HKS ETC and EDA Drag Adapter Instructions

I had these translated years ago. Not all of the HKS EDA Drag Instructions are here, but there is enough to get the gist of how it works. The ATTESA system in the Nissan Skyline GT-R is not very well understood.  I have a lot of notes and information on the system that I will try and get up on this blog over time.

World Challenge 2012 Long Beach Grand Prix : Standing Start

The Volvo of Randy Pobst in the #1 spot, with the Cadillacs of Andy Pilgrim, and Johnny O'Connell in 2nd and 3rd spot during the standing start of the World Challenge 2012 race at Long Beach. This here, is one of the reasons I love World Challenge racing. Recognizable cars, great racing, and standing starts.

Long Beach Grand Prix 2012 - Saturday and Sunday

Long Beach Grand Prix put on its 38th annual event last weekend, April 14th and 15th. Long Beach is my adopted home, as I have spent about 10 years living there. In 2006, with the Automotiveforums.com R34 GT-R, it was the first race that we finished in World Challenge.  In 2010 with the Scion, Robert won the TC class, the youngest World Challenge winner, and the first of five for him that year.

Friday was wet some pretty intense rain, thunder and lightning. Saturday morning early, early was World Challenge practice, followed later in the day with Indy lights, Indy car, and the ALMS race in the afternoon.  Sunday early was the World Challenge qualifying, followed by the Indycar race, and the World Challenge race as the end cap to the weekend.

Long Beach Grand Prix 2012 was a little unusual on Friday due to a lot of rain, and even some thunder and lightning. This put a damper on some of the festivities. Saturday and Sunday to come, along with videos.
