ROAD/RACE EVO Wins Championship

I wanted to share some good news with everyone and take the opportunity to thank the people who supported us.

This last weekend we secured the 2004 Open Class Championship in our EVO. The Border Series Championship is a Mexican /U.S. FIA series. Our EVO battled it out all year in their OPEN CLASS, anything goes catagory. The class is made up of a variety of cars from Ferraris, Porsches, BMWs, Corvettes, RX-7s, etc. We took our the ROAD/RACE Engineering EVO down to run the street course series.

I want to personally thank Mike Welch (RRE Master Pimp) for all his hard work and all the guys at the shop who helped us prepare the car. Driving it was a blast and racing it is the most fun you can have with your pants on. I would also like to thank our Pit Crew: Nino, Rick James, Boni, Andrew, Pork Rhines, Devoted and everyone else who contributed. I also want to thank sponsors like: ROAD/RACE ENGINEERING, Greddy, Toyo Tire, AEM, Carbontrix, Stop Tech, Magnus, Enkei, 4G63.com, Magnaflow, and others. I believe this is the first North American Championship for the EVO so it is kind of a milestone. I am honored to have driven the car and to collect another championship.

Here is a link for an MPEG clip of us on the way to 1st place at Tecate.

Thanks Robert Tallini

ROAD///RACE

Actually, Nancy Maloney won the solo2 nationals last month in ESPL in a 03 evo. So I think she might have been the first person to win a "national" level event in a evo.

just my 2 cents.
