EVOs at Watkins Glen

All right guys, some of you know that I have been to the circuit track and it was ton of fun. It was great experience that changed the way I look at cars and seriously saved me a lot of money by knowing what parts I should purchase for my EVO. The track will let you know what your EVO is and the most important thing it will show you how good of a driver you are. It was the best money I have ever spent on my EVO in fact I think it was the best money I have ever spent in my life. I can't explain in words how great it was.

I am going to Watkins Glen on 4th and 5th of July for 2 days event. Watkins Glen is one of the best tracks in the US, its very fast and it hosts a lot of professional racing series.

This event will be with Car Guys and what I like about them is that it’s not crowded and its very organized. You will not see 100+ cars there. For example in Summit point we were ~30 cars in total for full three days and the track was completely ours. I put over 350 miles of racing on my EVO and it was beyond fun.

If we get 5 guys I am sure I can call car guys and work something out. The regular price is $475 for 2 days. Of course you will need hotel which will cost ~50 per night and food. I have done it with friends and we end up sharing the room and that helped with money.


Trust me it will be the best 2 days of your life.


Price will be $400 for 2 days.

Sweet! All I need is a helmet. My brake setup is damn good right now. Though I will probably need new rotors eventually. Hawk pads < stock rotors.

Yup I need 5 people not one not three I need 5 all at once all paying almost the same day. This is no rookie event. You will know everything about everything and when you are done you will be a better man or girl...

$400 for 2 full days.

I have 5 more events that I am already signed in for.

Summit point

$400 for 2 full days is not bad at all especially that you are not going to be in some ghetto event. This event will have high-end cars, great people and real instructors. Total of 40 cars or less and the whole track 3.4 miles is ours.

Honestly Watkins is a fast track and we see it on the speed channel all the times but the less parts you have on your EVO the more knowledge you will get... You don’t need some monster brakes or some crazy WHP. All you need is talent and the heart to do it.

Yes in Watkins you will be on full throttle for almost a mile then you slow down and go in the boot... This boot is about 100 feet low. It will be like a roller costar.

Bleed your brakes and have some thread on your tires that’s all.
