<a href="/eventcoverage/130_0908_super_lap_battle_qualifier/index.html">View our exclusive photos and coverage of the Super Lap Battle first qualifier held in Phoenix Arizona at the Firebird Raceway.</a><p>Phoenix is known best for one thing: being hot all the freaking time. We've been coming out here for the past few years for our Super Lap Battle qualifying rounds and every time it's been at least 100-plus degrees. So go figure this year it decides to rain like it's the end of the world. The beauty of rain though is that it can be the great equalizer to separate the men from the boys. Teams had to adjust their game plan to deal with the slick track; all of a sudden guys who make 600hp and run R-comps find themselves at a disadvantage. Lucky for us, there was a few breaks in the rain for guys to get in some clean laps. After the last bit of rain dripped from my umbrella we were able to witness Tarzan Yamada pilot the Crawford Performance '08 Subaru STI to a blazing fast time of 1:02.11. What's even more impressive was the fact that due to the rain the Crawford team had not run the STI for any of the practice sessions; Tarzan was only able to take a few laps in a rental car to get a feel for the track. Coming up a close second for Unlimited AWD was GST in their GC8 Impreza with a 1:02.339. In the Unlimited FF class we had the local hero (and NASA AZ regional director) Tage Evanson in his Hasport-sponsored EG hatch bust out a 1:05.451 which edged out the Unlimited FR winner, Science of Speed's NSX driven by Brady Dohrman, which posted a time of 1:05.958.</p>
