#GRIDLIFE Travels West for One-Day TrackBattle at Streets of Willow

Before the battle for the Unlimited Class began, Steven Chan was forced to retire, having had a mechanical failure during some shakedown laps run in an HDPE session.  Ryan Passey was given an empty track to see if he could improve the fastest time of the day. Unfortunately, no additional time could be found, and kept his win and FTD of 1:17.036

Ryan Passey’s setup isn’t complicated, but it’s really effective. Big motor in a lightweight and dialed-in chassis produces quality results.

When the dust settled and the brackets were complete, here’s how the results came out:

1st     Omar Kaayal | STREET – FWD | Ford Focus ST | 1:25.843
2nd   Jonathan Lugod | STREET – RWD | Mazda Miata | 1:25.588

  1. Interesting, it’s just like the old Best Motoring Touge battles. As always, having a Tsuchiya as your driver is probably the best investment you can make.
