Redline Time Attack, E Town, August 29th-30th




Who is going to make it out to the event? We're looking forward to our first trip to E Town this year, and hope to make it back next year. This course is going to make the competition VERY interesting, as it is super tight and technical, and will not necessarily reward power. A well setup and well driven car stands to do nicely at this event.

I dont know why Redline would be waisting there time going to E-Towns road course. I was just there in my e92 M3 and the track conditions were terrible to say the least.

When were you there?

I know they have been repaving sections of the track the last two weeks, to repair some of the trouble areas.

We sent Chris (co-founder) out there in February to tour the facility, drive the track at speed, etc.. He felt it was decent enough to host an event, and the potential for the facility to host a HUGE time attack event is certainly a factor. The track is within close proximity of TONS of enthusiasts. We wanted to get our foot in the door, begin hosting these events at E Town now, and as the facilty management improves the road course and expands the road course, come back, year after year, growing the event each year.

I was there on July 27th and the track was in poor condition. I didnt even care to try and go fast around the track but instead started to drift the car around it for some fun.

I know of a couple of our teams that will be conducting private testing on the E Town circuit over the next 2 weeks. I have no doubt they'll let me know if they believe the track is in poor condition.

No FC for this event. The FC kinda died back this year. Hopefully the Focus enthusiasts help to bring it back in 2010...
