Global Time Attack/Super Lap Battle Buttonwillow Finale

,

Unlimited Class RWD

Odds are, if you’ve been on any automotive website that caters to speed freaks in the past year, you’ve laid eyes on the JGTC-inspired bodywork on the Evasive Motorsports Scion FR-S. Let it be known that it’s truly stunning in person. It is also seriously fast on-track, though we have no official record of that this year as the boosted EA20 decided to give up the ghost just before timed laps began. However, the Evasive Motorsports team seems largely unfazed and is already planning to swap in their backup engine and return to Buttonwillow to continue developing their FR-S, stating that more power is definitely in the works.

Tony “Hot Cawk” Szirka set a personal best time in the UMS Tuning Mitsubishi Evo with a 1:52.781 and walked away with first place for his trouble. This was 4 seconds faster than 2 years ago, quite impressive for a car that was down approximately 100hp due to a cracked intercooler. Not one to rest on his laurels (whatever laurels are), Szirka is upgrading to Evo X front control arms, an adjustable bump steer kit, heim joints at ALL the points, adding lightness, more power (200hp) and a super secret suspension component to be unveiled at a future date and time.One lap was all that was needed for “Texas” Dave Carapetyan to secured 2nd place in Unlimited AWD with a time of 1:58.663. Sadly, it was also all that was needed to completely remove the front splitter after a minor farming expedition. Bad news, the tires weren’t even warm yet, so the time isn’t a true representation of what this car is capable of. Good news, Texas Dave was planning on upgrading the front aero in preparation for Pikes Peak regardless, so no harm no foul. 2014 looks to be a busy year for Team Rally Ready and the ODR Fab Evo 8; luckily for us more time attack is on the schedule with plans to go to Road Atlanta in May.
Coco Zurita lives his life fast in all aspects mixing racing with BMX. Driving the Road Racing Engineering 2008 Mitsubishi Evo X, Zurita piloted his beast to a 3rd place in Unlimited AWD with a time of 2:00.492. Future plans involve upgrading the car and mixing in video projects to document the fast life.

With the tire smoke cleared, the brake dust settled, and the teams dispersed, Buttonwillow reclaims its sleepy town status, signaling an end to the 2013 season of Global Time Attack. We can’t think of a more fitting end either, with the Super Lap Battle drawing a record number of entrants and showing that time attack is truly beginning to take hold in North America. Variety was present not only in the wide range of cars, from the fully-caged, aerodynamically advanced machines seen in the Unlimited classes to the wayward street cars marked “Enthusiast”, but also in the variety of the participants, who staged a friendly invasion of the United States America, hailing from as far as England and Canada. Regardless of where your allegiance fell in regards to car or country, one thing is for certain – if there is a track record in place, you can be certain that somewhere, someone is toiling away modifying their car, and turning in track time, looking to do one lap faster so they can put their name on the leaderboard for at least one more year.
