Default Buttonwillow\SpeedVentures\Gumball

I wasn't able to go this past weekend, but I know many of you did. How was the track day and all the Gumball stuff?

it was fun but the track was pretty crowded, i only got like 2 laps with no traffic so i only managed a 2:03.540. there were 3 ariel atoms there one with claimed 400whp, those things are fast...i left before the gumball guys showed up though

Congrat maxrev on your 2:00 street time. I can't imagine how you can go so fast with so minimal mods.

I believe Maxrev has the new S2000 Street tire record!

2:00.05 on his very mildly modified daily driver. Holy smokes . So close to the 1:59 mark. Mmm....perhaps you should try it again with a non-slipping clutch and no passenger seat?
Damn! That's really impressive


I bet you guys will be in the 1:59's pretty easily once the weather cools down for Fall. Street tires are badly affected by hot track temps.
