HP Autowerks takes top spot in Las Vegas Redline Time Attack
April 29, 2010
Contact: HP Autowerks 805-892-2000 sales@hpautowerks.com http://www.hpashop.com HP Autowerks takes top spot in Las Vegas Redline Time Attack Las Vegas, NV, April 25, 2010 HP Autowerks entered their third Redline Time Attack with a vengeance. After a disappointing outing at the first RTA event of 2010 at Buttonwillow, HPA got to work improving every aspect of their BMW 335i Sedan in preparation for Las Vegas Motor Speedway. After many upgrades which included suspension, cooling, and aerodynamics, the car was ready to compete. HPA driver Jeff Tyler was at a disadvantage having never driven the course, but after many hours of preparation, Jeff was ready to tackle the challenge. HPA came out posting consistently low times in qualifying, which landed them the #1 grid spot. With a best time of 1:48:285, HPA secured the first place spot in the Street RWD class, and third overall in Street. HPA was only .794 shy of the overall Street winner. HP Autowerks looks forward to Autoclub Speedway to defend their podium finish.

There it is: P-1! After seeing your 335i in person, I'm not surprised at the result considering how well thought out the modifications are.
Congrats Harold, and great driving Jeff. Good eye on the performance radiator, MteK - agreed on the drool factor. |

Here is a video I put together. I am still 'refining' my video-editing skills, so the quality is not so great... http://vimeo.com/11338902 Overall a fairly medium/low-speed track, although I never used 2nd gear. At the end of the back straight we hit about 130mph going into the fast right -- a very fun section of track! Also a fairly technical track, especially the final corners before the front straight -- these were lots of fun when you got them right. |

Eh, HP Autowerks is ight. Just playing. I was pumped to hear the news the other day Harold! On a different note, I love the GIAC flash, it is ridiculous.
Anyone need anything, contact Harold, he is bomb. He is also single. ha.

The Camaro is a drift car, and Redline has a class specifically for Drift cars. I'm not sure what tires it was on, but it ran a 1:46.7. It sounds absolutely wicked. And it's driven by the very-capable Conrad Grunewald. |

We are in the final stages of fitting to automatic 335i's. Once that is done the manual transmission version will be release first via a group buy then the auto version. The more people we can get on the group buy the better the price. We are potentially looking 1-20 as the first price level, then 20+ for a discounted price.
