Event Debreif:

I competed in the Street Rear Wheel Drive class and came in second place. Greg (GT Motoring) took first place in Street RWD! Mike from GT Motoring took second place in FWD in his RSX.

Here are some pictures from the event, the rest can be found in the album:

Takata's James Elterman blew his built motor in the first practice session on Saturday (put a whole in the block). Here his team is swapping motors in the garage with a spare stock motor they brought a long.


The garage was large and packed with race teams and car show vendors.


The pits outside the garage was full, too.


Heck, the whole infield was filled with imports!


Greg from GT Motoring's newly built Honda S2000 making pass through the hot pits during Saturday's practice.


GT Motoring RSX in the Bridgestone pits (Bridgestone sponsors GT Motoring).


Mike driving his RSX back to the pits after a practice session.


My car in the pits, sponsor decals applied.


Another member of the Bridgestone team's Mazdaspeed 3.


Sharp looking S2000 in what looked like M3 blue.


Ryan Gate's AMS Evo X in the garage.


James had his new engine in by Saturday afternoon.


Forged's Nissan GTR in the garage.

Here are some more on track photos, from HKYStormFront on the my350z forums. He's got some great shots, more can be found here.

Awards time!


Mike took second in Street FWD.

Ryan took the win in Modified AWD.

It did not get sorted out. I'm just going to run with the busted third gear again. At least with Redline, I'll only really have to make shifts in anger during the timed sessions

On the good news front, I'll be running street this time around

Also, I posted some video of us from Autobahn if you haven't seen it yet:
Thanks for posting David! Congrats on the second place finish with a suffering transmission. Still going to make it to Putnam in October?

Aaron,

Thanks, though I can't blame the trans for the gap Greg had on me. He built his new car right and drove it well.

I am still planning on Putnam. Are you going to be there? Running TT in the S2000? Any further resolution of ball joint rule issue?
