Redline Time Attack Round 1 at Buttonwillow CW 13 on Feb 16/17 Weekend. Our plan was to stay in Street Class with Hankook RS3. There were 2 other fast s2000 drivers which already hit 1'59 will be in the same class during the event.

Saturday:
Since we took off the ABS unit completely and installed a Brake Bias valve. We were testing out the car with heat-cycled out RS3 and spending the whole day adjusting the brake bias and different brake pads. Best Time was 2.00.02, we have confident that low 1'59 or high 1'58 is very possible with a brand new set of tires.

Sunday:
Bad news - Rear brake rotors was cracked badly. We had a spare set of front rotors, but not the rear!! So we called around all the part stores in that area and finally found one that will have them available around 12:30pm. In this case, we will miss all the practice session in the morning and the first round of time attack.

Bad news #2 - We tried and read the rules carefully to make our car to stay in street class but we missed our GT-Wing. I never never noticed my wing is that big until today The wing of the car extends out of the rear bumper. Street class denied, we are bumped up to unlimited class to against some ZR1s and full prepped Race cars. I have no choice but to swap in a set of Toyo R-Compound tires instead

At the end, despite the lag of morning practice, we managed a 1'58.5 best time and secured the 2nd place finish. We still have tons of time left on the table, because the brand new tires and brake pads were not broken in, and the time attack session was only 3 laps + 3 laps only. It's very possible that we can achieve at least low 1'57 if everything is going the right direction.
