Circuit of the Americas in my EVO x track car

My wife and I had the opportunity to take the Evo X out to the Circuit Of The Americas in Austin, Threw The DriversEdge program. We had a F-ing blast, The best way to describe driving your own car on this track is to say its a real life video game, The track is huge 3.4 miles a lap, Easy to learn and Fast Fast Fast.

Wife drove 4 sessions Saturday, each session is 25 mins long, Mostly rain Saturday but the EVO hooks in the gravel so we didnt care wet or dry. She did well and had a great time!

I Drove Sunday the same 4 Sessions, But the old lady basically was a little hard on the car Saturday so my first session was cut short, a few repairs and back out for #2 run and #3 run, I killed the car on the #3 run so we called it a day.

My best 2.31 lap time 30mph low speed and 149mph high speed. The back straight is 3/4 mile long.... AWESOME TRACK
pics and Video

















Going back in a few months, Cant wait!!

Well done. The 1st vid showed the Porsche getting loose & the subsequent point-by

One of my friends flagged the entire F1 weekend at COTA. Great facility

Again, nice job out there representing the EVO community

Nice Stilo. What communications are you using? Chatterbox? How's it working out? Looking to purchase a Stilo in the next month or so, hoping a retailer puts a sale on.
