Round #2 of the 2009 Redline Time Attack series is in the books and it certainly was one to remember. This stop of the series was at Willow Springs Raceway. This is a new stop on the Redline Time Attack schedule for 2009 and it proved to be one of the most exciting events so far! Super Lap Battle has run qualifiers at this track for the past three years and in this one event, every Super Lap Battle lap record was demolished despite air temperatures in the low 90s.
Round #1 overall champions FX Motorsports Development returned with hot shoe Billy Johnson to defend their championship title. Fontana Nissan was also there with their Unlimited RWD 350Z to redeem themselves at their “home track” after an engine failure in Round #1. The defending Modified and Street class champions from the season opening event, the Gates311.com Evo X and Reese Tuning/Robispec Evo VIII were also back to defend their positions on top of the podium. We also saw the return of 2008 Unlimited FWD champion Chris Rado in a newly re-built time attack Scion tC as well as new comers Sierra Sierra Enterprises in their Unlimited AWD Mitsubishi Evo VIII.
The Unlimited Class was absolutely incredible to watch at this event…Â Details

This race isn’t turning out so well. My Ford sportscar has spun out of control, and my place near the front of the pack is slipping.
No worries, though. I can just hit rewind.

If the movie industry was the entertainment king of the 20th century, the video-gaming industry is where disposable income is headed for the 21st century. Nowhere was this more apparent than the Electronic Entertainment Expo–E3 for short–going on right now in Los Angeles.
True, the vast majority of the games at E3 involved vixens and/or steroid-shot musclemen shooting and/or chainsawing bad guys and/or zombies. Actual zombie video-game quote overheard at E3: “And when the bullets run out, there’s always the chain saws.†(Another actual quote, “. . . and spray giant pieces of poo!â€)
