Picture Time
Adam, just when you thought that you couldn't get a picture of your Evo going any slower:
Adam's car getting its brakes bled. CMP is hard on brakes, I wonder if I had told people to buy stock in brake fluid companies I would have been busted for insider trading...
The AMS Paddock.
Justin working on Dave's (Stop&TurnFreak) Evo. Justin worked non stop all weekend, turning wrenches on at least five different Evos.
AMS's Martin explains his magic with a computer and an Evo.
Mark D. and Justin (right) going over tire pressures and suspension settings.
(More coming)

Picture time #2
A couple of Evos in the paddock..
A few more...
and Adam.. I will let you off the hook, we did get a couple of you on track..
Carolina Motorsports Park is located in the "sandhills" region of South Carolina. There are not many hills, but there is plenty of sand. I am not off track here, just stirring up the sand at the edge of the track.

Picture Time #4
Had it been a little darker, we would have probably seen some glowing rotors from Cory in the #14 GSC Street Class entry, he was really pushing the braking zone in turn one.
Cliff made great gains during the weekend learning both car and track to finish second in Street class driving the #133 Pure Tuning Car.
THe DTM motorsports with Michael Ko at the wheel.
Kyle and his Driven Concepts #42.

The Robi Spec Street class Evo.
Mark Daddio on his way to winning Street Class in one of the AMS cars.
That's me in the suit, talking to Martin and Mark from AMS about the cars behavior. We would make some changes, and it would pay off.
My final run was four tenths faster than my first competition run, and even faster than I had run in the better, cooler conditions in the morning warm up. (told you the debriefing and changes paid off)
The AMS team. Top row, left to right: Martin, Eric G, Justin, CJ. Bottom row, left to right: Jon K, Mark P, Mark D, and Marty.
(K, that's all)

Congrats Jon/AMS , keep it uppp.
Robi you ran rpf1's on your street class car, have your feelings changed or did you just feel that the street class car wasnt going to generate enough grip to be an issue?

I will pass the compliment to my GF for the pictures actually, I handed her the camera and about 3g worth of memory cards, she did the rest. (I stayed busy in the car)
One thing about Robi (he is probably still on the road) He was going after the Nitto $.. $1000 to win. he would have had Hoosiers on the Unlimited car, but there was an issue with spacers on the car and not having the tool he needed to get them off. He borrowed some Nittos for the Unlimited car, and took the $ with it, but not sure he had any other tires for the Street class car.
