This past Thursday, Global Time Attack, in conjunction with Super Street, held the Super Lap Battle event at Buttonwillow Raceway Park.  SLB is the last event of the GTA series and as usual, the most looked forward to of the season.  Teams from all over North American arrived with hopes of breaking records and clinching titles.  This was the first time I’ve attended SLB in quite some time, and it was interesting to compare it to the events I’ve been going to both here and in Japan.  SLB is a two day event, and it’s much more expensive than your run-of-the-mill track event, so you know that those competing are putting everything they have to be on top; not to mention the cost of those traveling across country.  It all makes for a very vibrant feeling around the pits and on track.
