great pix. nice flames.......haha.

 

Your Evo looks almost like its about to be on 3 wheels in that second picture. Cool times.

 

damn that looks like an insane amount of fun...can't wait to go to track!!

 

the flames are relatively normal out on track.

I'm told i get about a 6 footer from my 4-5 upshift. Nobody is normally behind me, so i've never seen it on vid.

nice pics though.

 

looks like fun, and great pictures!

 

Thats it!!! SpeedGallery! thats the guy i was speaking with about his car when it began making odd noises. Turned out he had a bolt come loose on his manifold, causing a leak.

My car was parked down away from Dan's car towards "the off ramp" next to the Subaru that got wrecked, a few other sube's, and a silver and graphite gray evo.

Hell yeah they were. I had 3-4 cars spin out right in front of me on various portions of the track. They were mostly driving over their heads, not wanting to let me pass.

I had one spin out into the dirt at cotton corners. It was my first time ever having a passenger and during the run I was very fast but was making occasional comments about portions of the track or regarding the line a car ahead was taking. The distraction definitely was part of why i came over the hill too hot, hit some dirt on the track, and made the most basic mistake.... lifting my foot off the gas.

... crazy how that damned instinct to let off the gas still gets me.

I'm going to try my best to make it. I'm currently in the middle of a "change of pace" in my vehicles due to my business. I just recently ordered a sprint blue 2.0t Audi A4 and it will be arriving in November.

I'm the North American brand manager of Oettinger performance and we're going to deck the car out with both looks and their bigger turbo kit, among other mods.

I'm trying to afford keeping the evo as well though, since tracking your daily driver is just not something you can do without getting eventually burned.


Yea... it seemed like it from the drivers seat.

You cannot tell from the third photo but i've got the car into a pretty wicked power slide. hehe.

That corner "off ramp" was notorious for people overshooting the very start of the turn and going off the far side. I saw dirt clouds from that area all weekend long.

One of the corvette guys went into the tires there, cracking his whole quarterpanel in half.

 

sickkk

 

What kind of speed were you hitting in the big straight on saturday?

 

Ahh... just looked at your site. Beautiful Carrera GT. I know its a car rarely touched by mods, but if you'd like some TechArt parts for it, they're available! (sorry.... i work too much. lol)


If you're at SEMA, come by our booth! We're going to have the TechArt Carrera GT there front and center!

Yes.... this exact same car. Shipped here from Germany.

 

We used to deal with Randy, now Jon is our new sales guy.

 

Glad you had fun out there. You missed the rain by a day. Kern County has been raining non stop since sunday morning.

 

Around 120. What kind of times were you able to put down?

Barfly posted some nice in car vids on socalevo.

Yeah. I took a call from you guys today. I don't recall if it was you Simon. He asked for Jonathan so i passed the call his way. He is our main TechArt guy right now.

I'm the Brand Manager for Oettinger and also specialize in TechArt.

Jonathan is a good kid. Great at sales and drives a badass Audi RS4.

 

I was running around 120 as well in the straights when I didn't get stuck behind anyone in the riverside sweeper entering it. I think i hit 128 on one occasion but to get that fast i ended up braking a little late and it kinda miffed my entry into cotton corners.

It was starting to rain by 2pm on Sunday. Just enough to make me retire for the day and make the drive home.

The drive through the pass towards LA was brutal. The water was mixing with ash from the huge fires and caused the road to be covered in milk white mud. It was very disorienting.

 

The car looks good, nice pics
