Innovate Motorsports Wins Best New Product Award at SEMA Show

LM-1 Honored with Primedia's Technology Award for Best New Product- Racing & Performance

San Juan Capistrano, CA (January 9, 2004) - Innovate Motorsports’ LM-1 won Primedia’s “Best New Product – Performance and Racing” Award at SEMA in Las Vegas.

The award recognized the LM-1 as a major advance for engine tuners by enabling precise measurement of exhaust air/fuel ratio (AFR) at an affordable price. The meter’s digital signal processing technology provides data on exactly how rich or lean an engine is running at any load. The LM-1’s self-calibrating circuitry also compensates for changes in temperature, altitude, and sensor condition.

“The entire Innovate Team is excited about the industry’s recognition of the LM-1,” says Patrick Thompson, Innovate’s President, “We are committed to providing products that will enhance the performance of our customers’ engines and this award confirms that we are on the right track.”

To keep up with the demand for the LM-1 and related products Innovate has moved to their new corporate headquarters tripling square footage to accommodate growth. The headquarters expansion is the result of the company’s rapid growth and success in the motorsports market and the increasing demand for the company’s products.

“Our products are definitely resonating with our customer base, which has led to our explosive growth,” says Klaus Allmendinger, Innovate’s VP of Engineering. “We are very pleased to be in a new state-of-the-art facility that will accommodate our growth in Southern California over the next few years.”
