Let me tell you a story real quick. Yesterday, I drove all the way to Willow Springs Raceway (about a 2 hour drive through the scorching heat of the Mojave Desert) to shoot the Super Street Super Lap Battle. However, when I showed up at Willow to sign for my media pass, the lady at the gate said, "What? What's Super Street? I don't know of anything like that happening today…"
What?! Oh hell no. It appears we had a bit of a mix up. We received wrong information, and the date we were given for the Super Lap Battle was wrong. Just to confirm, I called Super Street's editor, Jonny Wong, on his cellphone, asking him, "Yo where you at?" "Dude, I'm at the office." OMG! The date WAS wrong. Sigh. JDM Wong laughed at me and said, "Damn, you drove all the way to Willow Springs just now? That sucks! Our event is next weekend, man. I thought you knew?" WTH!!!!
Oh no! What will we do now… I've already committed to go to Las Vegas for Formula D this weekend, but we also promised to do some Time Attack coverage! Good thing for our readers, the Redline Time Attack and Live Sockets Battle are happening at California Speedway in two weeks – the weekend of July 19 and 20. We'll just go to that event.
I just found out that this NSX from Factor X will be competing in the series too. The wide body work looks very aggressive! Aesthetically, I think the car would look cooler if it were lower, but I'm sure there is a reason why they made the car sit this way. I suppose all cars can't have my style of stance and sticker placement…
Come to California Speedway in Fontucky and keep an eye out for this NSX at the Live Sockets Battle! We sure will!
