Greetings again everyone. I had some pretty rare overseas press on the #929Evo that I wanted to share. Sucks that this didn't get put into my hands until after I sold the car, but oh well. Finally getting around to scanning it in.

The story goes... a columnist from the Arizona area found me somehow and wanted to do a spread on me and the car for a new upstart British magazine. His job/goal was to share some stories about racing in the US to demonstrate that even though we're 1000's of miles apart we're not all that different. And to compare/contrast the availability of tracks, cars, competition, the racing ladder system, etc. We didn't have a lot of time (or any funds) to put together a photoshoot so I merely submitted pics that I had already. Enjoy.

its soooo coool!
I actually do think i have that magazine when you are in it

 

If you do - I'd love to have another one if you're willing to ship it...

 

Love this magazine all about Evos one of the few Magazines worth buying IMO. Congratz sir well done!!!

 

Good article Nathan! Any plans to return to racing for the upcoming season?

 

He11 YES.

I've got some plans underway already. Pretty much looking for arrive-and-drive options. Although I'm definitely open to driving or helping out someone else/team (PM me).
I'm planning to run a NASA PTE sprint race at Gateway in March and have a deposit down on a Lemon's race at Gingerman in April already. I've got a few lines on other NASA regional rentals for like VIR or Road Atlanta (SE30's) if I want to take the long drive or even rock-star it and fly in --> now that adds $ quickly!

I'd like to find some Enduro rides and I'm talking with a few renters. Running longer than the NASA ~30min Sprint races are intriguing to me; the more seattime the better! Which is where the Chumpcar/Lemon's stuff comes into play and 1.5 - 2hr stints. Although my experience with Chumpcar in 2012 was pretty much a laugher (from a rules and pure competitor ability standpoint) and it was the Regional Championship even.

 

Didnt know the types of cars youve had...Celica, Evo 8, STi, Mustang, Evo 9. Going from a Celica to the Evo 8 must have been interesting. You know whats funny, before i bought my Evo at one point i was pretty much set on buying a Celica. If that had happened, who knows, Bueller may have never been born.

 

Yep; and lol. Went from a 1995 V6 Mustang 5sp (the crappy 3.8L) to my first new car; a 2000 Celica GTS. 180hp and like 2400lbs - it was def faster, and a 6sp too. It had 8k worth of hail damage after like 8 months so I traded it in for an 01 Celica. Then onto the 03 Evo VIII - which I got in April 2003 I think. 2nd one in STL (sat in the first one before dude picked it up) and it was sooo difficult at like 25 yrs old just to find someone to let me testdrive one.

 

Super neat magazine, my car made into the last issue. I wish it was easier to find here in the states.

 

Awesome, two of the cars that I've followed since I got into the Evo platform both in the mag. Maybe one of these years my baby will make it!

 

Very cool.

 

awesome. jealous

 

badass!

 

Still looking for extra copies if anyone has something available. I'll pay to ship it.

PM me; thanks.
