This weekend, it was our own Mark Dowey's first H2 Honda Challenge race. It was also the first time we revealed our new EG 2.0. Using the input and feedback from the Redstone Motorsport drivers: Liam, Graham and Mark, we built a new and improved EG. This couldn't have been possible with the help of a few key players: Tony @ TC Design, Aki @ BlackTrax and Mark, Graham, Liam, Brent and much more. We'll be posting up pictures soon. In the meantime check out Mark's in car on Sunday piloting the Redstone EG 1.0, Liam Downey's H2 car. Sunday podium finishers was Mike Lock, Graham Downey and Mark Downey 1-2-3.

Matt Field's Blacktrax Sponsored Nissan 240sx at Formula Drift LB
Recently went to Formula Drift Round One situated on the streets of Long Beach. While walking around and smelling the tire smoke, I stumbled upon the car show section hosted by Fatlace, there it was Matt Field's car parked at the AutoFashion/Fatlace booth. You might have seen this car before at the Hella Flush III event as he was parked out infront. Well turns out, Matt's going to be running in the Formula D season this year along with his grassroots events. If you see him at the upcoming Formula Drift events, tell him what's up !

Jei's Kraftwerks Powered S2000 @ S2K Challenge, Buttonwillow CW13
The inspiration behind building this S2000 was from Sport Compact Car Magazine's Ultimate Street Car Challenge. We participated in the challenge in 2007 with Aki's LS1 powered 300ZX. The goal was to build a full interior street car that could do a respectable lap time at any local track. Besides the wing and splitter, the car drives on the street as you see it here.
This was our very first race event in the S2000. The car was having oversteering issues all day. The wind and dust didn't help the track either. We spent all day changing rear tire pressures, shock settings, aero and toe but were still limited on traction. Best official lap time was 2:00.8sec taking 1st in Unlimited and 3rd best lap time overall for the day. Check out the in-car footage.

Rob's S2000
Rob Burch came up from Bakersfield last night to iron out some cooling issues and to corner balance and dynotune his F20C powered S2000. This car is setup for Time Attack and S2K Challenge. We were very impressed with the results. The stock F20C with intake and exhaust netted 221hp 152tq which was 10+ more than his baselines, tuned with an Apex-i AFCII. The VAFC is of of the best dollar per horsepower upgrades for the S2000. Check him out, he'll be at Buttonwillow this weekend for S2K Challenge. Good luck Rob!
