NASA Driver Spotlight - boomn29!

I'm famous! Well, a little...

Got an email from the head of the NASA organization today. I've been chosen for the spotlight driver for NASA Midwest over the next 4 or so days. It's not much, but it is kinda neat. Here's the link:

www.nasamidwest.com

On the right side, if you view my profile you can see some of my highlights, mods, and of course sponsors! So probably a good time to thank everyone that's gotten me this far which; especially AMS for helping tune such a reliable car for track abuse. Also, Muellerized for delivering me a suspension that actually turns the car w/o understeer! I also want to include all the vendors I bug with questions and eventual orders and fellow Evo'mers that I bug with questions as well.

For more detailed info on my setup and results this season, check out my BLOG!

And a few quick pics:

Yeah, Orlando and John have been great with recommendations. I told them to send me a Muellerized sticker and I'd sport it.

If only they weren't so busy in March getting some ST2 car ready.... (hmmmm)

Maybe somebody's 'random' is broke because I'm the spotlighted driver again?!?!

Here's a pic from my last event:

Yeah, seen your comment on my youtube page. Thx.

I have pulled all the vid from my first 09 NASA event. I haven't spliced up any footage yet though. Looking at TT footage isn't the most interesting really. You look for open room to run on the track and when you get in traffic you back down a bit to conserve tires/brakes/gas for the next full good lap! lol.

As an observer, the traffic is what's interesting and helps to gauge the actual speed!
