Firstly this is by no means supposed to be a complete list of Time Attack competitors by any means, I apologize in advance to any teams I may miss and if any of you team owners out there feel you you'd like to be included in part 2 shoot me an email at gstmike@gmail.com
FXMD - Acura NSX
Typically this car is driven by either Billy "I stole Mike's last Corona" Johnson or Tyler "Sandbag" McQuarrie and driven very well both being excellent drivers. The car itself thanks to Andrew "Sushi" Brilliant has more Aero than Boeing and probably generates more downforce than a 400lb hooker on ride on top nights! Given Acura's already fantastic platform the guys at FXMD had a great starting point that they have now taken to the extreme. This car is now the recognized holder of the famous Buttonwillow 13CW record that all US based teams are judged by and promised to take it even further in 2012, given the whole teams passion and hard work nobody could doubt they wont just do that!
World Racing - Scion tC
Driven by the one and only (thank God there's only one of him!) Christian "Mike's my Daddy" Rado, Christian's probably improved his track driving the most in a short amount of time of anyone I have ever met. Coming from being a car bowling homo :) he's now a force to be reckoned with on all things that turn and twist! The cars setup and support is some of the very best out there with the whole wrecking crew at World Racing being like the A-List of all things fast and crazy! Be it the engine builder Gary "I need to work out more" Kubo, Fabricator Scott "I canz build anything y0!" Stanwood, Crew Chief Rob "Mike stole your nitrogen" Cordona or any of the other nutballs like Mikey, Kareem, Cobra and Co. You can be sure whatever form the Fwing 2.0 comes out in this year it will be one to watch. What I am curious about is there any other FWD car to come out and bring the heat to Captain Chaos and Co??
OMG - Subaru STI
Driven by the one and only JC "Rules" Meynet, this car probably owns more Modified class records than any other car in the US. Love him or loathe him nobody can doubt JC's skills and his cars competitiveness. The big question is can he get time off from being MotoX Dad to make the events, if he can then the rest of the Modified class better have their shit together!
LIC Motorsports - Subaru STI
Owned and operated by the Levy's! I can't say about driver as they have had a few of them lately with the most recent being Gary "I have hairy feet" Sheehan, personally I hope they stick with Gary who is an awesome driver! This car is probably the cleanest car on the scene and would not look out of place at a car show. The Levy's have some pretty neat engineering into their car and with more track time are for sure one of the car's that would push JC all the way. If they come out to the events look for them to be right up there at the top of the Modified class times!
Insane Speed - Mitsubishi Evo IX
Owned and driven by Trent "Westphal shat in my house" Choi! I think the biggest question I have on this car is whether or not Trent will finish building his unobtainium engine coupled with his Yugo 55 dry sump kit. If he does and knowing the power he likes to run this car should be a more than capable contender for the podium in unlimited.
Ok that wraps up part one, part two will be up on the blog middle of next week. Till that time remember to keep pushing the pedal all the way down!
