Just a note, at the last Meet hundreds of dollars in raffle prizes were given out. Honestly, nearly everyone got a gift of some kind.  And not just some cheesy Cracker Jack toy, either.  Good stuff like entries into a Redline Time Attack event, HB Speed tuning, Fontana Nissan Parts gift certificates etc etc etc.

Oh, I forgot to mention DJ POW. Seriously, this I gotta see. He competes very successfully in the Redline Time Attack Series and I never suspected he had other talents!

See you there!!

A Hot Time at the RTA Liberty Grand Prix!

IMG_8587

As to be expected, the temperature at Willow Springs Raceway in July is HOT. But the air temp was not the only thing hot at the Redline Time Attack Round 6 Liberty Grand Prix. Great time attack action, plenty of girls, a spicy Indian food vendor, and a great fireworks show all added heat to a fun weekend!

Once again, Fontana Nissan was host to a gaggle of Nissan GT-R’s attending the Friday test and tune day.  Always good to see all of the guys enjoying their cars!!

The Fontana Nissan 350Z ran strong all day on Friday, posting very quick times considering the heat.  Naoto from Sakata Motorsport Electronics was working his computer magic on the ECU.

Mr. Cronin brought out his Ferrari to have a bit of fun. It is always nice to have such a sexy,beautiful thing under the awning! The car, not Mr. Cronin.

Since school is out for the summer the entire Cronin family was able to attend and enjoy the action.

Always reliable, the GT-R posted some quick times Friday and Saturday. Sunday during the morning record assault time attack, Mike suddenly had half the boost he was supposed to have. The crew was able to reset the ECU and Mike was good to go for the afternoon time attack. By then, the track temps had risen considerably and everyone’s times were much slower. Mike settled for 5th place in the Modified AWD class.

In addition to the Fireworks show Saturday night, Redline hosted run-what-you-brung drag racing! 1000 ft course with a tree and timing slips proved irresistible to many of the time attack drivers, including Mike Jr. and Mike Sr.  The GT-R with Mike Jr at the wheel lined up against Dez Ballard and his radical Mini Cooper. Dez smoked the tires and Mike was long gone!

Mike Sr lined up against a fellow Ferrari and had a great time. Over and over. And over again!

Unfortunately, Saturday morning saw the 350Z break a cam shaft, ending the weekend. The crew is currently working on the motor and the car will be ready for the Spring Mountain event in September.

Parts guru Scott Vanderheide and his lady Kerryann tried to keep cool under the awning, but by Sunday afternoon it was all but impossible unless you sat in the drink cooler.

Or had an umbrella.

Mikey and Dad still had fireworks in their eyes after the big show!
