I wouldn't get your hopes up. I'd love to see GRM show up at one of the events I run. If they do, I've got the stickers, which increases my chances

They've sponsored Winged Warrior for the past couple years, but I think only in the form of some giveaway material, I don't think they've ever actually showed up.

Every once in awhile I'll see a MI autocrosser in there. In June's issue, you can see Evolutionary's Evo at the top of the Tire Rack ad (red Showcase Evo.)

Thread title updated, figured I could just use this thread to post random autoX updates as my season progresses.

SVR SCCA events #1 and #2 best runs (well, almost best runs, battery died on me at some point) Also, in the end, that Evo didn't break 1/2 gear, it shattered the diff.

SVR SCCA #3 best run

Next two events are next week. I bought myself a Schroth 4 point harness, should do a better job of keeping me planted than my CG Lock does.

Thus far I'm 1st place in my region for ST class, but we'll see how long that lasts. I'm pretty quick, but not as fast as the fully-prepped Neon ACRs and Civic hatches, and it's still early in the season. None of the fully prepped cars are members in my region, but they do occassionally come visit from the Detroit region.

When you see Evolutionary, ask him how his first HPDE went at Mid-Ohio.

Good luck Otter! Way to represent the old school RA's!

Good to see some of the "OG" RA owners still rolling around, unfortunately my car will be gone by the end of this week or next...

Haven't updated this for awhile. For the season, I'm 1st in my region for the ST class, but only a couple first place finishes. Just haven't been able to get close to the prepped Neons, they've got quite the weight advantage on me.

This past weekend I tried rallycross for the first time and had a blast. Ran the event on my winter wheels/snow tires. Rallycross is scored by your total overall time for the day, rather than just your fastest. By the end of the day, my times were up among the fastest, but I didn't place well overall. Never raced on dirt before, so it took me awhile to learn how the car handled and how to control it and get the most speed out of it, thus my times earlier in the day were pretty slow.
