Ok, don't get me wrong both Ohio and New Jersey are legit places to hold a major event like EVO vs. WRX/STi especially when they are looked at regionally, but why is California ignored as a potential site. It really makes no sense to me especially since the largest concentration of EVOs by a good margin is in the West, I literally see two to three EVOs a day and that is not counting the three that are from my neighborhood.
California Speedway holds street legal drags from time to time and EVOs are the most prolific imports (other than Hondas) there every single time. One street legal drag event for example (nothing special just a regular test and tune), and there were approx. 10-15 EVOs racing and the EVOs even outnumbered LS1 Camaros and SRT-4s. Imagine how many EVOs would show up to a major sponsored event and advertised event in Southern California. Also most of the media is already here in California- D-Sport Magazine is in California, Sport Compact Car is in California, Super Street is in California, Import Tuner is in California, Turbo magazine is in California and the list goes on and on.
This just doesn't make any sense, the area with the largest concentration of EVOs, one of the largest concentration of people in the WORLD, and the area with the largest concentration of media and sponsors is ignored? Southern California is set to open a brand new drag racing facility called Mopar Drag City, I would hope that possibly one day the EVO vs. WRX/STi event could be held there or at California Speedway? This event could pull in EVOs not only from California, but from AZ, OR, WA, TX, NV, and CO, regionally there is no place that comes close to matching the Concentration of EVOs as here.
I'm not saying that events like this should not be held in Ohio and New Jersey, what I am saying is that California should not be ignored. From a business stand point it really is dumb, and major east coast tuners would be wise to try to promote their company in a region where they could possibly make a lot more money, are you content with Vishnu's monopoly in the West? Al and Jeff, your missing out on a golden opportunity in California, for there is no place in the country where the car is king like it is California. No other place could promote the EVO like California, and in the long run this would help all in the EVO community, even help Mitsubishi out with sales.
Al, Dave, and Jeff you guys are major tuners in the EVO community, and an event like this promoted by you guys in the West would be huge, I do not understand why you guys wouldn't try harder to spread your company to an area where you could possibly make the most money?
Please do not write me off, I do not own an EVO now but I promise you this I will one day be one of your customers, or atleast I would like too, but it only seems like my options are Vishnu (or maybe RNR). There are hundreds and hundreds of other future EVO owners like me, a guy in my neigborhood just bought a brand new White EVO (I'm so jealous), and I asked him if he planned to mod, he said yes Vishnu Staged Upgrade, but he said the price was kind of high. I asked him what about Dynoflash and he said, "Who?"

I'm coming, took leave for this. I may not be the fastest but to line up against my buddy with his FP Green turbod STI and beat him would be sweet!. Especially since he out ranks me (military representing ) and we work together, can you say office bragging rights for a whole year .

We have a decent group going, but don't know if we will be leaving the night before or early that morning. I have to check on what nights my neighbor booked the rooms for. A few evos, galant vr-4 and possibly a talon or two
