Berk Technology is competing this weekend at Buttonwillow

J Tyler · 03-26-2009, 11:13 AM

Hi all,

Just wanted to let everyone know that Berk Technology will be competing in the Redline Time Attack series this weekend at Buttonwillow Raceway in CA. They've been crunching numbers on the suspension geometry & spring rates, as well as developing their exhaust systems. So we have some new changes to the car since the last time we were at Buttonwillow, and we hope to be even faster this time out!

If anyone is in SoCal and wants to see some great on-track action, we'd love to see you out there this weekend! We'll be there testing on Saturday and competing in the Time Attack on Sunday. There will be numerous other awesome sports & race cars to check out too; these events are always lots of fun. You'll see everything from HPDE drivers in their daily drivers to Pro drivers in 600hp monsters.

Hope to see some of you out there! Stay tuned for Berk's usual post-event writeup and video.

Make us proud

How did you all do?

rcracer_tx · 03-30-2009, 05:12 PM

Looked it up, and they placed 6th in a class of over 20 people...

Congrats, now get to work

LOL. One of those S2000's was ours.

It was a great weekend! A 6th place finish in the 1er with Jeff's behind the wheel. The previous day Jeff was responsible for setting up the BERK S2000 for Charles to drive and his setup brought home 3rd place for that car.

The BMW again ran flawlessly all weekend with no hiccups or mechanical problems. For a pig heavy 3400lb street car we beat out 23 other much more highly prepped "race cars" that compete in the street class.

A full writeup to follow!
