#54 / #420 – Racing with a Passion. Project Import/Bobby Lane Racing Hondas

Racing with a Passion -If I had the chance to document drivers and their teams 2-3 weeks prior to an event. The Project Import/ Bobby Lane Racing Shop and Crew would make one helluva a documentary. Hailing from Cali, and on the quest to make a mark at Super Lap BattleUSA COTA. This team worked 247 weeks prior on building, testing, rebuilding, retesting, and just making sure both these cars would make it to the event and run. Make it they did, and ran they did. But just likesome racing stories, even with the best hands or parts, sometimes it's just not in the cards for some of them. While their Pilots are truly Industry Known Race Car Drivers, bad-luck came around and took out their beautiful Unlimited Class Honda S2000 on the first day. Their Honda Accord on the other hand stayed together and managed to keep their Hired gun "Racing Ray Williams" from New Zealand driving through the weekend with a Best 02:27.135. I can only hope they are geared and will be back at it for GTA Road Atlanta in May. -Rommel #weloveit#racecarsalways #motolyric [/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

#3 Monster in Sheep’s Clothing -TX Track NC Mazda Miata

Monster in Sheep's Clothing -Definitely the Biggest Surprise to me at Super Lap Battle USA COTA. And not to down talk on Miata's or the Owners. Lol. But I still remember seeing the roster list prior to the event, and Jenson Little's NC Miata was in the Unlimited Class. At the time, the only knowledge I had was the photo of the car, and without any stickers, or livery I was definitely interested in what this Little Beast had in it. Now keep in mind, I did the research and look around sparingly prior to SLB for more info. Well Jenson of TX Track NC, and the owner are more likely known in a few forums, but trying to find him on Instagram, or Facebook would be no luck. Fast Forward to Race Weekend, and on the first session, I saw this Miata fly down the Main Straight like a Bat out of Hell! I then knew from that Speed Perspective it was a Car to check out and watch. After getting a closer look, and finding a few more details about this beloved machine. Turbo Check, HGT Trans Check.. Hmmmm.. I'm really enthused about this Car. It not only podium'ed in a respective 3rd Place in the Unlimited Class, but this car did a 02:16.311 against cars that looked far more acknowledged in the same field. -Rommel #weloveit #racecarsalways #motolyric [/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

#860 Local Hot Shoe – Voodoo Racing Toyota AE86

The Honda Powered AE86 Coupe. Owned, Built, and Driven by Texas Native Joshua Garcia. A Dream come true, and a car that has to be seen in person to understand the capacity of what this car brings to the table. Granted it was also this cars Debut at Super Lap Battle USA COTA 2019. If you've been following me personally, you already know that I once had a Honda S2000, and have owned 5 different AE86's with One K24 powered Coupe still in my possession that I have been working on for years. (Another Story, another Day) But this is not about me, but my friend Joshua of Voodoo Racing, who I've been following since GTA Road Atlanta 2014! Now after 5 years I finally get to see him again back on track in his latest F22C powered Toyota Corolla AE86. Built with quality, and tasteful mods, from the JSP FabMounts, to the Sparco Seat it has so many good things going for it, that I can only sit behind my lens in awe and appreciate all the hardwork and dedication he's poured into this amazing car. -Rommel #weloveit#racecarsalways #motolyric [/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

#76 Fast Honda – WRD Racing Honda Prelude

Fast Honda -Something you would say when you see a decked out Honda Civic, or Integra. But the other models like the Honda Accord, or Prelude don't come to mind right off the bat. But make no mistake, there are several out there making wind on the track, and when someone mentions to me about a Time Attack Honda Prelude, the first car that comes to mind is Cory Wells of WRD Racing Race Machine. Now weight, aftermarket options, and other factors usually are the challenge. But for as long as I've been watching Corey through my lens. He's surely taken this car further every single time. Here it is in the flesh in it's newest rendition, chasing the clock at the last Super Lap Battle USA COTA 2019. -Rommel #weloveit #racecarsalways #motolyric [/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

Gridlife Track Battle 2019 by Rommel Estrada

What turned out to be a quick visit, ended up becoming more of a catch up on some old friends I haven't seen in awhile, to making a few new ones in our World of Time Attack. This Gridlife event was the first West Coast trim from my knowledge, and I wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy and capture more cars. Super Bowl (yes I know, I do watch other sports, lol) happened to be on the same day, and arriving early to capture some quality content while catching up with the drivers and their cars was straight to the point. It's been a minute since I last drove a car on track, and I still find it very pleasing seeing these people unfold and perform on track. This time it was under a different banner, but nonetheless the same concept. Attacking time in a certain way, getting the best that you can do on a given day, with your current car setup and goals. This is also the first Gridlife event I have attended or captured, and the Track Battle format is something interesting, but before I say more about it, I definitely need more field time to understand and dissect this new style of Time Attack. Hence the traditional format of Time Attack is still and will always be the foundation of the Time Attack Sport, but giving it different perspectives can enhance the Fan experience, and for many others I can understand why. Regardless, I had a great short time, and it was a good 2019 entry for more Time Attack events to follow this year. -Rommel Estrada [/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

Time Attack is where it’s at -Global Time Attack Finals Super Lap Battle 2018

Time Attack Is where it’s at -If you haven’t been or know much about Time Attack, I strongly encourage you to come through at a Global Time Attack event. Unlike other forms of racing, I still find Time Attack the closest thing to grassroots builds that were once in someone’s mind and then executed on a car to race. There is no one sided build here, or marquee, I mean you can sway that way like some. Lol. But if you like Honda’s or Chevys, LS swapped BMW’s and just much more, you’ll notice it all here. What I love most about this sport is the ingenuity of what goes on with the cars. Sure there is the common name branding and components you’ll find on most other race cars especially from other forms of Motorsports. […]
