ITs funny how many leg humpers (yes i did it too) out here saw the pinion picks and though D@MN that looks like it hurts...then see the hot peace-o-@ss on the side and all the troubles go away. I think they should have women hired at tracks just for when someone breaks down....they can make you feel all better

His car (the silver 03) sees the drag strip frequently and also loaned to us to road race it. It will be appearing at the EVO tuner shootout in the street class. The white car will probably be at NOPI Rockingham that weekend.
Cool. I remember when you first bought that car it was your daily and you told me you wanted a sunroof. All that goes out the window (no pun intended) when you all decided to make it a drag car. good choice in going with the much lighter RS.

You should drive that silver Evo at a NASA event at Mid-Ohio or something... HPDE4 or TT. I am hoping to do the one in early August with the Eclipse.

Aaron had the silver car at the NASA HPDE event at Beaver run a few weks ago.

A co-driver / instructor ran the car in HPDE4/TTU, placing third on Saturday, and second on Sunday with a best time of 1:06.539

And yeah the EVO has come a long way from when it was my daily. Good thing I never sold my civic.
