I ran MAM last year, it's a fun track. The front straight is fast, I was hitting close to 120mph. I want to get out there a few times this season if possible.

Also, as for everyone getting together, Nothing wrong having an OZ join in, the more the better!
Yeah it has been a while. Pikachu is gone now, I got a Black IX (I always think of golf when I say that) a couple of weeks ago.

Justin doesn't race anymore or has he turned to the straight line stuff? I heard he and Kristi are engaged now.

The other dates we have planned for Shawano are June 24th, July 16th, and August 13th. We will probably add another at the end of the season but I can't say that for certain.

Anyone who wants to sign up is more that welcome. I consider this track to be an excellent bridge between an autocross and a more traditional big track. Everyone who goes has a blast, whether total newbies or seasoned track warriors.

It's a great learning experience for people who have only done autocross before because the turns and speeds are fairly similar to those found on an autocross course, but with the elevation changes and longer runs (up to 15 minutes) of a bigger track. I'm sure Tim will agree with me.

Oh yeah, it's a fun course and the elevation changes make it that much better. Congrats on the IX.

Justin doesn't do much racing at all anymore, there's always an excuse, but that's ok, whatever works, and yea, they are engaged

I think it would be cool to get some Iowa people together and make it to one of those events. It was a blast last year

WOOOOOOOOOOT Finally some Iowa Evo owners, its about damn time!

05 Red Evo 8 here in West Des Moines.




So far I saw a white one at the jordan creek mall, and i saw a black one pull into the gas station/mc donalds off mills civic. I live right down prairie view at Turtle Creek. Im sure the black and white one is one of you guys on here.

I just moved in From IL and its quite boring, Im happy to see there are some evo guys on here. Im up for meeting anytime around the area.

We meet at 6pm on the first wednesday of the month, at bostons on university.


Tim, good to hear your car is running. I'd love to see that thing. (used to have a dsm)
