1st Nebraska EVO owners meet
Hi All,
I would have to say the 1st eva EVO meet in Nebraska was a success.
It was a great time meeting all of you in person. We must definately do this more often and try and get more EVO owners from the surrounding areas, especially Lincoln, NE to attend these events. Anyone have any suggestion as to when and where we should arrange the next one? 
Oh yea! and those of you who had cameras, please post up the pics (email me a copy) when you get a chance .....

Indeed, it was great meeting everyone! I've got pics but they're not developed yet. I forgot to bring the digital soooo... no easy posts for me. When I get them printed, I'll scan them and post.
How about wings or pizza? Those are always good for large gatherings...

Are you guys talking about the DSM meet you piggybacked on
If so, that was a great time, huge turnout for both DSM and EVOs
Do you guys know Suraj? I have a couple questions about an upcoming SCCA event.

Scca
Duh... never mind I guess I need to open my eyes a bit more often 
DWP,
Is there an SCCA event going down at MAC this weekend? If so, could you send me a link (if there is one) to a rules and regs list? Or off the top of your head, what are the safety requirements for both vehicle and driver?
Are they as strict as track rules... ie 100% H20 in rad, wired oil plug etc?
Is pre regging necessary?

Nice meeting you all, and I'd really like to see some pics from the event. I guess patience is a virtue. By the way, it looks like Kwik Shop has 93 octane gas, albeit with 10% ethanol. I went to the one out by Home Depot on 72nd near Military Road, and there it was, 93. You get a $.06 discount per gallon if you have a Baker's card. I think all Kwik Shops have the 93, their parent corporation (Kroger) has some arrangement with the Kansas Farm Bureau, so all their gas is an ethanol blend.
But anyhoo, I'm going to start running 10% 93 octane and see how it goes. I figure A) Ethanol blends have been around forever, so those early probs running ethanol blends is probably part of the past. 2) You can buy alcohol injection kits, which even though the m/ethanol doesn't get atomized by the fuel injectors -- it's injected into the intake path, it should still be somewhat beneficial to have a portion of my gas be ethanol, or at the very least, not harmful.
Good luck to everyone auto-x-ing on Sunday, I might be out to spectate. No auto-x for me while I'm still on winter tires.

Yeah, I've tried the ethanol 93 blend. It tends not to idle well during the warmer months for me. The best solution I have used is adding a gallon of Toluene with every fillup to BP 92. That has been a really good combo for me. Very smooth and allows a little extra boost.
Good luck to all you Auto-x-ers!

I'm glad you guys had a great time yeah we mooched off the DSM meet to get as many EVO owner together :P ....
onekyoung: I could probably answer most of you Auto-X questions. Yes the event will be held at Mid America Center this Sunday, 10th of April. Plan on getting there by @ least 10am. My recommendation is get there by 9am. For those of you who are 1st timers, I highly recommend that you ride with someone on the first lap through the course and walk the course. Entry fee is $30 for non-SCCA members and $20 for members. You do need a helmet that is Snell 2000 rated but if you don't have one they have plenty of spares over there. As always for safety reasons the all fluid containers in the car need to be capped to avoid spillage, but not that strict as 100% H2O in rad. Also, know your exact list of mods so that you can be placed in the appropriate class. All in all, its a great time and I highly recommend that you guys try it. I would love to see more DSMs in these events.
I'll be there between 9 and 9:30am and will be happy to let one of you ride with me on the 1st lap. Feel free to ask me any questions but I can't guarantee to answer all of them as I have only 1 year under my belt.
Wish me luck as I plan on taking 1st in A stock powa
Now, I suggest we have our next meet on May 7th ..... we can have cookout in a park or we can do BW3s? Thoughts ....

Ya,, I was looking for this thread,,,, I would love to see the pics of the evos scanned and put up here.......... I almost went back to work to get my digi cam,, , but thought for sure at least one other person would have one.
I think the picture of the 7 evos will look great with the lake in the background. The most scenery we can get here i guess?
Hope to see it soon and catch up with all you guys and girls latter

The ugly Subarus won the day. 
Here are the results: http://www.nrscca.com/results/er20050410.php
I certainly didn't do as well as I had hoped. I had my XEDE unhooked because I had screwed up the maps on Saturday. I also needed my rear sway-bar on a stiffer setting. Then, it turned out someone already has my favorite number for the season. Oh, and I couldn't use my SA2000 AGV helmet because the Snell sticker is missing or hidden really well. Excuses aside, I need to learn how to drive.
