I most likely can't make next sunday. I have a buyer set up for my evo. Planning on coming up friday. Should have the next one soon after but I have to make a little journey to get it.

I picked mine up in PHX! But yea, me either.. I'll have the wheels/tires soon but totally need to get aligned and **** before I do anything fun...

I don't wanna be like Carlos, driving around with his unaligned nonsense.

damn't that pissed me off. I sat the whole time freezing my @$$ off in that wind. I tried to run my gsx but got there at 915 and it was blocked off already I did see your yellow evo run and was glad that you actually ran respectable times after I saw the 15.25 lol.

all the money and fixing ****, he can at least get a trap speed

edit: going to the drag strip is A LOT CHEAPER as well
it is but the drving to dollar ratio is alot better with ax/HPDEs

50 bucks gets you 8-10 minutes of driving in ax
200 bucks gets you 2 hours at a HPDE
and Drag racing (whatever it is going for) gets you about a minute total if your lucky to get enough runs in.

Track was super slippery so I couldn't manage a good 60 ft... I think a 12.9 could have been had without the woman and the 30 mph headwind!!


PS. did anyone see a Green Lambo LP560 do a fly by at the autocross around lunchtime Saturday? That was me.
yes hahaha I was on the mic announcing and I thought it was Rudy show boating, hahaha.
Karim brought the 430 by and I proceeded to give myself a concussion getting in the damn thing, I mean hell when I drove a Saleen S7 I didnt have trouble with the roof, and I headbutted the **** out of the roof getting in that rarri.

That's good to hear from someone who has actually driven them. I always have said that but always just assumed our cars were capable of the same thing many of those whips are.

Ya that was me. I knew there would be a few evo owners over there so I figured I would give some 10cylinder love.

Karim was over in the Ferrari I was using on Saturday. I love that car; big brakes, color matches seats and carbon fiber dash.
