Come out, 3 Evo's, 350 Z with a big turbo and a Civic all wheel drive turbo are going (well 3 Evo's if I can go). Everyone running Autox's or has recently Autox, but we all have experience launching the car. I basically have run the 1/4 mile maybe 3-4 times in my entire life, so I am least experienced of all going. I have run 5-10 (lost count) Pro-Solo Autox's where I have gotten my practice, so we will see how it translates, I am curious to find out.

My 3 year old son is freaking out right now and my wife just cursed me out to get off the f'in computer and do something. As I was hollering at my boy he spit at me, good times!

So I was washing my car today and I had three people ask me if my car was for sale because I still had my track number "2100" on my window.

No 10's yet, I was on street tires last night. Lowered my 2 setp to 5200 and still spins first gear. Atco kinda sucks anymore, might move to antoher track or just prep the track myself

I was talking to a friend last night and he did bring up a good point. The Evo's steering rack is positioned back pretty far so when the front lifts up too high not only do you lose camber, you lose toe angle too. I know everybody is saying "just get coilovers" but I don't think it's needed..........yet
