Redline Time Attack - Auto Club (California) Speedway - M-WorkZ 350Z takes 2nd!

stuntman · 07-22-2008, 12:42 AM

Over the past weekend, the M-WorkZ 350Z (www.m-workz.net) finishes 2nd in Unlimited RWD and 3rd overall.

The 350Z was the only car in the top 5 that didn't compete on a brand new set of Hankook's super-sticky C91 tire every session, let alone at all!

Finishing with a time of 1:42.3, the M-WorkZ 350Z was only .7 seconds off of the C-West S2000 who won Unlimited RWD and finished 2nd overall to the GST Impreza.

nice work...should have run the stickies...

SinCity350Z · 07-22-2008, 09:07 AM

Nice job Billy and M-Workz! That is a fast time for sure.

Boozt, I think they did run the stickies on the last session when they got the 1:42. That was the first and only time they ran them though is I think what he is saying. The other cars ran them all day.

Our set of Hankooks were used well past their prime. On top of that, they were 8 months old.

Were they still better than the R1s?

I run the BFG R1's for track days...they work well. I run the Hoosier A6 for AutoX...they work flawless! Toyo T1R's for the street...No complaints and last pretty long for aggressive driving.

SinCity350Z · 07-22-2008, 11:32 AM

We currently run Hoosier R6 for Unlimited Class (295/315), but after this past weekend seeing the times that other teams got out of the Hankooks vs. their other Unlimited tires I am starting to get curious.

If you make the switch...give a full report. It's nice to hear other comparisons. When I looked into the Hankook's...they didn't have the sizes I wanted. I run 265's front with 285 rears R1's on 8.5 and 9.5 forged NISMO's

stuntman · 07-22-2008, 12:59 PM

Used BFGs to used Hankook C91s: 5 seconds

SinCity350Z · 07-22-2008, 01:35 PM

holy crap...

So how much faster do you think the Hankooks would be compared to a Hoosier R6?

New vs. new? -At that track - 5-7 seconds minimum

SinCity350Z · 07-22-2008, 02:17 PM

WOW... 5-7 seconds would be nice.

That seems like its too good to be true. Thanks Billy.

but it is true.

SinCity350Z · 07-22-2008, 07:18 PM

What sizes did you run on the M-Workz car? I can't find any info on sizing and the sizing on their website I am unfamiliar with lol.

I'm curious as to why you are not running the A6?

If I could afford to buy a new set of Hoosiers for each event I would run the A6.

More specs on the car? That's a terrific time...nearly 10 seconds faster than the modified group.

Have Steve set up your Z for time attack, track days, or better ride on the street!

I originally went to his website, but didn't see any specs on the car. I am a crappy reader....did I miss it?

Great driving Billy, congratulations to you and to Steve Mitchell (M-Workz) for having a well driven and well setup car. Sounds like the car is now a contender for outright wins in Unlimited class...

Congratulations also to the other 350Z podium finishers:

Double Down team (3rd place Unlimited RWD, 2nd place Modified RWD) of Relentless Autosports, Scott Bush and Mike Bonnani

Verena Mei for winning the Drift class

SPL is proud to be the suspension multilink provider for all 3 cars. Some day we hope to be able to compete in person again
