The results!

Monday Finish Line - March 31, 2008: Redline: Time Attack! Buttonwillow, NDRA Atlanta, Grand-Am Homestead

Redline: Time Attack!
Season Opener, March 29-30
Buttonwillow Raceway Park, Buttonwillow, California

Piloting a vehicle that was in mothballs just a few short weeks ago, drift superstar Tyler McQuarrie flexed his grip skills and took Overall Champion honors at the opening round of the Redline: Time Attack! this weekend at Buttonwillow Raceway Park just outside of Bakersfield, Calif.

On the 3-mile #13 race configuration of the circuit, McQuarrie laid down a blistering 1:48.829 hot lap with the C-West/Brian Crower/Design Craft Fab Honda S2000 in the Unlimited RWD category.

Dozens of challengers made the time trials, and by the event's second and final day a handful of Unlimited Class drivers had broken into sub-two minute territory. The next closest to McQuarrie's impressive feat was the Unlimited AWD Subaru Impreza of Brian Lock, which recorded a 1:49.867.

All-wheel driver JC Meynet took home gold in Street with a 1:57.241, and was 0.2 seconds short of repeating the same in Modified, but had to settle for second behind the 1:56.423 of Dieter Heinz's EVO.

Round 2 of the Redline: Time Attack! is set for April 18-20 at Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Illinois.
