Is this the one rumored to be taking place the day before the JGTC races in December?
Also, great fraking vid, thanks much
cali speedway is a very fast track and yet the evo seems to kick ***... says a thing or two about evos... not designed for 150mph runs but destroys other cars on a twisty or fast course

Have not had a need to empty the catch can on this car, not even after 6 road course track events.

At that race course I would happily trade the Hoosiers I ran for your Toyos, if the Toyos came with the additional 100 horsepower your car makes
John that is some serious driving. I don't think many people out there really know how much it takes to drive a car that fast around the track without messing up badly!! As usual RRE=Road Racing FURY!!! Hahaha, thanks for the vid. If you have any other vids that you would like to share, please don't hold back

The 2nd place Race 1 viper cut down a tire in turn 1 the driver with a MUCH higher skill level than 95% of the evo drivers still hit the wall hard enough to total his car (120K+) and got a ride and full check out in the ambulance thats what I mean by a track that can and will eat cars/motors. (oh the day we were there we had 8 blown race motors and 10 sheetmetal events 3 trailering the cars)John,kent,matt and myself thanked murphy for a fast and mechanicaly uneventfull day and didn't run the last two sessions!...Speedventures is one of the fastest groups and they have the best setup cars out west here ...so if they are having problems...I rest my case. I was the second fastest EVO because I cranked so much downforce into my car to stick it down I limited my top speed (my first day at this track in the EVO) but was happy with my RA1 times against the Hoosiers (within 1/2 second)
