Kevin, Congrats again on running your first 8 sec pass! I'm glad that you did well this year. You are a super nice guy and deserved to do well after 4 years of abuse It was nice seeing the ole 1g coming alive after all these years. I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds for that car. It definitely has a lot of potential... the car goes straight as an arrow!

Next thing you know i look in my rearview and i see you and dave in the passenger seat..I had to do a triple take...lol..You sure drove the hell out of that car..Im sure most people noticed me as i was one of the few asian people there with my father... .Definately worth the 8 hr trip..I will be coming back next year !

mpevo8,

I'm glad that you had a great time at the shootout! I do remember seeing you in front of us. David had me drive the car to the track so I could get a feel for it. I hadn't driven the car in almost 2 years...lol. You should have came up and introduced yourself after we got into the racetrack. Thanks for the compliments on my driving. Hopefully I'll see ya next year

Glad I got to meet you too man.

I wish I would have made it Saturday, I feel like I missed so much. I am really going to be pushing it to get my clutch in by this weekend but if I do I will get ahold of you. If you guys do any other events or track rentals also let me know. I know you guys don't like 42 much, but a private rental there is cheap enough we could do a "BR track day".

Im game for doing something at 42. Im picking up my slicks today so 42 would be fine with me for a final event of the year.

See ya there bud
Give me a call today! We're either heading down Sunday morning or after ADRL finishes up at Norwalk Saturday night.

They weren't to bad on tech last year. I do think someone cried and protested someone else for no cage or lack of cage though.

You too! Do it!

Take care,

I thought David cooked all that food? Please pass my thanks on to Renee as well David. Hopefully she was feeling OK Sunday morning.

Great driving Kevin! Thank you for taking my car down the 1/4 a couple times! It's fun to watch it from an outsiders view. I owe you a few beers! Nice meeting your family as well!

Wow, Kevin starts driving and posts on EVOm all in the same week!! Nice seeing you here buddy. You know how I feel about you and your entire family, there's nothing I wouldn't do for any of you. I have to get your something fast to drive though, the RS is too slow for you. I know that comment about you looking around at the spectators standing against the wall was the sign the car is just too slow for you Let's see what a little more boost and a little larger turbo will do to it, wait, I can't do that.............

for those of you that missed it...believe me you don't want to miss it again. I'm going to start editing my HD video tonight that I took of the quick 16 qualifying and eliminations...other vids will folllow that but I flat didn't have enough battery or camera to catch it all. There was so much to see.

btw, hats off to Norwalk drag strip, they were constantly cleaning/improving the track...I wasn't out there racing but it sure looked like they were doing their best to make sure the track was prepared. The event moved along at a nice pace.
Hey mellon, I never did get to meet you man.. Sorry we didnt bump into each other.. Glad you made it anyway and had a good time!!
