19th Annual DSM/EVO Shootout, presented by Buschur Racing
Finally rolled in back to Pittsburgh...damn rain half way home....
Great event, THANKS GOES OUT TO Dave Buschur for holding a GREAT event. This was my first and I had a great time....
...don't know where if I placed in the ME/ES class, but my autocross was good...but I couldn't get into the 11's no how for the drag portion today....two 12.1's for the last two qualifyers. I couldn't get a decent 60 foot...which was surprising since Norwalk usually is pretty sticky is what I have heard...I guess the rain and humidity was wreaking havoc on others?
Still...a fantastic time....can't wait for next year...

A great time. Thanks for Buschur Racing for always putting together such a great event.
Almost won Evo Eliminator however, a silly mistake cost me the win. Hats off to Chris for a fast ride and the number one spot!
Great seeing everyone and had a blast...now it's time for bed.

Where to start?
It was so good to have the car back on the road and to have such an overwhelming amount of compliments on the car was worth all of the work of putting it back together.
There were so many people who took pictures of the car, and I am only now home to start collecting them. I met so many people whom I forgot most of the names despite my efforts to try.
The car did great, though I should have transplanted a stig into the seat to drag race. I finally got one 12.4 run in for the last session, as apparently I can't launch a car worth a poop. Must have been track driving too long.
The autocross layout was a little simplified because of the constrained design of not having a full parking lot to work with. It was great to just crank the car around regardless.
I am really lucky Chris (hiboost) was my travel partner, as he helped me clean up the tune of the car quite a bit. Next year I am going to setup a booth and pimp Chris out for an hour rate for tuning services on site.

And if anyone whats to share some highlights, that would be great.
Who's the CFM or CFT something car? White FWD talon drag prepped? Dude was doing pulls in the pits with people walking around. Idiots that end up ruining a good time. Just a thought David, what if we move the shootout to Saturday and run into the night? Make the schedule easier for all the guys breaking down.
Good suggestion - that way Sunday can be used for travelling back to far away places. An afternoon into night race event would be even better.
