Hello everyone! It's that time again. Redline Time Attack will be visiting Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia for the 2nd year in a row. We are looking forward to this event with a lot of anticipation. Our inaugural event last year was a success and we expect this year's event to be nothing short of outstanding.
More and more top tuner companies and racers are expressing interest in coming out and being involved. We will be expanding our High Performance Driving Event on the Saturday of the event with formal instruction available to everyone (and mandatory for first timers). We're working on a much larger vendor midway and manufacturer presence this year, including representation from tire manufacturers and vehicle manufacturers.
For those of you interested in taking your car out on the track, we have kept our entry fees very reasonable for this year. The entry fee for Saturday's High Performance Driving Event is only $175 and you can expect to receive 2.5 hours of On Track time. There is no racing on Saturday, simply hot lapping and practice.
The entry fee for the Redline Time Attack on Sunday is only $200. If you want to attend both days of the event, the entry fee is only $350.
Here is a link to our registration page for the event:
http://redlinetimeattack.com/index-6Summit07.htm
We are working on a couple of ideas for a pre-event promotional date. Please visit our website for updates on what you can expect to see at the event (drivers, teams, vendors, entertainment, etc). Spectator entry fee for the event will only be $15 (good for both days)... and if you get your hands on one of our event promotional fliers, those are good for $5 off (you will also be able to download the coupon from our website). We will also have a car show on Sunday for those of you not interested in taking your car on the track but who want to show the car off. Each Car Show registration comes with 2 spectator passes good for the entire weekend.
If you have any questions for me, please post them here. You can also call us if you have a question that you need answered quickly. We hope to see some of you out at the track!

I was planning on running the tC in the Street Class...but it may have to wait till next year...between buying a new autox car and getting it ready for next year's season I can't justify the wheels and tires I'd need for this event...(it seems the RS1 Enkeis aren't cut out for track duty--I've had to have the fronts straightened after each of the last two track events I ran--the combo of brake heat and lateral load are too much for these 18s). If I get my new toy in time I might bring it down.
We were there last year in an Evo (see pics and story here (http://www.jscspeed.com/events/rlta_080806.htm)) and had a blast!

I've been lookin forward to this since last year. I think I have a chance this year my car is better than ever. Finally have some decent tires and light wheels now, my suspension is far better set-up, and my brakes too, plus I'm putting out more power, can't wait.

haha yea the autoxin was fun we def gave each other run for the $$. i did just replace my busted strut lmao i just will be paranoid that something will happen again and dont wanna go thru that lol. But i know what you mean, its one thing being a FR out there and hitting it up, but another being a FF and running with the rest not to mention being unique out there. Car show portion ehhhhhh, my car is not a show car, it looks nice but its def not perfect cause i drive it the way i wanna with out worry about if i get a chip or scratch or dent. If im gonna do anyting it will be the Time attack. Maybe ill just do that. i do know the track well enough that i dont need practice. :ponder:

Also, anyone from out of the area I will give you a place to crash no charge! (Travis) you would probably be competitive there the course is technical but has 2 really nice straitaways too. The car that won FWD Street last year was a VW GTI (new style) with suspension work and minor bolt ons. If you think you can keep up with that then you have a good chance! Also 2nd place was a STOCK acr srt-4 neon, and 3rd was a STOCK Civic Si.

I'm not arguing because it's not going to effect me, but I interpret this rule like I would any other motorsports rule in that if it isn't specifically included it's not legal--especially considering they say no quarter panels or doors...so why would a fender (which is basically a front quarter panel) be allowed?
blown_xa
08-23-2007, 05:12 PM
i guess that's a fine line, but from working in the collision repair industry for so long... a quarter panel is definatly definatly not a fender. This rule seems aimed more for safety conserns because the roof, doors, and quarter panels all surrond the driver cabin and oem panels are crash tested, the fenders are just bolted to the front aprons.

As for the 615s...those are great tires for autox and for the first lapping session of the day, so be sure to get your best lap in real early because they get super greasy after a couple 20 minute sessions.

Scion presented itself well at this event. I ended up taking 3rd in FWD Street, it was VERY competitive. Steve Pilkertin in the Funkion Auto Civic took second and Nick Bender in the Tri-state motorsports Civic took 1st. (FWD STREET)
For the Modified class, the PTuning tC took home 1st in the fwds!
Unfortunatly Chris Rado blew another motor in his 1st practice session Saturday due to oil slosh in the "Nurbering" turn (as I call it)
He definatly had the car to take home 1st in Unlimited FWD, as well as being a contender in the overall chase.
