2006 Evo Tuner Shootout
EVO Tuner Shootout
:Updated - 3/15/06
What?
Tuner Shootout
The tuner shootout was created to give Evo tuners a chance to show off their abilities to modify an Evo and compete against other tuners in two classes for the best time.
HPDE
It's also a chance for Evo owners to learn their car's limits (as well as their own) through a controlled track environment. Evo owners will be paired with an instructor (similar to an HPDE event) and will have a chance to drive on track. HPDE entries will not be competing with the tuner cars.
Car Show and National Meet
The weekend will also be host to an all Evo car show featuring multiple awards(Best in Show, Runner up, Performance/Race, JDM), and a national EvoM meet where you can meet other Evo owners from all over

This year's event will be held at Carolina Motorsports Park.

Hey guys,
Jon here with SeatTime, along with driving the AMS Evo in the shootout portion, I am handling the HPDE portion of the event.
I want to encourage people to sign up, we have a list of instructors forming including SCCA championship contenders, and I want to make sure we get HPDE entrants in in time to get good pairings.
I promise this is going to be a blast of an HPDE, my dad is going to be the "chief steward" so to speak, and he makes sure everyone gets good amounts of time at the normal SeatTime events, and this will be no different.
As a track, Carolina Motorsports Park is a blast. It has a mix of corners, with the slowest being a 45mph 190' right, and the fastest being a 114mph kink (stock Evo data) In between are corners of various speeds including a 70-mph banked right-hander. There will be spots of very hard braking, places where you will need all of your acceleration, and even more spots where ballancing your car on the edge of its cornering limits will get the heart rate and tire-temps up.
The day will start with a classroom session to help you with the basics, and take some of the edge off those first track sessions. Instructors will be in the cars with you if you haven't done it before or have limited experience, and passing zones will be limited and passes will be done by point-by only so that safety is put at a premium, and a minimum of risk will be on the cars we value so much.
I am looking forward to seeing lots of people out there, and looking forward to a great event with a lot of great people and cars.
