			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Source Interlink Media held its Super Lap Battle finals at Buttonwillow Raceway Park’s Race 13 clockwise configuration today. All of the ink and paper outlets should have the complete story in a few months but if you can’t wait here are the dirty deets as reported by our boys at <a href="http://everythingtimeattack.com/">Everything Time Attack</a>. It looks like David Empringham took/ate/slathered with hot sauce the whole enchilada in the Sierra Sierra Evo VIII with a 1:45.061. This is not too close to the 1:43.523 overall record held by Nobuteru Taniguchi in the HKS CT230R Evo VIII but an impressive time nonetheless for a car that is very much still in development.</p>
<p>The Sierra Sierra Evo is a bit of an enigma in the time attack world, like someone who eats their waffles with syrup and no butter (now THAT’S messed up). This car is built to FIA GT3 specs in a field of cobbled together tuner cars. On another note, this 8 will be retired after this season, as Sierra Sierra is already hard at work on an Evo X with a Cosworth built 4B11. Hit the jump to see some more good times from Buttonwillow.</p>

<p>Second fastest time of the day was Billy Johnson in the FX Motorsports Development Unlimited FR NSX just a couple tenths from the overall with a 1:45.247. I’m sure this team struggled as Yokohama, their tire sponsor, does not make a DOT tire with a wide enough cross section to allow this car to lay down its full fury. I believe the car ran on the A048 Advans as opposed to the Yok slicks they are allowed to run in the Redline Time Attacks. Next year we’ll also see an all-new NSX with a full race build from FX.</p>

<p>Our bestest Vaka-Mon Eiji “Tarzan” Yamada was third overall with a 1:45.552 in the Crawford Performance Subaru STI. This is a timeless Tarzan classic as the time was no doubt achieved with some balls out driving skill as this car needs more power and tire, less weight and better aero.</p>

<p>Paul Gerrard brought the AMS Performance Evo X home in fourth overall with a 1:46.829. From what we understand the car caught fire and the AMS crew will have to struggle to scrub the char from this car in time for this weekend’s <a href="http://redlinetimeattack.com/">Redline Time Attack</a>. Now’s the time to exploit that NOS energy drink sponsorship, boys.</p>

<p>Other times of note include Kip Olson with a 1:48.072 in his NSX as well as the big Ragu, Christian Rado in his fwing’d tC with a 1:49.703, which was no doubt the fastest FF time of the day and also an overall class record finally toppling the long-standing time of the GM Cobalt. And Brian Lock drove his 800hp GoTo Racing R35 GT-R to a 1:50.022. Special thanks to the bank, er Source Interlink Management for presenting this time attack. Somebody get these guys a cookie.</p>
