Its a stretch, I know… but when you’re in the heart of all things Country Music, you cannot help yourself. Let me try another original. I fell in to the burnin ring of lap times. I went round, round round, and laps got faster… and those turns, turns, a new lap record…. a new lap record!.
Sorry Johnny Cash. My bad.
Anyway, once again, a time attack team has taken an existing record, and destroyed it at a Redline Time Attack. This week, thanks to Luke Russell and the team from Top Speed, Nashville Superspeedway’s old record for a “street car” has been tossed aside and forgotten. The old SCCA record for a unibody car, not of a tube-frame, had been 1:04.095 (:58.9 appears to be the ultimate record in a Star Mazda). Not anymore.
In the second session of the time attack, Russell managed to squeeze out a 1:03.702 from the Top Speed Subaru Impreza Brighton, earning himself first place in the unlimited all-wheel class, as well as the overall championship.
Your class winners:
Overall and Unlimited Class Champion
Luke Russell / Top Speed Subaru Imprezza Brighton / 1:03.702
Modified Class Champion
James Elterman / Takata Subaru STI / 1:06.633
Street Class Champion
Michael Ostby / GT Motoring RSX Type S / 1:11.998
