Another happy Evodave customer

It's rare for me to spend money on anything but performance upgrades, but I couldn't pass up getting my headlights/taillights upgraded by evodave. I'm pretty particular and I must say that he does excellent work. You can see in the pictures below that I chose matte black with graphite turn signals. Evodave was great to deal with, does top quality work and had my lights back to me the same week that I sent them to him. It's amazing.

I went around about 12 laps of the Nordschleife (the big loop) about a year ago in a STROSEK 350Z-R. I was a passenger in my brother-in-law's race car, but he said that folks who have made the laps qualify to add the sticker to their vehicle. He has an annual pass to the Nurburging and has logged almost 1400 laps as a driver and instructor. We drove half of our laps in the rain at speed. It was really something.

On our last lap, we were forced off the road at 120mph into wet grass a few turns from the end by some pleasure driver in a BMW 3-series. We were driving on a Sunday when the Nordschleife is open to anyone for 12 EU per lap. You will see everything from GT3-RS Porsches, sport bikes, VW Golfs and even tour buses poking along. Every few laps, particularly with the rain, we saw somebody who had spun their car into the guardrail. My brother-in-law was able to maintain control and reenter the track at about 60mph. Unfortunately it had folded his front carbon splitter under the car and we spent the next 45 minutes getting it off so we could put the car back in the trailer. He told me at that time that he had planned to surprise me and let me drive a lap, but the mishap ended that since we had to hurry repairs and head off to reach a bed-and-breakfast in Belgium before the owner locked up for the night. We ran the next day at Spa on a private track day for The Piston Club.

That's the long story of "the sticker".

It's a German thing. A sticker of the Nurburgring track layout, that signifies you've driven the track. Driving through Germany, you'll see some cars with them. The originals are sold at one gas station right outside the track in Nurburg.

I alone would be amazed just to see a race on the track in person, let alone in one of the cars on the track , or driving for that matter
