Nice driving! However with that sound quality it sounds more like it's dragging the exhaust rather then squealing the tires lol.

 

very nice! congratulations.

on a different note: surprising to see someone go so fast without a fire suit, Hans,or even padding on your cage...

 

Congrats!

 

What weight is this Evo running at? Ditto about the safety setup inside. Surprised it got through tech without proper padding.

 

the cage is padded on the driver side. Its hard to see from the angle of the camera.

We never weight the evo but i assume its probably around stock RS weight.

 

Congratulations on the win for Limited Class! Your evo was set up nicely.

For anyone in the Socal area, if of you are planning to attend the LA Auto show during the media days on this Weds. and Thurs. stop by the Mitsubishi booth. WORKS prepared a Lancer for MMNA and would love to meet up w/ fellow enthusiasts.

 

Damn that guy can drive!!!

 

that car is so effin hot

 

Was this the lap he set the 1:53.9? It appears you guys ran at around a high 1:53 on the lap you provided. If it is, i have a few questions.

Is that how he typically runs 13 CW? I ask because there are a few things that have me a bit confused about that lap based on his line, and selection of gears. This is simply my perspective, and i hope you dont misunderstand me. IMO the lines he took through the Off-ramp, Cotton corners, and the Sweeper were questionable. IMO hes taking a bit of an awkward line, and hes losing time in those corners. Maybe you can help explain to me why he took those lines to help me better understand.

As far as selection of gears:
1- Why did he shift into 4th before Grapevine?
2- Why did he shift into 5th before Club corner?
3- Are you guys running different gearing?

Btw, is that the same Robert Walker who drove that car at our July 7-8 NASA TT event at Big willow?
thanks

 

Bueller,

I understand what you are saying.. we actually ran 3-4 laps of consistent high 53s low 54s with Rob trying different driving lines / gear selection on each of those laps.

Yes this is the same robert walker that drove at the big willow tt event, I will have him chime in about how the car was behaving that day and some of the things he was trying.

Mike

 

Thanks, that would be great. If you would rather keep this thread relatively on-topic, you guys are welcome to PM me instead.
