[smiley9k]

July 20, 2008 is going to be Live Sockets Battle Series, Redline Time Attack! Round 4, and J's Gathering Car Show at California Speedway (Auto Club Speedway).

If you guys have heard about it or not, Live Sockets Entertainment has teamed up with Redline Time Attack! to do a circuit battle series pitting teams in head-to-head battle. So for those time attacking, watching, or at car show, keep an eye out for these cars as they battle

As you all know, Cali Speedway's Roval track configuaration is not only about downforce, it's also about power. Using the oval part of the track and with a few long straights calls for high speeds.

Just wanted to post up some images from the Live Sockets Battle Series this past weekend. Cobb Tuning Skyline GT-R35 edged out the Focus Auto Sales R34 when the R34 had braking issues and went off track coming off the bank into the infield on lap one. Even though Billy Johnson put in a faster lap time in the chase position, he could not make up the difference in the combined time.

We knew that the battle between the GST Motorsports and C-West/BC/Hankook was going to be epic when both drivers Gary Sheehan and Tyler McQuarrie decided to throw out the rulebook and run this battle with no gap from the start. It was an all out drag race at the line and the GST Impreza hp and grip advantage kept the team in front for the entire battle despite the efforts that Tyler put in. The C-West/BC/Hankook S2000 was super fast in the corners and got within a few feet of the GST Impreza but the long straights in the course was just too much of a disadvantage for the team.

check out photo gallery here and stay tuned for the full video feed of this one.

hang in there guys the battle series video will be done this week. In the meantime check out these segments that we shot of the Gravel Crew R4 Rally X event awhile back. They tested running a European style rally X on the CORR track out in Elsinore complete with whoops and jumps. Pretty wild. This is what the X Games should aspire to be.
