Owner of Buttonwillow’s Unlimited class track record is the FX Motorsports Development NSX driven by Billy Johnson. What can be said about this car that hasn’t been said before? Incredible aero, power, suspension and driving combine to make this car US time attack’s crowning achievement. This year might be the greatest contest of all and I for one cannot wait until the sun rises over Buttonwillow the morning of November 14th. We’ve got extra MotoIQ reading for FXMD as well. A little dated, but see where it’s come in 3 years of development! Driver Billy Johnson has done it all and done it well. He also happens to contribute to MotoIQ. Read away and learn his lines to get a Fast Lap! |
FX Motorsports Development has been developing one NSX, for 8 years, to be the king of Buttonwillow. There’s no doubt that with their current overall lap record of 1:40.379, they have achieved that goal and now is the time to fight off any contenders to the throne. Back driving this year is the boy wonder, Billy Johnson, who has turned a wheel in all forms of motorsports from Formula Star Mazda to Grand Am Rolex, heck, even NASCAR Nationwide events. In addition to their Buttonwillow record, FXMD holds records at Auto Club Speedway (1:36.103 *Fastest RWD*), Las Vegas Motor Speedway Full Course (1:43.145 *Overall Fastest*), Long Beach Grand Prix (1:30.170 *Overall Fastest*), Laguna Seca Raceway (1:31.440 *Overall Fastest*), Willow Springs Raceway (1:18.555 *Overall Fastest*), Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch (2:13.057 *Overall Fastest*), Carolina Motorsports Park (1:30.630 *Overall Fastest*) and Infineon Raceway (1:34.564 *Overall Fastest* *Tyler McQuarrie driving*).
If you’ve made it through this comprehensive preview of time attack competitors for this year’s Global Time Attack/Super Lap Battle Finale you know that this may be the strongest field ever to hit the track at Buttonwillow. November 14th will be the day when it all boils over and we see what new records are written into history!
