Evasive did pretty well. there evo took a beating though. the crosswinds were very harse and ripped there wing right off the car and left the pillars. at least i think that was the cause for the wing coming off. i have pics and a few videos. won't be able to post them till tomorrow.
Congrats to everyone that ran. that was definitely an eventful race.

Congrats to Ryan Gates for taking the Modified class win!
It was nice meeting you, I meant what I said.... "Congrats to you and your crew, your crew being yourself."
I think its super impressive that you were the only guy there without a crew, and you still won.
Also, congrats to James from Reese Tuning for taking the win in the Street Class!
Car looked very fast!

What a crazy weekend. The track conditions were worse than any time attack i've been to at Buttonwillow. I would guess the track conditions were anywhere from 0.5-1.5 seconds slower depending on the session due to the heavy winds kicking up dirt onto the track and the excessive offs. There were over 60 street-class cars competing, some of them need a little more seat time to be able to keep their cars on the track.
This weekend saw some track records fall (despite the poor track conditions):
Modified FWD: perviously held by the Sports Car Motion EG Civic (Tim K.) - 1:55.948
1:55.809 - Sports Car Motion EG Civic (Tim K.)
Street FWD: previously held by the Evasive Civic SI (Mike C.) - 2:03.557
2:00.552 - Mazdaspeed/Playstation/Bergenholtz Racing Mazda 3 (Dino).
Unlimited RWD: previously held by C-West/BC S2000 (my buddy Tyler McQuarrie) - 1:46.893
1:45.516 - FX Motorsports Development/Cricket Wireless/Yokohama Tire/KW Suspension NSX (Billy Johnson).
This is also the fastest US-built Time Attack car, with only 2 Japanese-built cars that are faster (Tomei/Cusco STI - 1:44.3 and HKS EVO - 1:43.5).
With 3 overall wins and track records under their belt (Laguna Seca, Long Beach, Buttonwillow), the FX Motorsports Development NSX is the fastest time attack car in the USA.
Our Story:
I'd like to thank all of our sponsors for making all of this possible:
FX Motorsports Development
Cricket Wireless
Yokohama Tire
KW Suspension - 3/way race dampers
Uehara Motowerks
Downforce.biz - Aero
RC Fuel Injectors
BREMBO - F50/Lotus caliper and 2pc rotor
Performance Friction Brakes (PFC 01)
FIX & STACK Restaraunt in Las Vegas
GoPro Motorsports Hero
Our team (FXMD) has been working on this car for months, pulling all-nighters to get it finished in time. The NSX platform has a lot of shortcomings in the drivetrain. Since we are the fastest NSX generating more grip than any other car, we are paving the way and have to solely figure out the solution to the problems presented from going this fast. The whole team has done an amazing job, most of which you can't see by looking at the car. We had a accusump failure which prevented us from running it (had no backup), but the internal changes the team did to the car made it hold up to the abuse that caused it to blow up in the past. After tearing the transmission down and finding out what happened, we will be that much further ahead in terms of reliability with the aim of taking the overall record of 1:43.5 held by the HKS EVO. It's attainable, the platform has the potential, and we are looking forward to the next one.
Thanks,
