Little update guys...
Today was the first two events...Wet Skid Pad & AutoX.
The wet skid was very slippery due to the new pavement, we were able to take 20th place. That may sound bad, but all of the fast cars did very poorly this year. I'm pretty sure a Chevy HHR was in the top 5 LOL
The AutoX was a little bit more our style. We set FTD (fast time of the day) and won the event.
I will let the guys get in here later with an update on the car but I wanted to fill you guys in.

Well I'm sorry for the delay in status updates, I have been doing track support for a couple other customers this weekend and didn't have any internet access. Now I am actually at CMP with the team right now getting to watch the car run.
Since the wet skid we have taken first place in every event so far. At Summit Point the TIC Subaru was very close to us during the first session. If I remember correctly I think only 2 tenths of a second slower. The second session they had engine troubles though, and we have not seen them yet at CMP.
However other than that one event, the Forged performance GT-R driven by Catesby Jones has been pulling up second most of the sessions. He hasn't gotten any closer than 5 seconds behind us as of yet, but they are working on the car to try to dial it in.
After CMP we drive to the BMW test track for one session then the team packs up for the LONG drive to Daytona International Speedway.
I will be doing a better job of keeping you updated from hear on out. I also have some HD in car video that I will get up later tonight.
Here are some pictures from the last two events.

TopSpeed Motorsports GTR takes P1 in morning session at Daytona running a conservative pumpgas map of 18psi we turned a 1:55.9 lap time.
Forged/Catesby GTR suffered another mechanical issue on the last lap of the first session. But I don't think it will hurt them as bad as last time.
Stay tuned... were still streaming live and will be for the entire day today.
Just to put it in perspective, Grand-AM race pace is 1:52-53s...
Second session will be live around 12:30...stay tuned guys...and thanks for the support
DAYTONA LIVE FEED ALL DAY!!!

Well today is another day...The team is at Circuit Grand Bayou Road Course in New Orleans, LA today getting ready for more racing. Yesterday was the longest day of the event....Daytona International until mid day, then to Gainesville Dragway into the evening and then a 500+ mile drive to New Orleans!!
The last I heard it was 4am and they still weren't to the hotel yet.
Yesterday was very successful...we won both events at Daytona and then set a new OneLap record at the drag strip. Right now we are sitting in first place overall with the Porsche PDK in second, and the GT-R of Catesby Jones in 3rd.
Below is a quote from Leh posted lastnight and a few pictures from Daytona.
Don't forget we will be live later this morning @ topspeedtuned/onelap
~Cicio
*Quoted from Leh:
Hey guys this is Leh... We JUST hit the road and have a 8 hour drive ahead of us.... its going to be a loooooooooooong night.... we have some 5 hour energy's waiting for us in the glovebox for later...
We won both road race events at Daytona then went to the drags and won that too!!!.. there is also a bracket race thing but we opted to just break out on our 2nd run... so we could hit the road... some people are still there racing!.. they will have a later night then us....
At Daytona we tested a drag strip map during some parade laps.... which was a pretty good bit higher boost then what we have been running on the road courses so far.. We ran that map for the drag strip and it started to break up... Onelap is tough because you only get one shot at the events... the leaded fuel we have been running is getting to the plugs.... So we may change them soon...... i lifted out of it and ran a 10.6 at 124.... the car was def on its way to a low 10 pass..!... We ran the road course map we have been running the entire event for the bracket race and did a 10.8 at 132 with a 1.8 60'.... Pretty strong road course map!! ha!.. car is very impressive.... After onelap we will take it to the strip with some fresh plugs and run a good # for you guys.. im pretty interested...
i will try to get some pics up from daytona.. we also have incar video from daytona in HD..
Oh yea.. and a 10.6 is a new Onelap Record..!

That driver can MOVE in that car...
When second place is 11secs behind (even with bumping up their power...), you know things are out of control.
