LCS Round #2 @ Big Willow

It was a great weekend at Willow Springs International Motorsports Park for the second round of the Lotus Challenge Series. It was a busy two days in the Sector111 garage. We were supporting racer Kelley S. and her Union-Jack-wrapped Exige Cup car AND testing numerous parts, including our new Katana2 supercharger kit, on our own Project Nirvana Elise.

We were running the 2.5 mile, 9-turn Big Willow track that is commonly referred to as "the fastest road in the West." This weekend it was especially fast. Like we saw at Buttonwillow last month, the times across the board were far faster than they have ever been. Robb B. had the winning Time Trial lap at a blistering 1:30.88 in his Nitron GT3 & Monolite-equipped Exige S.

We escaped the threat of rain and it ended up being gorgeous all weekend. The entire field of cars proved to be equally as reliable as the weather. There were no earlier retirements due to mechanical failures. The wheel-to-wheel race, also won by Robb, was clean and really fast. The side-by-side rolling starts never get old!

Congratulations to Robb for his TT & Wheel-to-wheel wins!!!
