Round 1 took place on Saturday in the clockwise direction with Round 2 following on Sunday in the counterclockwise direction. We had 35 drivers enter competition over the weekend with a surprising slump in Street class, a stacked Modified class, and a rise in entries in Unlimited class. The weekend results have been updated and it’s nothing short of exciting…we have 1st place ties in all class standings! The season championship race is on and it’s up for grabs to anyone who shows!

LATE POST! Our 2025 competition season ended with Round 9 at Buttonwillow Raceway Park at the Classic track in the 13CW configuration. All in we saw 32 competitors from across California give it their best. All eyes were on the Street Modified class championship battle between Markus Lendermann and Sean Conboy and it did not disappoint.
In our Street class Jiachen Yan finished 1st on the podium in his FL5 Civic Type R turning a 2:02.419 lap time on 240TW tires. Jia Ruan and Steven Ngo followed, taking the 2nd and 3rd place podium finishes respectively. Our Street class champion Jamie Moore bumped up into street modified for this round on wider tires and LSD upgrade in his NSX.
Round 8 at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway featured our second HTAC versus Nissan Challenge battle and was hosted by our series sponsor OS Giken. Our fellow drivers at NC were hungry for a win and they succeeded at our expense ☠️. Consider yourselves redeemed for now, we’ll get you next time!
The CW configuration at CVR completed our tour of this track for the year and it was as expected: fun, fast, and exciting! We also had an unexpected guest: Honda Racing Corporation hailing from Santa Clarita to further test, develop, and compete in their Integra Type S placing 2nd in the Race Modified class.
In Street class David Sheetz placed 1st with a 2:04.761 lap time, with Chris Moua and Patrick Funnamark taking 2nd and 3rd place respectively. The results locked in the 2025 Street class championship for Jamie Moore!
The Street Modified class saw our veteran driver Sean Conboy take 1st place with a sub2 lap time of 1:59.644. Isabella Gonzalez took her first podium this year edging out Paul Choa for 2nd place with a 2:02.464 lap time, and Paul trailed behind Isabella by 3 tenths for 3rd place finish.
In the Race Modified class Joey Cadavid placed 1st clenching the 2025 class championship, Ben Schmitt placed 2nd in the HRC Integra Type S with a lap time of 1:59.616, and in 3rd place we have the return of the 2023 Street Modified champion Danny Castro turning a 2:00.162 lap time.
The Unlimited class saw a new group of competitors enter the ring, surprisingly co-driving the same single vehicle in all 3 podium positions. In 1st place we have Ger Xiong setting a new class record with a lap time of 1:52.134, in 2nd place Jean Choi turned a 1:56.532 lap time, and rounding out the podium in her first competition event we have Crystal Cadavid.
All in we saw 3 women on the podium this round and we expect to see more in the future: congratulations ladies!
For now, we say, “See you later Chuckwalla, we’ll be back in March for a double header weekend!”
Stay tuned for the recap of our final round at Buttonwillow’s classic track. The showdown for the Street Modified class championship was spicy!
