There were a few of the SoCal regulars in attendance at this event.

I heard there was a RWD Honda that PWN'd the AMS AWD car by ~5 seconds?

Holy cow that is a sick time, Billy! Congrats man

 

Congratulations Billy Johnson- Unlimited-RWD/Overall Champ Honda FTW!

Nice driving by S2000 driver Jeremy Renshaw Modified -RWD 1st Place and StinkyTofu/Tim Kuo for 1st place Modified-FWD.

 

Fun event. It wasn't the safest event ever, but it's tough to keep it 100% safe when there are so many cars and such little time.

And Ryan Gates' AMS EVO was stupid fast. No way anything in the Modified class was catching it.

 

JC Meynet took the lead away from Ryan in the final session.. just to have Ryan snake the lead back again in his final lap of the day. JC certainly gave Ryan a good run for his money. More so than anyone else has all season long.

It will be interesting to see Ryan, JC and Chad Block in the CBRD Evo mixing it up with each other at the Season Finale. :-)

 

I didn't realize JC caught him in the last session.

 

Congrats to Paul in the AE 370Z

 

We had a great event for our first one and not knowing what to really expect...Have ALOT of work to do before California. Congrats to all the winners...Billy Johnson was flying!!!

 

cant wait for slb finals, i know for sure billy is gonna beat the hks evo record.

 

that freakin guy...hahaha I thought I had them in the 2nd session, since it looked like they ran all of one lap and I was running quicker my 2nd session than they were their 1st. But, they improved two seconds... that's even after stuffing their car into the desert hills!! well deserved!

and the S2000 who took 2nd in SS-RWD... I don't even think he went out his 2nd session... I was trying to chase his 1st session time, but couldn't do it. was still slower by 2 tenths. I just need to drive faster.


That NSX is hardly a Honda anymore. Sure it still has a Honda engine, headlamps, front windscreen and frame... but that's about it. I don't know how much Mitsu is left on the AMS car. Regardless of semantics, that 2:13 was blistering quick, especially since the track record by a Radical SR8 was around 2:12.
Congrats to Factor X (and the rest of the teams that posted laps in the teens) for building a car that can compete with Radicals.
