ABF Redline Time Attack Ca. Speedway 5/ 29/2010

I spent the day with the ABF /Mynes guys at California Speedway where they had another good day with a first place in Street Tire FWD and a second place in the Super Modified FWD. We will be working with them to test some current as well as future products on a ongoing basis .

The ABF / Mynes pit area .


Stock R - 56

And not so stock , R - 53




R- 56 on track


Clint made up a ton of time on the car in front of him . They were using the " roval " course which is really not to the mini's liking as it is lade up of turn 1 , the front straight , turn 2 and most of the back straight of the NASCAR track. One of the Sumer mods was hitting 200 MPH

This series is really becoming quite serious with a good bit of factory participation as well as a growing number of very heavy hitters from the tuning world .
Nissan was well represented .


More GT-r's in one place than I have ever seen .

Mazda

Subaru

Cobb tuning is a big hitter here .






and of course it is a big deal for the various tire companies.



Now THIS is a diffuser .

These guys really go for it .

Tire barriers don't give that much .

Hardware companies are starting to sign on as well .

















Average pre grid

Thats it from the event .

This was one of the more well sorted rides.





Now THIS is a wing .



Carbon fiber goodness



The ABF Mini , ST class points leader and winner this weekend.



The ABF modified entry. Sorry about the blurry shot but Dez was in the approaching 170 mph at this point



Part of the Cobb crew.



Well prepped rides .





First GT-r I've seen with a color changing paint job. It looked blue from the other side LOL



Basic black works as well .



A prime example of a West Coast time attack car. It's getting serious







I have a few more i can put up later to show you why there are fewer cars by the end of the event :(

Last pics from the Time Attack

These last few will give you some idea of how hard these guys are " going for it " . There were two cars coming out a bit banged up on trailors as we arrived earlier in the day. Here are a few more of the casualties.

Some very expensive smoke here .



This one made a big BANG on the back straight and coasted into the pits VERY quiet .



I posted this one earlier . He said he was about 1 expensive inch too close to a tire wall .



And one of the most dreaded of situations , fire .
