The COBB Tuning Motorsports team once raced to the top of the podium at Round 8 of the Redline Time Attack. Held at the Spring Mountain Motorsports Park, outside Las Vegas, NV, the COBB Tuning GT-R driven by Brian lock quickly shot to the top of the leader board in the AWD Modified Class and held the top spot all weekend. Despite temperatures that crested the 110 degree mark, the GT-R performed flawlessly not only posting another overall Modified Class win, but setting a new track record for a Modified Class car.

Cameron Benner, driver of the COBB Tuning STI, found himself locked in a three way duel in the AWD Street Class. Local boy, Thomas Smith, in the Zenkai Motorsports GR-Chassis STI proved to be very fast around his home track. Benner also faced off once again with Steve Ruiz in the AEM/Stoptech EVO X. Despite being plagued with mechanical issues, Ruiz continues to be very quick and threatened to take the lead all weekend, if his car could just complete a lap. Despite pushing his car to the absolute limit, Cameron could only muster 2^nd place behind Smith who clearly had the home court advantage. Ruiz brought up the rear in third just a few tenths off of Cameron and his STI.

Once again the Super Session gave the crowd a taste of real wheel to wheel action and a chance to get a side by side comparison of the fastest cars of the weekend. Brian Lock and the GT-R lead the race from start to finish with the Takata Time Attack/LIC car nipping at his heels. Cameron and his STI had a good fight mid pack and battled for 4^th place where he finished also taking the top Street Class spot for the Super Session.

Both AccessPORT-tuned cars ran throughout the weekend without as much as a hiccup despite the oppressive heat. The only issue was when early Saturday morning a stripped wheel stud sidelined the STI for a single practice session.

The COBB Tuning STI and GT-R are leading the points in the Street and Modified classes both in class and overall! The team will be looking to cement this lead with only 2 races remaining in the season. In the Modified class the championship is still very much up for grabs. In the Street Class, Cameron Benner has dominated the season and needs only to finish the next two events to take the championship.

The COBB Tuning Motorsports Team will be headed back to the track in October at Infineon Raceway for Round 9 and a chance to clinch the points lead heading into the season finale.
