THE LAST GREAT RACE
With no other race like this
stateside we had to take the
initiative to setup a race that took
the production cars that we love
to drive taken to limits. Nowadays
SLB has grown so popular
that it is held on four different
tracks including Willow Springs
International Raceway, Auto Club
Speedway, Phoenix International Raceway, and ending each
season with the finals at Buttonwillow Raceway. Support
and competitors come from all the different Source Interlink
Media magazines, Super Street, Import Tuner, Modified and
Eurotuner to name a few.
SLB is an event created to showcase tuners but at the
same time get readers involved in road racing. This event is
not just about the car but about the driver as well but one
thing to keep in mind is that the teams that compete in our
event have many years of road racing experience. That is
why if you’re just starting out and want to get involved in
road racing you will need to get some seat time before you’re
ready to compete at one of our events. Our partnership with
NASA puts you into the HPDE program and allows you to
gain the practice and skills to eventually compete in SLB.
Super Lap Battle is open to the public and although we don’t
charge for spectating some of the hosting tracks may charge
for admission and/or parking. This is the only race that puts
top US teams, Japanese teams and even small independent
racers all up against each other. Full on race teams from
ALMS, World Challenge, Grand-Am have a series to compete
in. Super Lap Battle was created for the tuners of our industry
and will always be here for them to do competitive road
racing and a fraction of the budget.
