They say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Like many of you, I have an obsession with the automobile that delves way past fanatical. My addiction came unwarranted and I had no defense mechanism to ward it off, all of a sudden one day I started looking at cars in [...]
Let’s go ahead now and take a second look at Wednesday’s action from the Super Lap Battle event at Buttonwillow. As I said in the first post, there’s nothing quite like a Time Attack event to cleanse oneself after a week at SEMA. Here we see the UMS Tuning Evo getting a little work done [...]

There's something very calming about attending a time attack event. As with all other motorsport events, there's a certain rhythm to the day's proceedings.

Turkey, football, and people lining up in the middle of the night to buy cheap electronics. These are all November traditions for us here in the United States. For us automotive folk, another November tradition is the Super Lap Battle event at Buttonwillow Raceway. Yesterday, I drove up to meet Linhbergh and Larry Chen [...]
2009 was a year of big developments for the American time attack scene. With both the Redline series and Super Lap Battle running events, competitors had plenty of chances to leave their marks this year on race tracks all over the country. We saw the competition get tighter, and the cars getting faster – particularity [...]
The 2009 American time attack season is now behind us. Following the Super Lap Battle at Buttonwillow on Wednesday, the Redline Time Attack series wrapped up their season at California Speedway over the weekend.

Hey, I thought November was supposed to be the off-season for car events? With SEMA, the VIP Festival, and Wednesday's Super Lap Battle, it's been a busy week of Speedhunting for me – and it's not over yet.

Every November for the past several years, America's (and the world's) fastest tuner cars have gathered at Buttonwillow Raceway for a one-day battle in the dusty and fragrant Central Valley of California. Upon arriving at the track, I noticed the paddock appeared a little emptier than past years. Nonetheless, all the top players in the [...]
