LiveSockets Battle Series Videos Up

July 20, 2008 is going to be Live Sockets Battle Series, Redline Time Attack! Round 4, and J's Gathering Car Show at California Speedway (Auto Club Speedway).

If you guys have heard about it or not, Live Sockets Entertainment has teamed up with Redline Time Attack! to do a circuit battle series pitting teams in head-to-head battle. So for those time attacking, watching, or at car show, keep an eye out for these cars as they battle

As you all know, Cali Speedway's Roval track configuaration is not only about downforce, it's also about power. Using the oval part of the track and with a few long straights calls for high speeds.

UPDATE

Here's a recap of the teams. Battle Announcement

C-West/BC/Hankook S2000

GST Motorsports Impreza

Focus Auto Sales Skyline GT-R34 V-Spec

Cobb Tuning Skyline GT-R35

No school but the Old School... I'd like to see Jacko and his crew's R34 win, but Cobb's R35 is looking fierce. And of course I'd love to see Factor X in the finals.

Overall this event was great. Other than missing the first practice session because there was nobody at the pumps to fill the car up, everything went smoothly for us. Ended up with a 1:57.853 which put me in 4th for street awd class. All in all for my first time attack i'm pretty happy with the results and I had a blast :biggrin:

 

[nsxjacko]

Awesome event.

Billy was able to put down a 1:49.944 with fading brakes and untuned suspension in my GTR.

That boy is fast!

Gas station stinks....very expensive and open only certain times of the day.

Bring your own gas next time is what I learned.

Just wanted to post up some images from the Live Sockets Battle Series this past weekend. Cobb Tuning Skyline GT-R35 edged out the Focus Auto Sales R34 when the R34 had braking issues and went off track coming off the bank into the infield on lap one. Even though Billy Johnson put in a faster lap time in the chase position, he could not make up the difference in the combined time.

We knew that the battle between the GST Motorsports and C-West/BC/Hankook was going to be epic when both drivers Gary Sheehan and Tyler McQuarrie decided to throw out the rulebook and run this battle with no gap from the start. It was an all out drag race at the line and the GST Impreza hp and grip advantage kept the team in front for the entire battle despite the efforts that Tyler put in. The C-West/BC/Hankook S2000 was super fast in the corners and got within a few feet of the GST Impreza but the long straights in the course was just too much of a disadvantage for the team.

check out photo gallery here and stay tuned for the full video feed of this one.
