Super Lap Battles Finals 2011 - FXMD NSX & Tyler McQuarrie Break Overall Time Attack Record
By Laura Heng
For many of the top time attack teams the wait for November's Super Lap Battle is a lot like waiting for Christmas to arrive. Early in the year the teams set their sights on a target lap time to beat and have all year long to develop and fine tune their race cars to hit those targets. Super Lap Battle (SLB) is an invite only event and by tradition the event is held the first Wed after SEMA in November. November also happens to feature weather that is just about perfect for record breaking. This year was no exception and we saw more than a few high profile time attack records fall.

Tested: Fluke Thermal Imager
By Khiem Dinh
Heat, it's a quantity we have to deal with in motorsports yet we often don't have a clear picture of it. Thermal management is critical to performance and reliability of any race vehicle; everything from brake fluid temperatures, to rear differential temperatures, to making sure hot parts in the engine bay don’t melt other components. One tool that can be used in product development and race track setup is a thermal imager. I had access to a Fluke Ti32 thermal imager and put it to use.
Dai Does it Again! Dai Yoshihara and Mike Bonanni Win MPTCC TU and TO Championships at North American Festival of Speed
Fresh off his 2011 Formula Drift Championship, Dai Yoshihara proved that he can drive grip as well as he can drift by clinching the MotoIQ Pacific Tuner Car Championship TU class at the first inaugural North American Festival of Speed at Las Vegas Motor Speedway last weekend. Dai drove Team MotoIQ’s iconic Dog Car Nissan Sentra SE to one victory in the weekend double header after not finishing his first race due to a collision with the Acura TSX of APD Racing’s Brian Smith. The win gave Dai enough points to put a lock on the TU championship.
