Countdown to
Global Time Attack Super Lap Battle
Back in
April, we showed you a picture of 2Buck with no
engine. "S2BuckChuck" is what we named this car
because the sum of it parts are used and donated by members
of the S2KI.com community, our racing friends and our valued
customers. Last year at Super Lap Battle, we surprised
ourselves when Graham Downey and 2Buck put down a
respectable lap time of 1:48.118 at Buttonwillow Raceway
Configuration Clockwise 13. Well we're back and we're looking to
beat the fastest Honda S2000 record of 1:46.893 set by driver, Tyler
McQuarrie in the C-West/BC S2000 in 2008. We asked for you to
send comments and suggestions for rebuild and surprisingly we
received more than we anticipated. So this means some of you are
actually reading this! OK, people want to know, what are we bringing
to the gun fight this year? We thought we tell you all before the
event rather than after, so here are our setup changes for 2015!

Irene Your Too Damn Clean!
# IreneV1? # IreneV2? # IreneWe'veLostCount!

Year 2015
has not been hiccup free for Irene. With a new stroker 2.5L,
driver Tom Tang was able to beat his personal best at Thunderhill
Raceway and by taking advantage of his AiM Sports MXL2 data, driver
Graham Downey was able to set a benchmark lap times at 1:53's
for Tom to work at. By the end of the day Tom and shaved over another
second off his lap time. With as much power and as much fun the 2.5L
was, it didn't last long as we sustained rod failure and sent the #1
piston flying out of the block.

With 3.5
weeks left before Global Time Attack's Super Lap Battle, Tom Tang and
his team devised the most feasible plan to get him back on track and
on time. Stock engine + Boost! Big thanks to CT Engineering for
coming through for us on a compressor and brackets. We fabbed up our
own piping and air to air intercooler, tuned Irene back up on the
dyno all with one week to spare! Not only will tomorrow be Tom's
first shakedown since the upgrade, it will also be his first time
racing Super Lap Battle in a supercharged form! With our assistance,
we're confident Tom Tang will do well and we'll make sure Irene get's
dirty while we're at it!
