Fontana Nissan Racing headed out to the Round 3 of the 2010 Redline Time Attack Series on April 22nd.  Friday was an all day test-and –tune day, giving everyone a chance to get to know the outside road course at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.  The weather went from snow, hail, rain, and wind on Thursday to an absolutely picture postcard day Friday. Yeah!!

Mike took the GTR out, familiarized himself with the new configuration of the track, and proceeded to demo/instruct/wow/etc., anyone who dared strap into the Fontana Nissan GTR with him.

The NAGTROC contingent was well represented with many GTR’s in attendance.

Saturday dawned with even nicer weather, warming up into the low 80’s.  Mike took the GTR out and fined tuned a bit to prepare for the Time Attack on Sunday.  Most of the NAGTROC folks ran on Saturday as well, making an impressive display of GTR’s all on the track at the same time.

Mike put together some impressive laps, taking 3rd place in Modified AWD class with a time of 1:44.860.

Redline brought in the Sony PS3 trailer to keep all the young and young-at-heart racers driving constantly. A very popular place!
