Just got back from Sears Point (now called Infineon Raceway), in Northern CA, from a 2 day DE event where I was instructing.
Monday was raining like crazy, but it did dry up tuesday. The evo in the rain is a blast, but you gotta know how to drive it, especially at Sears Point where there are walls virtually everywhere. Some pple paid the price of being too aggressive, unfortunately.

I definitely need to replace my brake pads, they suck after being hot, they fade like crazy.

There was also a skidpad setup, what better way to learn the car than on there, especially when wet. Seems I had the best traction when Snow ACD mode was on, but drifting is much easier with gravel and tarmac settings of course. I cannot wait to get the K2 ACD ECU to have more fun, as it will react MUCH quicker than the stock one.

So as promised, here are some pics, taken by a friend of mine.

 

very nice... so the side vent on the hood doesnt do anything then? i always thought it fed the intake.

 

That's a beautiful site By the way how'd you do?

 

Wheres the tags man? No plates confuses me.

Not trying to be an ***, nice pics man.

 

No the side vent doesn't do anything, it only does for rally regulations where they put the air intake there. Our air intake gets air from the front. The side vent is directly above the fuse box, won't do much good :-)

 

I took the tags off.

 

LancerEvolution,

I did good in a sense that I didn't crash It wasn't a timed event, just Driver Education. So the goal is to get home in one piece

On monday, I obviously had an unfair advantage, as I was driving an AWD and an amazing car I passed everyone and no one passed me, even in the fastest group that I run in.

On tuesday, it dried up, so people picked up the pace. I took it easy, still learning the track, and I also was on crappy street tires too. Sears is a very rewarding track to get right, but the slightest mistake, and 99% you'll hit the wall. Always remember that when pushing 10/10th.

 

What type of cars were you up against?
By the way them 18" Superleggeras look

 

Send some of your times to me so I can put them in the hall of fame! We need some EVO entries in there.

 

that car is very HOT. but i have to comment, what the **** is up with that LeMans in the last picture? not sure i can tell what kind of car it is....but give me that!

 

LancerEvolution: the wheels in the pics are the stock rims, my superleggeras are at home right now.
Many different cars were there, from S2000s to E46 M3/Mcoupe, to Z06s, Vipers, tons of Porsches (including a REAL GT2 !!!), tons of Miatas, and last but not least, a Radical SR3 (that hot LeMans looking car in the background of the last pic (in yellow) ). That thing just flies, I got a ride in it for the 2nd time since last track event, it's unbelievable. 1,050 lbs, 200HP, sequential 6-speed tranny, wow !!! AND it's a STREET LEGAL car in the UK !! yeah, I can see driving one of those every day, whatever !

TearItUp: no lap times, unfortunately, sorry. Next time

cupOznj: read comments on Radical above.

 

nice car man really nice...
and i'm sorry but i must ask ... are those damn evo VII 's from EI street legal yet!
tags man tags.. it's all i wanna see ...
i hate wining like a lil biotch but come on is your car just running events or can i expect to see you blow by me on the freeway allready!

 

M3 Stylelab: I drive it on the street/freeway every day. In fact, I drove up to Sears Point and back with it (over 800 mi round trip)

 

hey WRC.....let me first say your car is amazing btw.....GREAT color you chose...looks super phatty, and another thing....i live down in the LA area...in the San Fernando Valley.....do u think we'd be able to meet up sometime so i can chek it out?? i'd love to see it......thanks man

keep on pimpin'

 

you're telling me that LeMans thing is a two seater? damn! now seriously, where can i get one of those?
