Agreed, only got to attend a couple of events with you, but sad to see the 929 Evo leaving your service. You have represented the Evo well. We will try to eventually pick up your slack , not easy to do though.

Indeed, went through the same thing bro but I can't see myself selling the old girl. FAE, fast and expensive, is just too much fun . Hope everything turns out the way ya want it.

I've been pretty quiet about the power for 2012. But, since I'm selling the car I figure it's time to share. David Buschur (Buschur Racing) spent a lot of time tuning the car earlier this year. The weather was definitely cool as it was early February but the car made right at 350whp on his Mustang dyno on the lower boost setting that I have primarily ran this year. That's a 100% stock engine tuned on 100octane.

On full tilt, it made about 360whp - which is nearly 400whp dynojet. And the graphs are fat with hp all the way through the rev band; dynosheet available to serious buyers.

Found my camera and pulled the pics from my last weekend at Mid Ohio. Pics of the fitment from running 265 BFG's on 9.5" rims. First set of BFG's I'd ever tried. Tight fit; ended up rolling the front fenders after quals.

I went to the BFG R1 - like a lot of other NASA racers - because their contingency is now a ton better than Hoosier if you're racing. BFG offers nothing for TT though.

Quick pic of the custom aluminum undertray that GP Racing whipped up for me.

Finally pulled the car off the trailer late last week. First time it's been unloaded since my last event on July 1st at Mid Ohio. Drove it down the road and back like usual (sorry neighbors) and everything felt good and solid with it. Nothing ever leaked the trailer; so everything looks and feels normal like I thought.

I need to pull off the Volks that are on it and get those cleaned up as I've got a host of people interested since I priced them low - since they're pretty beat up by now!

Been slowly selling the small stuff off:

Just realized I made my 4500th post today. That's nearly in the top 50 now (52 currently). That's just crazy - although it's taken 9 years.

I had the idea of trying to keep the car for a weekend toy & DD this morning. That damn cage is going to cause some problems with that idea though! I've got some interior bits I could put back in, get it tuned back on pump gas, pull the stickers off. Maybe... lol.

I was taking some updated interior pics and thought I'd share:

Had some interest here and there in the car, both outright and a few trade offers as well as some showing interest IF I choose to fix up the damage. So I figured before I order new parts I'd list it on Ebay 'AS-IS' at a lower price; and lower reserve.

Bid early and often...

This week will bring together racers from across the nation to compete in the yearly NASA National Championships at Mid Ohio. I was lucky enough to have the time, funds and a competitive car to make the trip last year for my first entry and it was a great experience. There was the good (a podium finish), the bad (competitor rule violations) and the political (excessive adherence checks) throughout the stretched out 4-day competition. I learned a ton from the standpoint of competition at a National level, and the level of differing commitment throughout the racing community especially from the financial aspect of it. Some years the fields are stacked deep with competitors, and other years the competition can be very light in your class - you just don't know until you get there how deep the entry sheets will be.
In the end, like a normal regional competition weekend, I will miss parts of it but not all of it! Below is a rundown of the last few National Championships:

2013 - ?
2012 - (Mid Ohio - Ohio) - Will not attend.
2011 - (Mid Ohio - Ohio) - Finished on the podium in TTA from a class packed with 14 competitors!
2010 - (Miller Motorsports Park - Utah) Did not attend. Initially it was in the plans, but a mid-year switch from TTB to TTA regionally for increased competition left me with a car short of optimized for the ruleset.
2009 - (Miller Motorsports Park - Utah) - Did not attend.
2008 - (Mid Ohio - Ohio) - Did not attend as this was just my first year of competing in NASA Time Trials.

SOLD!

Kinda ironic that the Evo sold the last day of 2012 NASA Nationals...lol

Still have my partout thread if anyone is interested; motivated to move what's left.
