VIDEO: First Place at Extreme Time Attack & Round 8 of 2012 AWD Competition Series

On December 16th at Streets of Willow in Rosamond California, I finished first in Extreme Time Attack Street Class, as well as 1rst at Round 8 of the 2012 AWD Competition Series with a lap time of 1:23.398. It felt good to close out 2012 with a couple of wins.

I had been running consistent mid to high 23's in every session, but was able to crank out a low 23 in the first time attack session. For the second time attack session, the timing file for my run group unfortunately got corrupted. I knew I went fast in that round as well. The next day after I got home, I ended up going over the video footage and timed my laps with a stop watch. I did it five times in a row and it was anywhere from 1:22.8 to 1:23.00.

Either way, my 1:23.398 was good 1rst in ETA Street Class, and 1st in the AWD Competition Series, and also was a new Personal Best on this track and configuration.

This was the final round for the AWD Competition Series, and I ended up finishing 3rd overall for 2012 out of 33 people in street class. I missed 2nd place overall by 5 points, and 1st place by 15 points. Attackthetrack.com wrote a nice article recapping the season in AWD: http://www.attackthetrack.com/season...etiton-series/

Car Details:
Evo 9
330 WHP Dynodynamics
KW V3 Coil Overs (Robi-spec street tire set up)
255/40/17 Hankook RS-3
3376lbs w/ driver

Thanks to:
ETS (Extreme Turbo Systems)
KW Suspensions
KT Motoring
Fuel Injector Clinic

These companies have been instrumental in my success, and I wouldn't have been able to get the results I did without their superior products and support! Track proven!

Here is a video of my winning lap:
