The last Redline Time Attack at Beaverun was a blast! RWD class was filled with E36 BMW's, Mustang's and S2000's. But there were no Z or G cars representing! Why??!

Now I'm planning on attending the second east coast event at Summit Point's Shenandoah Circuit! This is a great time for anyone interested in performance driving to come out and there is a class for EVERYONE.

Most of you will probably fall into either Street RWD or Modified RWD. The biggest difference between the two classes is the type of tires allowed. Street requires street tires of course, anything with a 140 rating or higher. Modified class allows DOT-R tires, anything with a 40 rating or higher. Unlimited is basically all out race cars, allowing typical race car mods like lexan windows, slicks, etc. For more rules you can check out the site here- http://www.redlinetimeattack.com

These events are very relaxed. You tech your own car, you supply your own helmet. If the schedule is anything like the last event it will go something like this:

Saturday

Gates Open: 7 AM

Driver's Meeting: 8:30 AM

Novice Practice Sessions: 9-9:30AM
Intermediate Practice Sessions: 9:30-10AM
Advanced Practice Sessions: 10-10:30 AM

Novice Practice Sessions: 10:30-11AM
Intermediate Practice Sessions: 11-11:30AM
Advanced Practice Sessions: 11:30-Noon

Lunch Break: Noon- 1PM

And so forth with two more practice sessions until closing ~5PM

Sunday

Same style but with afternoon sessions being the Time Attack runs which went like this:

You get 5 laps out total; The first is a warm up lap to bring the tires and brakes up to temperature, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th are your hot laps where you want to set your best time, and the 5th and final lap is your cool down session before pitting.

Don't sit there reading this thinking "Oh my car isn't modded enough to compete". That's just a lame excuse. It's why there are different classes for each car based on modifications. Hell, at the last event there were faster laps being put out by the street cars than some of the modified class cars!

Awards
Trophies, plaques, hats, shirts and other prizes will be given out after the event during the Awards Ceremony on Sunday afternoon. The top three places in each class(nine classes total) receive plaques and get their pictures taken with Modified Magazine.

Driver's Instruction was offered at the last event for $40 and I'm sure it will be offered here as well. It is not required but is available if anyone wants it.

Hope to see you guys out there!

 

If my car gets fixed by then (which it should) i'll try to make it out.

It should be fun to see how my FD really holds up against these other cars

 

Maybe we can get this moved to the RR forum?

 

$380 for two days???

 

Sounds interesting... I am registered for a Show in Ocean City that weekend, but if the show in June is not that good, I might skip that and check this out instead. It's on my calendar now..

 

Yes...this is a competition. Not a normal HPDE.

 

even NASA doesnt charge that much for their Time Trials..

 

I might just have to attend this, but I am going to need to get a trailer and tow it there is no way that I am driving to an event where I could wreck my car, or break something.

 

Nihilation...

So what do you get for being a member of the promotion team?

 

would that be different than wrecking at the track?

 

I just mean for the distance that it is away from where I live I understand anything can break at anytime I just dont want to get stranded 3-4 hours from home.

 

I get nothing. No discounts, no deals. I just want this to be a bigger and better event than the last with more competition by providing a larger turnout. It's a lot of fun.

Many people attend HPDE's and act like it's a race. Well, here's your chance to actually do it without a license! An actual competition designed for street cars

How often does that opportunity come around. As far as price goes it's becoming harder to find well run events for less than $200 a day. And this event, which is far better than your normal HPDE is only $380 for two! Not including you get magazine coverage from Modified, free dinner, prizes and plaques/trophies for the winners!

We know that the mid-atlantic has some awesome street cars and great tuners- this is the chance for the east coast to shine and show the west how it's done on our side. And I'll be there!

 

I see one 350Z in street class, I'll see you there!

 

I have to say that this thing was AWESOME!!! I only stayed for the morning practice sessions, but i had a blast. Would have been better if my FD was out of the shop, but i'll take what i can get. Here's just a sample of the 333 pictures i took from the 3 hrs i was there.

Nihilation

Pass that S2K

There we go!!

 

This S2K looked SICK!!!

Posted a fast time too!

 

AMS Evo

This car ran a 1:33.719 during the practice session





Yep, that's a Noble M400. Only there for the car show

 

Alex Hudspeth's 615 hp S2K!!!!



Look at that paint job!!!!!!

 

 

Holy crap that was fast! Awesome pics! Do you have the original of the first one you posted??

I managed to pull off a 1:45.8 for 2nd place. And damn that S2000 hauled ***...

 

1. Yeah, i was keeping a close eye on him. Seemed like he was always close behind...or passing a LOT of people.
2. Thanks, first time i've really tired taking pics at a track event. Wish there were some more blur to the pics, but they captured the cars well.
3. Yep!!


4. So that's 2 second place finishes huh!? I'll have to take some driving lessons when i get my car back... Congrats!!
