EVO Power in Speed World Challenge GT Class @ Miller RIGHT NOW!
I know people have talked about Evo's running in the GT class of WC for a while now, or should I say talked about how cool it would be. Well the wait is over.
Competition Associates who has been building TONS of Evo race cars for local Utah race groups has been working on a few WC cars in their spare time for over a year now. They wanted to hit last years race but didn't have the cars ready. I just talked to one of my buddies who works on them and they were out testing yesterday. They only finished one of the two cars for this race, but one EVO is better than none.
I saw lap times from the first practice session so they are out there for sure. Driver is Vesko Kozarov. Check out the practice and qualifying result as they go down the next few days. Hopefully the car stays together and they do well on their first race. the car literally was finished up a few days ago...

The cars running this weekend are built in Utah by Competition Associates. they are the first Evo's in WC and now own the homolagation for any evo wanting to run in the series. Anyone wanting to put an EVO in WC will now have to go through Competition Associates to make sure they comply with the homolagation rules.

He is running the evo against full race Vipers, Covettes, GT3's, CTS-V's, etc. All big displacement power.
Here's the entry list.
Here's a link to more info.

He seems to be doing well. He looks like hes running the pace of 15th or so. thats a huge feat considering SCCA neuters turbo cars and has a problem with AWD. Lets hope hes got another second or 2 up his sleeve for tomorrows qualifying. The SWC GT guys usually go 1-1.5 sec faster for qualy.
The ESX Subi and the skyline that ran last year looked horrible compared to this car.
Does anyone have pictures or specs?

I encourage them to bring this car out to run in the Redline Time Attack at the end of June at Miller. I don't see anything on the car as being illegal for Time Attack events. I'm sure FactorX, CWest, GST Motorsports, Top Speed and the rest of the gang would encourage the extra competition as well.

The car was literally finished a few days ago, although it's been in the works for a while. Someone from UT will need to get pics of it.
I was told the car is on super low boost. They are working off a tune Dave Buschur sent them as the car got finished before it could get a proper tune.
Their real strength in building the car is that the shop has built more than 10 EVO race cars and knows the chassis and suspension setup well. This is also their home track.
Hopefully they can turn up the boost and make some real power, but that may not happen for this race. I know their lap times at the moment are pure "stra-tee-gery", it's all part of the game.

JID, easy on the details, brother. Perhaps a little edit is in order.
Vesko has his work cut out for him for sure, but the car is close (with only about 2 hours of testing so far!) and he has the skills, we'll see where he ends up. As crew chief i sure as hell hope i'm talking to the cameras during the race!
