My time attacks and hdpe recaps

martin82

I will use this thread to recap time attacks, competitions and hdpe events that I attend.

Ran the Nissan Challenge sponsored by Corner3 Garage with Extreme Speed on 4/20/13 and won the RWD Street Class with a 1:33.88 at WSIR. Great turn out, my friend Will with 240sx won Mod class and my other buddy Len Novak with 350Z won 2nd place mod class. We had some traffic on the Advance group sessions which made it difficult to run clean laps. There were a few porsche gt3 going TOO slow and wouldn't allow passing and just gunned it down the straight!! I was able to put down a decent lap time (I normally run low 1:33 and hoping for a 1:31-32 next time out there.

Results for the event we had a really good turn out!!:

1st Martin Choi(370z) 1:33.824

A few weeks back I had my rear camber arm break at the track (will have a detailed write up after this). Mike@Corner3 garage and SPL came to the rescue and Mike got me a replacement SPL rear camber arm the week before my Redline Time Attack event. The car is still not fully aligned, alignment was way off. Front left -2.6, front right -3.6, rear left -1.8 and rear right -3. Obviously car was VERY loose on any right hand turns (didn't have time to get it aligned on time).

For people that don't know this track here is the map layout:


And a video layout not my best lap here, was just testing:

Do you know any details besides what was posted online? I read about a 4pt harness -- submarining injury?? Reading stuff like this always make me nervous about my chosen past time....

Seems like driver lost it at T12 by corkscrew and shot across, thing is that station is very far away so who knows. They shut down the track when it happened and everyone else had to leave, I had friends that where there

Rsx is my friend's car, pretty much a gutted race car and its FAST!

Some data off my Qstarz lap timer:
Have the Qstarz lap timer on the left, out of view but good position to see the timing and predictable laps !!





Comparing my fastest lap with Steve Rice's fastest lap. I am in the green, Steve is in the orange, shows real time once you download the data off the Qstarz
