I can only see the 3rd picture so, maybe I'm missing something but, it said "tied for 3rd place overall". It didn't win the overall like some people are making it sound did it?

Either way congrats, it's no small feat to make it into the top 10 let alone top 5.

Unfortunately, OP the mods will probably delete your pics/post; it violates the evom rules.

I believe this IS the first Evo to win the USCC.

did you guys ever start the AMS victories compilation thread that i recommended after you set the quickest drag time?

Not long at all. When we first got the X, we spent a bunch of time working on the exhaust, IC, piping, testing etc.. We got the car ready for the competition in three short weeks.

We are working on a summary of this years accomplishments. SEMA stuff is kicking our butts right now and gobbling up a lot of time.

Oh, OK. I didn't see anything about the AMS X in the first post and the first 3 pics are out on my machine.

Congrats.
