Probably one of three things: 1. No track nearby, 2. No money to run the Evo, 3. Afraid of dinging the Evo. Honestly, all three apply to me right now. I love racing, just don't have the time/money/location to do it right now...

 

Well, it's not exactly road racing, but all five events in the Washington DC region SCCA autocross season so far this year have been won by Evos (class victories anyway -- A Stock).

And over half of the class entrants at the SCCA National Tour event in DC were Evos.

 

That's understandable. I hope no North Texas Evo owners have those reasons. Too many tracks in the area with very safe events set up for next to nothing costs for all day events.

Drive On! Just be sure to excercise your pet regularly!

 

my EVO makes up for masculine deficiencies... without my EVO I would be half a man.

I didn't buy it to race or go fast, I bought it to get the chicks in the sack.

Besides, going fast is dangerous and is detrimental to the fuel mileage of the car, I always do at least 5 miles under the speedlimit and always shift before 3000rpms... Going slow gives the chicks a longer chance to check you out, and shifting at 3k I get 26mpg or sometimes even better.

I originally wanted an STI, but the wing wasn't high enough and it just doesn't have the COOL factor that the EVO has. As soon as the cool factor wears off on the EVO, I'll trade up to something even cooler - maybe that Caddy CTS-V series with some BLING BLING wheels - I bet the chicks would give it up FAST for that!!

SPIKE, THE EVO POSER IN ST LOUIS

 

I think you've seen the videos of what I do with my EVO...

I use the car for daily driving.

 

I live in a rural community so I have lots of open road where I can spool it up with no one else for miles. I have had it over on the coast with cool foggy air and lots of twisties. If I want to drag I'll get another wrist rocket.

 

I commute 87mi each way daily, I cruse on the weekends and I cat and mouse with any expensive car on the highway worth my time.(when it's safe). I live 30mi from Summit Point in WV. I haven't made it there yet, but I will!

 

1) Weekly Sunday afternoon high speed run to Yosemite and Sierra High Country
2) Weekly Saturday and Sunday runs around sierra foothill roads and some real fun dirt roads around my house
3) Hi speed grocery getting and dinner dates with my wife
4) 4 wheel drifts going up my buddy's twisty dirt driveway
5) The occasional weekly commute between Coarsegold and Roseville, which this Friday will be 187 miles on 2 lane Hwy 49 between Auburn and Oakhurst through California gold country in the Sierra foothills.

I'll take my unlimited mountain road driving over track time any day.. .at least for now. But I would like to hit a track soon to LEARN to drive better.

 

i use mine to empty my checkbook and beat on V8's on the weekends. during the week it hibernates

 

What about Auto crossing?
Weekend use only.... I do 500-1000 miles Mon-Fri for work.....

 

1) 30% commute.
2) 20% commute looking for victims.
3) 50% spent on the twisty back-roads.

 

Weekend car. Wish I had more time during the week.

 

daily driver till the clutch started slipping at 4200 miles. Looking foward to exedy twin plate! Dont race mine cause that whole warranty thing and i've only had it a little over a month now.

 

Daily Driver (for now hehe)
Road Course Racer
Malibu Canyons Runner (3 times a week at NIGHT)

I found that I wasn't driving my car enough, I've taken a couple 600+ mile trips, but I only live 3 miles from work, so it doesn't get driven that much. So last week I started running the Malibu canyons at night around 11:00p-1:00a. I did it 3 days that week, and plan on making it a regular occurance. No matter how hard I try though, I will never be Takumi Fujiwara!!!!
