Redline Time Attack season opener March 29th/30th

[kognition]

Season opener! Just outside LA (Bakersfield). More of a shakedown since it is the first event of the year. But it is a points event, and there will be some serious contenders at this event.

I am there w/ the air/box induct portal exposed! J/K but I am looking forward to captain K, and his T.A. S/14 =] I am disappointed they shot over CALWAY, fontucky, USA! us horse herders out here are always looking for more ways to test street cars & win for our developments. I think that would work into more productive activity between HIGH/MID level cars w, sometimes, limited street time.

wait. .. .JIC has a 3rd gen 14 coming out?

[kognition]

Actually, they have a new RX8, and are getting a new Evo from Mitsubishi, and the S14 was at the fabricators when i was at their office... so i did not get to see it.

Wow! Nobody else? :tweak:

[blitzkrgCT9A]

we will be going. AWD Modified Class

[turtl631]

I don't live in Cali, so no way.

But I'm intrigued by this JIC S14, considering that their S15 was first a drift car and it did pretty well. A purpose built car can only be faster, no?

[kognition]

Oh shit, JC Meynet is in your class. We just made a splitter for him. Wicked fast car. Good luck! :2f2f:

[kognition]

Yes Jon K. does some pretty impressive suspension work, so i have no doub't that he will have the center roll of that car completely edited for insane tracking.

[owenxguo]

I might be there running modified RWD

[slider2828]

Wassup owen, this is Ken... You installed some tires for me on my red s13. The one with the dead battery. Anyways.... I wanna see your friends S chassis on the track....

BTW, I think you didn't balance one of my tires cause it has 0 weight on it.... Checked it at friends shop and it was off.....

[Sniper]

I hope to be running in the redline Time attack maybe next year with my S13.:2f2f: but all i can do at this point is hope to just watch...:( and learn :)

[rb25_s13*CHUKI]

Hopefully by this summer My coupe should be ready to start doing time attacks.. I hope to hit it big too... Maybe ill see you out there!:rawk:

[NI_YON_Zenki]

Alright, Yeah, I am familiar with the 8 & the not so much care about the evo (still interested?) as there are a plenum of mitsu AWD auto T.A'n it up around here. I am familiar with AMS, I do look at them from time to time regarding the unlimited class, they ran well against others at Caliway back in early early 07.

my anticipation honestly, is this JIC 911. I feel that should be a complete T.A auto over drift, but I fully comprehend why this car is on the Drift circuit as well.

I would love to drive the car, but I would need to bring my own seat to transfer!

Kognition, best regards out there, what tires will you be implementing for this season.
I'm working on getting streets on the schedule board.

[sideview_180sx]

lay off the weed skip haha.

hey mike my friend wanted to see about if you guys could do some pre-preg pieces for his IS300. he is part of SEMA management and wanted to see if you would be interested in hearing him out.

[kognition]

Thank's :bigok:
Well, i am still using Hoosier R6's . And will be using some Toyo R888's this summer.

[kognition]

By the way, for anyone in the Mid Western area of the country, we have an April vent at Gateway International Raceway. And we will need event volunteers, so please let me know if you are interested. Redline staff will be flying out, but the rest of us will be trailering into town. This event is in conjunction with NOPI Drift. So it will definitely be packed with entertainment.

I will post a digital flyer in a separate thread shortly. :2f2f:

BTW, your gonna love the R888's. My first run with these has me completely SOLD on them. And thats without getting them up to optimum temps.
I will probably run nothing but these for now on.

[steve shadows]

I need r-comps, not going to make it in time : (

[kognition]

Hey Chris,
Yep if they can hold a heavy car down like the 350Z then they are good enough for our cars.

[kognition]

I know the feeling. I won't have the extra money until next month for the Toyos. And that's stretching it since i have to trailer to Mo. next month.

[ESCALVANTE]

I'll be there on the 29th.

All this team talk is making me wonder whether or not this event will be for weekend warriors like me. Seems like all these teams will be running the track event. :coolugh:

How many 'normal' guys will attend and run their cars on Saturday?

EDIT: Are any of you guys renting garages?

[kognition]

Not to worry :D
Teams are typically in the unlimited class with a few exceptions in modified. I say teams which can mean anything from me, my dog and a friend... to Chris Rado , AMS, Harman Motive or JIC. It's FULL of regular guys.

I was going to show up regardless and if I had to steal an apex or two, or three, from the JIC S14 or the Mines R35... well, you gotta do what you gotta do. :bigok:

Anyhow, I'm real excited and can't wait to get out there. :2f2f:

I wonder if there any garages left as the folks at Buttonwillow have not returned my call. :confused:

[kognition]

I think you need to email Chris or Nikolas on the garages. I believe you reserve a garage when you register online for the event. ButtonWillow does not handle garage details to my knowledge. They don't have alot of garages there, it's kindof country out thar. :)

Well not entirely. They have show cars from all makes and models.

I just hope they put those cars on the North side of the track so people that are walking around won't crowd the driveways. :smash:

[kognition]

Well, theres my S14 pictured in my sig, and the S15 registered could be a white one that was at Laguna Seca last Nov.. not sure. JIC S14 i have not seen yet. I am excited to see a S2000 finally in unlimited. I am sure Tyler will do well with this super light car.

kognition: Thanks.

