Super Lap Battle Finals – FXMD NSX & Tyler McQuarrie Break Overall Time Attack Record

,

Terry Liu in the Platte Forme A.G. BMW Z4 roadster nearly loses a bumper on a high speed portion of the track.  The Z4 is a true street car and was driven to and from the track.  With a little help from the 200mph tape Lui managed to finish 3rd in Street FR.

 

Ben Schwartz of Design Craft Fab spitting flames in his S2000.  The S2000 doesn't have a “body kit”, what you see is all hand formed aluminum on the S2000.  Speaking of bodies, at around 6’ 4” Ben is a really tall guy and I have no idea how he fits in a S2000.  

 

The Snail Performance Subaru WRX driven by Travis Barnes is actually their backup car.  Their usual time attack WRX was down for repairs so they quickly built this street car into a time attack car for SLB.  They took home 3rd place with a time of 2:02.953 in the Limited AWD class.

 

Richie Ho in the APM Racing RSX goes for broke in the Unlimited FF class.  He’s up against guys like Chris Rado in his class but still managed to take 3rd place.  Ho’s RSX is also a MPTCC regular and has no problems running reliably for 30 minutes at a time.  

 

This is the most normal picture of Dez Ballard in existence.  He is not flashing the “shocker” nor is he wearing his trademark shades.  Dez and a certain mystery former magazine editor were the awesome pit crew for the Berk Technology 135i, none of whom got any sleep the night before due to last minute repairs on the oil system.

A big thanks goes out to all the teams and drivers who take the time and effort to build these awesome time attack machines.  Elliot and Source Interlink pulled off another banger of an event in 2011 and we’ll be waiting for November to roll around again in 2012! 

 Here are the full results from Super Lap Battle Finals 2011:

 

Happy Ending!
