composure. At the drop of the green, Mike Taylor launched his Acura Integra cleanly and held the inside line through Turn 12 before an early full-course yellow slowed the field. On the lap-four restart, Jose Peña momentarily slipped ahead and opened a small gap, setting the race’s fastest lap at 2:32.127.
After post-race review, stewards issued a five-second penalty to Peña for accelerating before the restart zone—moving Taylor to P1 in the official classification. The result: an SCCA Runoffs Gold Medal for Taylor and his e3 Storage / Just Track It / AMP EFI Acura Integra.
Taylor’s consistency and racecraft, backed by the reliability of his AMP Engine Management standalone ECU and custom EFI tuning, proved decisive. His car ran flawlessly across 13 laps, maintaining stable lap times and data-driven fueling that kept the Integra strong to the checkered flag.
“I was going really hard… it was really fun,” Taylor said after the race, describing a final-lap push that sealed the victory.
Jon Sewell — Hard Charger to the Top 5
Starting deep in the field, Jon Sewell showcased both determination and setup excellence in his AMP-equipped Acura Integra Type R. Charging from ninth to fifth, Sewell sliced through traffic with measured aggression and earned the event’s Sunoco Hard Charger Award for advancing the most positions in class.
Sewell’s performance highlights how AMP’s data-driven EFI tuning and standalone ECU precision empower drivers to extract every tenth without sacrificing reliability. Even under high ambient temps and race-long pressure, his engine parameters stayed rock-solid—demonstrating the durability that privateer racers count on from AMP systems.
