Default Forged Performance: Redline Time Attack at Autobahn June 20-21


Hope to see some of you out here. Round 3 of RTA marks the beginning of our 2009 Time Attack Season. I'll be driving our GT-R against some very heavy hitting competition, such as the Takata STi driven by James Elterman, and Ryan Yates in his AMS prepped EvoX. But we'll be well armed.





This is a beautiful facility. These events are open to the public as both spectators, and participants. In addition to the Time Attack, there is also an open track day, some come on down!

From RTA's website:

Round 3 at Autobahn will be our first stop for the east coast swing of the Redline Time Attack. A new track for Redline, but one that's sure to be an exciting venue as we bring Time Attack racing to the midwest!

Saturday, June 20th is an Open Test and Tune Day and High Performance Driving Event. High Performance Driving School is available for Sauturday's HPDE. All are welcome to attend.

Saturday, June 21st is the Redline Time Attack Race Day. Gates will open at 9am to spectators. Time Attack racing starting at 12pm

All are welcome to attend! We have a class for you. You can sign up for Saturday or Sunday only, or the entire two day event. Time Attack racing is not mandatory for those who want to register for the HPDE/open track on Saturday.

For more information, visit www.forgedperformance.com

Great, see you Friday night. We are also staying at the Hampton Inn in Joliet.
I think I might be having dinner with the guys from AMS. You are welcome to join us.

Stormcrow...I doubt you could handle the 11 hr drive...could you? Especially with me behind the wheel of the rig.

We tow at 75-80mph and get just 7mpg. If I slowed down to a normal 65mph, I could get 10mpg....but what fun is that.

Yes, I believe they are coming..not sure if it's the G, the Z, or both.

Do you want me to pass along a message to Mr. Bushy?

Savannah is a 3 hour drive or so...not too far. Come on down! Just let me know when, so I clean up the shed, and properly greet you.
