Crawford Subaru Takes Home Time Attack Victory

November 8, 2006

Buttonwillow, CA - Crawford Performance took home their first Time Attack Championship (Limited AWD) at the Super Street and Eurotuner Time Attack Finals at Buttonwillow Raceway Park.

The day was filled with stiff competition from many well respected tuners and cars from all over the world, including the Garrett-powered Crawford Widebody Subaru STi. The Crawford Subaru ended up turning a 1:55.317 in the Limited AWD class which was certainly quick enough to gain much respect from the field of 70 competitors. It was also quick enough to earn 1st place, the "Limited AWD Time Attack Champion" trophy, to clock the 2nd fastest "overall time" amongst all the other "Limited" competitors, and to place 11th overall in the entire event.

"To win a time attack challenge, the drivetrain and tuning must be as well developed as the suspension. Everything must hold hands. But it doesn't mean anything without the support of a good team and without good competition. We are always happy to see more and more Subaru's competing in events like these. Not only does it bring a smile to our faces to see that other people have as much passion as we do but it pushes us to build better products and faster Subaru's." - Chris Escamilla, Crawford Performance V.P.

More on Time Attack:

A Time Attack Series is circuit racing based on a calendar of events whereby competitors drive hard against the clock to set the quickest lap time around a circuit. Not only do they have the task of doing this but they will be one of many cars and drivers who must race in a series of qualifying rounds around the country. The times will be judged and only the fastest will be specifically invited to fight it out alongside the industries finest at Time Attack Finals.
