SLB 2011 Finals RESULTS

Elliott — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 20:33:53 +0000

It was another exciting day at the track with five records being broken this year. FXMD NSX not only set a new Unlimited FR record but broke the Overall Record held by Sierra Sierra with a lap time of 1:40.981. Earlier in the day the FXMD driver, Tyler McQuarrie had popped his shoulder out with the excessive amount of force the NSX has through the corners. Big congrats to Tyler and the entire FXMD team for pulling it on the last session of the day. Chris Rado from World Racing also broke his previous Unlimited FF record with his Scion tC, his lap time was a impressive 1:47.394. In the Limited class we saw Berk Technology’s BMW 135 set the new Limited FR record with a time of 1:53.221 and Sportcar Motion’s Integra set a new Limited FF record with a 1:54.789. In Street class we saw for the first time a Street FF car to break into the sub 2 minute lap times, Clint Boisdeau pulled a 1:59.086 in his 2005 Ford Focus.

Super Lap Battle x Alphanumeric

Elliott — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 22:11:26 +0000

If anyone was into the car scene in the 90′s they should know who Alphanumeric is, they had released a shirt with a technical drawing of a B16 motor. They were one of the first clothing companies to recognize the import scene and this shirt soon became a classic. With Alphanumeric’s return they worked with us on re-creating this classic exclusively for the race teams at the Super Lap Battle Finals on November 11th.

Tires and Super Lap Battle Records

Elliott — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 00:05:20 +0000

When Super Street brought the first time attack to the US in 2004 there were very few rules. There were only two classes, Limited and Unlimited, no tube frame chassis or push rod motors were allowed, Limited Class cars had to retain their factory glass and tires had to be legal for use on public roadways in either the US, Japan or Europe. Over time we have had to update the rule book as things became more competitve, in 2005 we introduced UTQG miniums and in 2006 we added the Street Class. Even with these updates and additions to the rule book we have always kept it as open as possible to allow tuners the room to innovate. The whole spirit of this competition is to see who really is the fastest, who is the best at overall setup not just who can make the most horsepower or look the prettiest.

Our event has the longest standing history of time attack events in the United States, at the end of the year the overall record has always been set at our Finals. One of the constants in this is the fact that all cars competiting have to be on a tire that is legal for road use (in the US it means it has to be DOT approved).
