The track day was a blast. A thank you definitely goes out to the Dallas Imports crew. Too bad they missed out on dinner though. Enjoy these videos of some of us who were just getting eaten alive by Kevin.

How did you like those color changing HIGH quality AutoZone pads???

This might have been the most fun I have ever had! If you have the oppertunity to get your evo on the track, TAKE IT YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT FOR SURE!
This was my first time ever on a road course, and I went off track one time, and HAD A BLAST! Every one is nice, they may laugh with you a little, but never at you! ITS AWESOME!

Kevin and I For sure win the LOUD CAR AWARD!

THANKS DI!

And thanks Tim for breaking your car so kevin and I can have a lot of fun! Thats was a huge scarafice for you, YOU'RE A GOOD MAN!

PS NOTHING FELL OFF! and I have not one but two AUTOZONE BOLTS and no welding!

Hey offroading is fun! When I was at MSR I spun out in a place where "noone goes offroad".

Rumble strips FTL. They totally unsettle the car and make you lose loads of traction!

If you do the DI events, and Im sure other events like it, you have two leader follow sessions that familurize you with the track, and tree class room sessions. It really works out nice for first timers, and is good to do once for sure. Off track is no big deal, if you see from the video its is really open, and as long as you are smart and stay in your confertzone you have nothing to worry about. If you are slower than the car behind you pull to the side wave them to pass, thats all there is to it. You really have nothing to worry about experiance and comfert level. Just get out there and have some fun!

This was seriously my first time on the track and the only person to pass me was kevin.....which wouldnt have happened if the guy in front of me would have let me by sooner

if only my ego would let me do that.. i try to be a very uncompetitive person.. but when it comes down to it, if someones trying to pass me, i wanna go faster so i dont feel like an idiot, even tho i am a beginner.