Since the Mines GTR is rumored to appear, check this out:

According to Road & Track, a stock GTR hit 1:56.9 at Buttonwillow CW13!!!
http://www.roadandtrack.com/assets/image/2008/W12/031720081238272900.jpg

GT-R
1/4 = [email protected] 116.5
0-120 = 12.7
BW lap time: 1:56.9

Z06
1/4 = 11.7 @ 123.7
0-120 = 10.7
BW lap time: 2:02.2

997TT
1/4 = 11.7 @ 121.2
0-120 = 11.5
BW lap time: 2:02.1

I'm guessing the Mines GTR will post a time in the low 1:50s.

[kognition]

I have never seen the Mine's GTR at any Redline event. There's a first time for everything though. I am sure there will be a few last minute entrys, everybody is working overtime as we speak to be ready. I know i am, on two cars.

That CWest S2000 looks vicious, I like it.

[kognition]

Yes that car has clocked something like a 1:54 ish time at ButtonWillow when it was NA. So with a turbo who knows.

I can't wait to go to this event. See you guys there :)

[khoadogg]

damn! i so planned on going! but it's my gf's 25th bday!!! damn it!!!!!!!!! WHY?!!??!??!?!?!!!?

[ESCALVANTE]

Yes that car has clocked something like a 1:54 ish time at ButtonWillow when it was NA. So with a turbo who knows.

That car ran a 1:53.xx with Tarzan behind the wheel. With the help of a turbo it should be at least a few seconds faster this time around.

I'm hoping to get at least a 2:10-2:12 down from my previous 2:14 this time around.

[ESCALVANTE]

I can't wait to go to this event. See you guys there :)

Are you guys caravaning with anyone else to the event on Saturday morning?

[blitzkrgCT9A]

Not sure whos caravaning with us right now.. I think we are heading there on Friday afternoon or Saturday morning.

[ESCALVANTE]

Let me know if you would like to meet off the I-5 at the Roxford exit. :bigok:

[all stock]

i'll see you guys there. me and my buddy with an h4 car are going into modified. sucks cuz car's not built for time attack, but it's all good. hope to have some fun.

[ESCALVANTE]

So how did everyone do this weekend?

I actually went a few seconds slower than last time because I had some issues. I had a nasty spin and messed my up alignment and that just ruined my chances of getting faster out there. Needless to say I made the best of it and had a great time. I'm just glad I got to track my car again. :rawk:

[s14_legend]

looked like a great event... definitely will check out the next one

[steve shadows]

I wouldnt have been able to go anyways

I was sick as a dog in bed since Friday :(

[kognition]

I was pretty happy with my times considering what i was working with.
2:10 looked to be my fastest time. Putting me at #10 of the 20 fastest cars out there. I almost did not make it because i had lost so much time this month
with doctor visits with the wife.
Forgot my rear side windows at home, did not get new race bumper finished,,, blah blah..... headlite delets did not get here in time. SOS basically.
We showed up fashonably late on Sunday morning, and i started leaking coolant at a banjo bolt on the turbo, so i decided to pass on the last run of the day. Always a learning experience :rolleyes:

Heres all i had time to shoot yesterday.
A customer of ours, JC Meynet dominated the AWD street class, and also took a 2nd in AWD modified with his Suby. He runs our race splitters, and took home a healthy $700 in Kognition cash contingency money! $400 1st place, and $300 2nd place. There were alot of camera crews running around, all in all it was a great event despite a few mishaps. Tyler gave a mustang a good love tap in the butt because he wouldn't move over despite his obvious slower car. It was great!

What was going on with the car?...

I know your car can do at least 5 seconds faster...

[kognition]

Well it's probably the stock lsd, and the year old hoosiers. I need to get some autox tires that can warm up quicker. And i need more track time. :)

[MiataCharles]

I was driving a Red 240SX in Street RWD class, even tho its supposed to be a drift car. Clocked 2"04s in the time attack and got 5th place in my class. I was very very satisfied coz i was running on Azenis RT-615, 0.7 stock boost on stock S13 Red Top, 2 way LSD + STD coilovers with no alignment since the last drift days. Would have gotten 1st place in class if I registered for drift class, hehe!

[all stock]

2:12 in mr, stock ka
my buddy ran a 2:07 in his h4 civic. 138fwhp to the hub

[Jeff Jones]

I ran a 2:12 also stock SR and 615s. damn intercooler piping kept coming off

[kognition]

Still all very respectable times though. :)
I will break that 2 minute barrier someday :Ownedd:

cool times. 1:48 S2000? wow

Almost nipped the record? no?

[kognition]

Yep, there will be pics surfacing of that last run. Tyler hitting the back of the Mustang that refused to let him pass. :naughtyd:

H Schelley ran a 2:05 with Federal 595 RS

I ran 2"04 with RT-615 stock SR. Is Federal 595RS better or worse? Hes the white S14 guy right? I shoulda signed up for drift group really...

[vvtisupra]

beats me. I think they are about the same. I think the car was still an automatic 1 week before time attack

[Flybert]

O snap, Henry is doing time attack? Good stuff. I want to take my car out there one day.
