If you are sliding with R-comps and AWD...then you're doin' it all wrong or have more power than I thought!

But seriously, it is all in good fun. You should be beating me pretty easily when I get back. I've only been gone for a little over 2 months and I have a total of about 5 minutes driving time here in a toyota truck...and the speed limit is 10mph! I am scheduling a driver's ed class for when I get back because this place will completely undo what I've learned last season. Thinking about spending the first few events in the Novice class.

Hey guys, I'm coming to Columbia for about 6-7 months starting in June/July. I wanted to introduce myself. Right now I am stationed in Texas. I think the only guy I know here is 8th Wonder.

I drive an Evo X and I like to autocross. I am just not that great at it yet, but not horrible either.





Last time I was in Columbia, this is what you might have seen me in.

I'll make a few more this year. Maybe Flo. or Chas. and any in MB.
I've been wanting to hit a Wilmington one too.

BJ, I can hook you up with a driving instructor buddy of mine that lives in Raleigh.
He has a panoz GT race car he got not too long ago.
I'm sure he could get you the heads up on the NC events up that way.

RED went on today, along with head studs..
After tuning the car is just silly now..
Still a safe tune @30 psi with 100% alky, it's ridiculous.
Man, stop being skerred and crank that boost up on that Red! I bet you're loving it!

I'm more crotchety and difficult to get along with because I'm driving my 93 Topaz all the time. Oh well.

Can I borrow them? I mean, since you're waiting on other things to get sent to ya and stuff.

My Red hasn't come in yet. And I have an anxious EVO owner in the upstate wanting the Green to! I'll get it to ya soon I hope Scott!

You better not talk bad about ol' Bertha (Topaz) or she might decide to take a hiatus herself!

Lol no problem Lecon. I'm getting my other parts all lined up for the install. All that's left is a MBC, 255 Fuel pump, and the FP install kit

I understand ya mang! That's what I do. It's just that I've finished everything I want to do, except for this built motor thing. DL can rectify that by letting me break in his engine work he's got!
