For the April 2025 NASA Racing Gear Store Move of the Month contest, the prize goes to NASA Arizona’s Team RoomTemp IQ, who won with a respectable 36.7 percent of the vote in last month’s contest.
Team RoomTemp IQ, in its 2006 Lotus Elise powered by a junkyard Honda K24, defied logic and possibly gravity, setting a blistering 1:37.366 lap record in TT4 at Podium Club’s clockwise track. Driver Bryce Moore, proving once again he can make anything fast, may have set the record while operating with what he described as “basically no brakes.”
He playfully accused teammate and car owner Jake Guzman of questionable late-night maintenance. “Jake needs to stop bleeding brakes in the dark,” Moore quipped, hinting at a potential midnight mishap. Apparently, the Lotus prefers to stop with sheer willpower, not brake pads.
Moore’s 36.7 percent majority bested second-place NASA Southeast’s Jeremy Barnes’ 25 percent, Justin Metz who netted 17 percent, and Tyler Lieberman at 16 percent. Congratulations to Team RoomTemp IQ for the win!
Argentina’s el Chueco is the papa of race craft. It’s felt through the seat of your pants. The car must rotate to become one with it. Aero grip is not racing at speed unless you’re in F1 where you can literally drive defying gravity upside-down if you were in a test-tube. Which unfortunately means that the real racing is in NASCAR where the cars are untethered at the Cup level. Do NOT go there unless you have the endurance to mentally and physically handle the back to back to back schedule. It’s f’n nuts.
